Building your own is not that hard. If you are not into it, you may want to check out a reputable local builder (Mom and Pop store) in your area and tell them what you are after. You may be surprised at the pricing, and quality. You may want to check out the Dell Outlet and see what they have as well. |

A custom economical and reliable computer can be built for $600....probably better and faster than any factory computer. glc will have a better idea than I. It won't be a barn burner gaming machine but it will be able to run some of the less graphics intensive games at decent frame rates and settings. Just make sure you buy enough of a PSU so one day if you want you can buy a more powerful graphics card that will work with your computer. A 650 watt PSU will power almost all of the cards available.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-012-_-Product We can put together a recipe of parts. Assembly is relatively easy by reading the guide in PCMech and the instruction book that comes with the motherboard. Any questions you have can be answered here. We are fluent in English and don't read from a troubleshooting tree as well.

That's a very tough price point for building a computer that's a suitable gaming machine. The operating system alone is 100 bucks.
Then, you have keyboard, mouse, monitor, etc........... |

Bookmark this thread, and when you have the $$$ bring it back up instead of opening a new one, please!
However, if you LIKE that case, order it RIGHT NOW - with the promo code, free shipping, and rebate you cannot get any other name brand case for anywhere close to that price. There's nothing else on that list that would stand out as being a "must buy now" item. Last edited by glc; 05-16-2011 at 12:44 AM. |
