My first build with a budget

anak15 · 07-04-2008, 01:06 PM

Hi, this is my first build and i know a little bit about computers but not enough to build my own. So im looking for a computer that can game pretty well for the money. My budget is 600$ wihtout shipping and i do not need a moniter. If you could help me out it would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

is it possible to salvage the hard drive and DVD drive from your old computer?
here's a combo deal with a cheap good looking case and vista
Newegg.com - RAIDMAX Scorpio ATX-868WBP Black 0.8mm Japanese SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 420watts PS2 ATX12V Power Supply - Computer Cases
of course you will need to add one or two 80mm intake fans of your choice of color/noise level
Newegg.com - Case Fan, 80mm, Case Fans, Fans & Heatsinks, Computer Hardware
its not the highest quality case, but it works. Here's an alternative with a simpler look

Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER Elite 330 RC-330-KKN1-GP Black SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases

Newegg.com - GIGABYTE GV-RX387512H Radeon HD 3870 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards
