• Need help building/buying a light gaming computer for under $500
    6 replies, posted
Well, due to a horrifying electrical fire my old computer is sort of toast, but lucky me I got caught during a time where I only have a bit of money to put down on something. So now, I've got a budget of about 400-500 dollars (really can't afford to go over). I live in the US (florida, if it matters any) What I still have: monitor, keyboard, mouse, headset, extra harddrive that didn't get all burnt up. I could probably get either XP or Windows 7 from a friend What games I need to play: TF2 and WoW on medium/low settings with a decent FPS So, I'm willing to build a computer (or buy a prebuilt one, it'll save me some hassle), but take note I've never assembled my own computer before. I'm sure it wouldn't be very hard to learn, considering I've been fiddling with the hardware on my old one for ages. Is what I'm asking for out of line? or is it possible to make a decent build with my budget?
If you build a computer you can max the games you listed. [editline]10:37PM[/editline] Building a computer is extremely easy.

If I can get away with spending less to run the aforementioned games on medium without difficulty, I'd definitely appreciate some actual builds.

If you buy it soon, remember to use that promo code on the HIS video card, it will negate the cost of shipping.
That build is perfect
