I need a low-end PC build that can handle some modern MMO's, GW2 and the like. Nothing needs to be at max settings and I don't plan on using it for huge 1080p stuff either. I do need an OS, I have my own monitor/keyboard/mouse though. All suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Well obviously you don't plan on Overclocking so here's a pretty good and affordable build: - Gigabyte GA-H77M-D3H Motherboard Intel LGA1155: $80-100 - Intel Core i5 3570 Quad Core: $200-220 - Gigabyte AMD Radeon HD 7850: $220+ - A 500W minimum power supply: $35+ - DDR3 RAM 2x 4GB or whatever get at least 4 GB RAM: $45+ - 1TB SATA HDD: $70+ - Windows 7 Ultimate/Professional 64-Bit Prices depend on where and when you shop, I would wait until Christmas to start buying as the specials usually kick in then...

Just a mere example, you have to shop around and look for the cheapest prices. You could get another CPU but i recommend i5
I noticed you're using Windows 7. Are you able to carry that over onto the new build? If you're able to carry over your Windows 7 onto the new PC then it would give an extra $100 of available budget space and would make a very big difference (like a significantly better GPU).

This is my main gaming PC but I'm looking for something cheap and effective for some MMO's and Day-Z and the like that my little cousins can mess with, without any lag. Probably won't need a 1T HDD so I can definitly shave that down. This build actually looks just about right though. Not overkill and will handle some smaller games on low res. Thanks man, this helps a ton.
