• Putting together a last minute very low budget machine, need confirmation
    7 replies, posted
I've been asked to build a computer for someone which will play Live For Speed and some other games, as well as act as a Media PC. It didn't need to be anything fancy, hence why I haven't included a sound card, high-end graphics card or CPU. I've never built with an AMD CPU before so this is new to me. Is it all going to work together and is there anything better for cheaper or nearly the same price?

you could get away with 2GB RAM [url]http://www.ebuyer.com/product/178942[/url] single stick so you can always upgrade to a second if it ever becomes necessary and swap the HDD to a spinpoint F3

there's a 500GB spinpoint and does he have a reason for needing 4GB RAM or is he just presuming that more RAM = instantly faster
And get the fucking 4830. Now. No excuse, it's a fuckton better, really, for a lower price. For fuckfuckitifuckfuck's sake..
