TOO POOR RAINP
Well how does 700 sound?
Really don't want to read all that haha. But yeah, I can always get a nice CPU for 100-200$ when Christmas or something comes around. I think I'm going to spend more money on a case and a mobo since those are the key things for upgrading. I have 500 set side for the computer atm and I'll have 600 in a day or two, but I have 200 of chill money that I can probably add there. So 700 - 800 is the current build. But 550 is always nice.Sounds better. You could with a push get a higher spec graphic card, but at the cost of the CPU and Ram.

Yeah I dunno if fujin will include the OS in the build money or if he has a CD lying around. I was thinking of making it a linux rig but then I couldn't play some of the games unless I twist and run all kinds of things.Yeah, get set on a case and mobo, take it from there. You don't really need more than 8 gb either. You can probably go for just 4 gb and get a cheaper price on windows 7 32 - bit.
yeah, if your going for a budget machine it's pretty much not worth going to the extra effort to build.
That's not true at all. Buy what you can now and upgrade later. You can get a rig that will run any game out there right now for $500-$600. Looking to the future, and aiming for optimal settings/graphics you can pull it off with $600-$700 (it's just not easy). Plus, anything he doesn't have the money for now, he can just upgrade later. That's what I did, I went mid-grade that could run everything (just not at full jizztastic graphics), and upgraded from there as money allowed.
You doubt Fujin: 1. He has an OS on CD. 2. 250gb HD is plenty, 1TB is useless. 3. He's shopping locally. 4. It's nearing school time which means deals.http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/how_build_kick-ass_gaming_rig_under_700
Unfortunately no keyboard, mouse, or monitor are included in that guide. You ask for so much from so little, RainPilot!
2. 250gb HD is plenty,
I'm never going to go over 100gb. I don't download movies or anime. IF I do, I delete them after I'm done. I don't have tons of music, and the only game I will own is BF2, BF3, and MAYBE legions. I don't buy a lot of games, if I do buy one, it's because dj told me to.Internal HDD space is REALLY CHEAP Sata III 1TB is costing me only £40

nope.jpgBut it makes sense to have more :/
I don't know what I would do without 1TB of storage. Games take up a good 10% of it and then the rest is quickly filling up with footage that I get from said games. But you won't be doing that, so you're fine.nope.jpg
Enjoy have 500gb of either unused memory or 500gb of anime and pr0n.
If I need space, I can make some.
Famry copooter. 1gb ram, integrated, 20 dollah mobo, out of date cpu, rest is stock stuff. Nothing is even worth salvaging. The ram isn't even good. it's like ddr2, but I'm pretty sure it's bad.I can't remember what you currently have for a system, would any of those parts be salvageable for your new system? (Or was it a laptop?).
Also, if you're going to have an extra $1000 by the end of summer to add to the system, you'll have a sweet system by Fall in time for all of the new PC releases (just don't spend all of that money on hamburgers!).
