• Help required for PC build
    21 replies, posted
Alright guys, i need help on this big time. I've never built a computer before, and have no idea how to. I have $400 dollars to spend and I really want a computer because I'm tired of having my laptop crash when playing games on low settings. Now, I'm not looking for some huge, monsterous machine that can run Crysis on max settings. I just need something that can run games like WoW, GMod or TF2 on high settings. Can anyone show me a good build for this budget? any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is that really worth $2151?? its kinda, not very worth that amount of money, you could get like, well, a nice i7 radeon 5870 build for that Or is this so old that all of that stuff is meant to be awesome?
