Looking for a decent $450 to $500 gaming/casual build
5 replies, posted
hey, i'm looking for a decent $500 to $600 gaming/casual use build.
Gaming as in I'd like to be able to run most games that are out today. Casual as in it will be used for development and such with average applications.
-Budget: $500 - $600
-Games that you'll play/Applications you'll use: Average games that are out today. Average applications like Google Chrome and Steam.
-Native resolution of your monitor: 1900x600, I'd like it somewhere in that area for the max resolution.
-Things you can reuse (OS, hard drive, optical drive): I do need an OS, and optical drive. I'd like to purchase an SSD for the OS, and maybe a 500gb-1tb harddrive if budget allows. I already have a keyboard set. I already purchased a case a while ago, so I have that covered. The case is this: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139008[/url]
-Extras that you want (monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, etc): I'd like a 21 inch monitor at least, mouse is covered, speakers is covered, keyboard is covered.
-Where you live: US
I would also like to go for a Intel CPU instead, but if it's AMD and you think it'll do well, then feel free to still recommend it. Thanks.
you want a 450 - 500 dollar build and you want a native resolution of 1900x600 it doesn't work like that man
make the budget 500-600 instead actually

Because you do mean that you can re-use your OS, hard drive, and optical drive, right?

Oh, and add this cooler to it, the stock one is very "ech"

yeah, good suggestion above.
though, if possible, maybe a quad core instead of a dual core? also, I don't need that strong of a graphics card, but I do need a decent one to cope with today's standards. 8gb RAM is good. also forgot to mention, I already have a keyboard set.
I do need an OS, preferably windows 8, an optical drive, and if possible a SSD for the OS with a harddrive for the rest, maybe 500gb-1tb if this budget allows. i'll make these edits to the post now.
Yeah, you'd need a budget of 8-900 USD for that to work out
