i need to build a gaming comp for $650 gaming comp.
i need a monitor, keyboard, mouse. no speakers or windows.
this is for a freind, he mainly plays rts.
 
$650 is a bit of stretch for a gaming rig, especially since he needs a monitor as well in addition to the PC itself. But I do like challenges :)

But before I can help, answer these questions:
- What exact parts does he need for that $650 budget?
- Is tax and shipping included in that budget?
 
no tax
he needs a full new comp. i kno 650 aint much but thats all hes got, and it doesnt have to be that great like max settings, just playable.

With that HD 3850, he can play almost anything. I don't know where to cut the cost anymore without affecting the performance much.
 
If he can find $20 more...

$170 - Acer AL1916WAbd Black 19" 5ms DVI Widescreen LCD
 
With such a low budget you should also stick to intel e2140, and the gigabyte ds3L. The asus p5k-se is cheap also.

Try to get the hd3850 though. It plays everything, and is cool, and quiet.
