My friend is needing help building a PC on a small budget. So far I have this. CPU 70 [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116072[/url] MOTHERBOARD 53 [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131369[/url] VIDEO CARD 110 [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130325[/url] RAM 64 [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227289[/url] but, that is not a full computer and I don't know how bad it bottle necks or what is bottle necking. I need some help with this, thanks.
You need a power supply, case, hdd, os and optical.
I suggest AMD. I'll get something together! Ok, this is what I have got: CPU $49.99 AMD Athlon 64 X2 (Dual Core) 2.5Ghz [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103628[/url] Motherboard $74.99>$64.99 after mail-in rebate Gigabyte [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128379[/url] Video Card $119 ATI Radeon 4850 [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150351[/url] RAM $59 GSkill 4GB [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231211[/url] Case $99 Antec (Comes with Antec 500w PSU) [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129024[/url] HDD $69 750GB [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152099[/url] Optical Drive $18 Sony DVD-ROM OEM [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827118031[/url] OS Windows Vista Home Premium 64Bit with W7 Upgrade $109 It is $597 without rebates! I think that is resonable and that is for everything.
~$350 ≠ ~$600 You posted that on another thread too.
Yes I did but this is the original I posted on. I gave another person on that thread an idea. I just copied it!
Hold up, I'll get something

[url]http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=14260948[/url] "Decent gaming PC" isn't going to happen at $350. This will at least play every modern game. Keep in mind, that doesn't mean it's going to be an enjoyable experience. "Decent gaming PC" doesn't start until around $800.
i think he means upgrade
In the OP he said full computer. I'm thinking he means he needs an entire build.
I was doing what he asked. Would that be a decent computer to game on that I made up?
[QUOTE=S.T.O.R.M;15917231]I was doing what he asked. Would that be a decent computer to game on that I made up?[/QUOTE] Yeah, that looks good but a little expensive. I don't need to run crysis on max, guys. Also, I do need a full computer, without maybe a hard drive.
No way you are getting something for gaming at that price if you need to buy a monitor with it. He'd be better off getting a 360 for that price. However, I'd suggest these tips to save money on the budget: 2gb ram only, save money there Use free Win 7 RC for now, save money on the OS cost ATI 4670 as vidcard $40 powersupply, such as a Coolermaster(case and PSU combo if it can be had cheaper than case and PSU separately) cheapest case you can find $40 harddrive if needed $25 dvd burner, wait for deal if you need to
what's the system he's using currently, might be easier to upgrade that

Why does everyone keep using that CD burner instead of a DVD optical?
Because everyone is retarded. [editline]06:51PM[/editline] Trying to save ten dollars by buying an obsolete reader.
Yeah, I made the same mistake on another build, it just looks like a good deal, but it's not.
[QUOTE=reapaninja;15922784]Why does everyone keep using that CD burner instead of a DVD optical?[/QUOTE] Get the Sony DVD drive like I found $18.
Out of stock, this lite-on is the only one left. [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106275[/url] Besides burners, that is.
I'm getting some info for you guys. Thanks for all the help so far, it's appreciated.
No prob. By the way, what does the guy really want?
Yeah, does he use the computer for super hardcore gaming action, or interwebs, or music, or...
That was a stupid question, what is the title of the thread!
What games does he want to run and on what settings.
yeah [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106291[/url] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102838[/url] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835200014[/url] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.208512[/url] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.213493[/url] 7750+, 4gb DDR2 800, 4650 GDDR3, 780G, coolermaster case and psu 460watt, dvd drive 320gb hdd [editline]11:52PM[/editline] 334
