My little brother emailed me the list below to see if it's any good for a sub-$1000 gaming computer. Unfortunately, I don't really know much about this stuff anymore, so I told him I would ask GAF.
My immediate reactions are that the RAM seems way too low and that there's no OS. Apart from that, I am at your mercy. Thank you in advance for any feedback.
