• Make me a build under $700
    15 replies, posted
Budget: at the most, $700. The cheaper, the better. Country: US Apps n' games n' shit: Music, Source games and Unreal games. What I can reuse: Hard drive Extras: key board, speakers, and web cam (possibly). I already have a mouse and (shitty) monitor. Now Facepunch, BUILD! [editline]27th February 2011[/editline] Also, I've never built a computer before. Tuts needed?
Do you need an OS? Also what is the monitor's resolution?
also tell us whether your HDD is IDE or SATA also [url]www.pcityourself.com[/url]
Don't need an OS, and I have no idea what the res on my monitor is. As for the hard drive, I have no idea what type it is. It's off a laptop (using brackets to be able to mount it in a desktop) if that helps. Wow I'm fucking useless.
If it's a laptop HDD, it's probably 5400rpm, so just get a new HDD - your budget is plenty anyway
But then I'd have to get a new OS, re-download games, re-install virus software, lose a buch of data... etc.
you don't have it on a disk?
Wait. HURRRRR. I forgot that I could just copy it over to a new drive. [editline]27th February 2011[/editline] dem ninjas
Well. Times like now make me wish i could bump. Automerge: Plays in my favor for once.
Here is something for $662 grand total with EMCKGKJ83 [media]http://i.imgur.com/0bsV5.png[/media] Links: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106335[/url] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136760[/url] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157176[/url] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231253[/url] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103921[/url] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.590983[/url] [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.613616[/url] [editline]wefe[/editline] I feel like you can do better though. You should see what other people post.
Thanks mate. I think I'll stick with my current hard drive though, so I'll ditch the OS and hard drive. Chances are I'll upgrade later, but every little bit off now helps. [editline]1st March 2011[/editline] Assuming no one posts better of coarse.
Not too sure about that ASrock motherboard. Might consider swinging for a better board.
nothing wrong with asrock, especially for lower budgets
[QUOTE=reapaninja;28376573]nothing wrong with asrock, especially for lower budgets[/QUOTE] For a $700 budget that doesn't need an OS, nor a HDD, I'd say there are better choices. This board below would give him a bunch of extra features like Crossfire compatibility and USB 3.0. [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131668[/url]
if you're going to spend more on the motherboard this one is a better option [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157198&cm_re=asrock_870-_-13-157-198-_-Product[/url]
