• Desperately cheap build
    22 replies, posted
I'm looking for a [i]very[/i] cheap build that could run TF2, and if possibly L4D. Anyone have any suggestions? I need the cheapest thing available.
I don't think you can get anything that runs L4d cheap.

You never specified your country. [editline]06:43PM[/editline] You can max tf2/l4d with a $500 build.
Your best shot would be to save up for a real build instead of a 'desperately cheap' one. It's worth the wait in the long run. [editline]06:44PM[/editline] Mainly because of this [QUOTE=dcss;17585420]13 dollar PSU. Uh oh...[/QUOTE]
yeah u may want to save up about 600$ to 800$(if your in the US) to get a decent build

[QUOTE=Big Blue;17592779]single core? i couldnt even imagine...[/QUOTE] IIRC it can be unlocked to 2 cores.

Save up to $500. That computer would last about 6 months and by then you would've had the money to buy a better build that would've lasted longer.
[QUOTE=.ediT;17592951]wat[/QUOTE] I think I remember reading there is a secondary disabled core on that processor. It could be another processor, though.
If you want, I have a spare 450w IIRC, I can send it to you for 20$ or less shipped If your in continental 48 States.
if you have 160 I can do it but I won't recommend anything under that

save up 1k and buy a nice computer that works for new games for 4 years (possibly)
[QUOTE=Jimmymi;17603097]save up 1k and buy a nice computer that works for new games for 4 years (possibly)[/QUOTE] I built a computer for 700€ last year with this: Q6600, 4GB RAM, HD3870 - no game has caused any trouble yet and I don't think I [i]have to[/i] change any parts. For 600-700€ you can get a better computer these days with a high end HD4000 series video card. That's what I would do. Don't build a computer for 200€ with all the cheapest parts you can find, save some money and built something that lasts a few years.
Single core really isn't that bad. I run TF2 with slight lag but still playable on a single core.
