So going to put a pc together with stuff I have sitting around, traded for or buying. Can't really trade anythign out, just getting some ideas.

Cpu: E5200- $36 from buy.com ( had gift card)
GPU: Visiontek 4870 512mb- already own
Mobo- EP43-Ud3L- traded for
Case- Antec 300 or 900- already own both
RAM- Corsair 4gb 2x2gb Twinx- $20AR egg
HD- WD6400aaks- already own
PSU- corsair 450vx already own

Onlything I'm undecide don is a monitor. Somethign good and super cheap. Prob get soemthing off CL

Only thing is, I have to find a cheap low wat PSU for my gf's comp since when i put the above corsair 450 into it i misplaced the old one.

So what's this one for? another spare? Didn't you breakup your other spare and sell everything? One more time? :p

What're your GF's comp's specs?

The last was for HTPC, split it cause i needed the money more :(
This one is for gaming, pretty much Everquest box

Its an ACer from BB:
Amd athlon 64 x2 3600+
random mobo
8600gt ( needs no pci-e power)
wd3200aaks
4gb g.skill
random dvd drive

Hoping to go super cheap on the PSU as the system doesnt need much + i dont want to spend them money :p
 
Pickup a $40 FSP 400W or similar... it'll run that thing fine.
 
While you are at microcenter pickup an Antec Earthwatts 380w PSU ~$55
And why not just get the ram while you are there. ~20AR
 
ima get a fsp 350w from egg??
Getting that same ram from egg for same price. i trust egg if something happens to rebate.
 
Grabbed a 20" Acer from BB for the gf, and I'll take her ole 17" 150 for it, but i had a good sized card as well :)

Looking @ $270 spent today + everythign i already have.

Good system for the money :)

I always did like random parts builds :)

@ enginurd
Planning on replacing that Q6600 of yours with the Q8200? :)
 
Fry's has the TP3 430W for $30, btw. ;)

Nah, gonna upgrade my sister's E7200. Then I'll probably sell the E7200, since I have an E7300 sitting on my desk from the last Fry's combo after Christmas, lol. Been too busy to play with my toys lately. :(

Ahh. Darn. I was hoping that you were selling the Q6600. I kind of want one right now.

Ahh well. That's pretty cool that you're upgrading your sis' PC to a quad-core :) But sad to hear that you haven't been able to play with your toys :eek:
