Need Help Building a Budget PC

[Smithy]

Derp.

 

You may refer to my previous post.  I'm innocent! 

[Taser]

Never knew about that site before, will certainly help me at least (I have a feeling I will be doing 95-100% of the research).

Thanks babe!

No problem hon.

Seems smithy and zagibu came up with decent stuff.

What are you going with here?

[Smithy]

Alright.  Took a little more time with this setup.. I'm no PC building master but, for the price this seems quite good to me.  I may actually be upgrading my PC with a similar GPU soon.


Case Can't beat the price.
NZXT GAMMA Classic Series GAMA-001BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

MOBO Can't beat the price, and will work fine for your application.
ASRock 960GM/U3S3 FX AM3+ AMD 760G SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard

RAM 4gb is fine for Warband and most oldish games unless you plan on hosting servers.
CORSAIR Vengeance 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM

PSU Great reviews, great price.
APEX AL-A400ATX 400W ATX12V Power Supply

CPU Great reviews, great price, I personally have this CPU and no issues, runs great.
AMD FX-4130 Zambezi 3.8GHz Socket AM3+ Quad-Core Desktop Processor

GPU Good price, good reviews, compact size.  I have had MSI cards in the past, no issues.
MSI R7770-PMD1GD5 Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

Optic Drive Even squeezed in a DVD burner. 
LG Internal Super Multi Drive

Total
$391.93 !!


Good luck

Bumping - Just in case you're still looking for PC advice, Jona.

Thanks man, that looks like a promising last suggestion you have there... gonna have to rethink what we were going to currently go with perhaps. I've been trying to reach my pal who I am looking at this for... we almost decided on a final build a couple nights ago, left it at that... been unable to reach him since, lol.


I think that we've got plenty of good suggestions to look at for now, no need to continue looking. And don't worry, I won't forget about your prize, should you be deemed worthy.

[Smithy]

Yeah man its no issue, hope you get it sorted out and are able to build something you're both satisfied with.  Good luck, and let me know how it turns out once whatever you've decided on is all together and running.

Will do man, appreciate the assistance. The tricky part is finding a date when I can get together with him to build, I'm thinking he's going to be needing my help. Unfortunately he lives a good 2.5-3 hours away.
