Me and my brother spent a little while on newegg trying to build a decent PC for under 500 USD, what do you think of this? If you know anything better that can fit under my budget, please tell me. [img]http://i33.tinypic.com/14ngwmb.png[/img]
Where's the graphics card? I bet you can get more for you money than that.
The Motherboard has integrated graphics...DVI and VGA BTW this is NOT Wiiunite talking, this is his BROTHER, who's facepunch I will not disclose at this time until I see fit. [editline]04:18AM[/editline] FUCK, 4 in the morning, we will be back tomorrow, but we still need opinions, reviews, and/or advice that anyone has.
You really want to have a dedicated GPU at that budget.
This PSU is clearly overkill. And oh god the HDD. Go instead for Samsung Spinpoint 500GB or 1 TB at 7200 RPM
Get Samsung Spinpoint F4 or how it's called

Do you really need a 800 gb HDD? :ninja:
That CPU is also pretty low-end, and the RAM doesn't fit in the motherboard.
And you can't use DDR3 RAM on socket 775
Yeah and get a Samsung F3/F4 or whatever that is [b]not[/b] a WDC Green
-damn, ninja-
automerge broken

Damn, we keep breaking each other's automerge

If you're going to get a dual core from Intel, make sure it's Core 2 Duo.
Core 2 Duo processors are too expensive for his budget, maybe Pentium Dual Core but it's not worth it.
BTW, I am the brother. I spent a little time on newegg this morning, and does this look any better/worse? Just like before, please post all opinions, reviews, and/or advice that you might have. [img]http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/4193/custompc2.jpg[/img]
Clearly not.

Yeah, it's not worth it to have a quad core if you don't even have a dedicated graphics card [editline]07:53PM[/editline] ADT has a pretty good build.
His build is also $100 over budget
[QUOTE=ADT;24207698]And you can't use DDR3 RAM on socket 775[/QUOTE] yes you can
[QUOTE=Odellus;24214349]yes you can[/QUOTE] Oh, just realised that the motherboard in the OP actually supports that.
[QUOTE=FINLEY;24214329]His build is also $100 over budget[/QUOTE] What
[QUOTE=Budget]$500[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=ADT]$491.92[/QUOTE]
If FINLEY means that I didn't count Seven OS in the shopping cart, it's normal because OP could buy an good graphic card instead. [editline]08:37PM[/editline] OP can wait when he will have the money again to buy the OS.

[QUOTE=Odellus;24215087]that's silly[/QUOTE] So what? You prefer that OP has no card graphic for months instead?
