1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Gaming, Mostly old games (steam stuff, Day of Defeat, Age of Empires 3 etc... However will be looking at some newer games here relatively soon so I want it to handle some newer ones at decent frame rates and what not. (Crysis Warhead, COD 6, etc...)
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
$400, no, however if yes then great!
3) Where do you live?
95834
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. Please be very specific.
CPU, RAM, MOBO, CASE, PSU, GPU, HD, DVD
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Monitor, Mouse, Keyboard
6) Will you be overclocking?
Possible if its available
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
Does not matter
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
Within the month
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? etc.
Works, Handles at least 4GB RAM and 2 SATA ports for HD and DVD
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license?
Yes
Ive got some ideas but I can't get it closer than 450 before tax and shipping...
I prefer Intel for the CPU, and GPU doesn't matter best bang for the buck I suppose.
I'm not up to date on low budget PCs... I can spec a 800+ machine relatively easily with what knowledge I have...
Either way this computer is for a friend of mine and I'm thinking of talking him up to $500 bucks but lets aim for the $400 mark...
