1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
The PC will be for gaming and what your average computer user will do.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
The budget is 500 dollars, tax and shipping is not included.
3) Where do you live?
Massachusetts
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. Please be very specific.
The parts needed are the RAM, CPU, MB, HDD, Monitor, VGA, and PSU.
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Already have the case, Windows Vista, and DVD drive.
6) Will you be overclocking?
No.
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have?
The monitor should be around 20-22 inches.
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
With in the coming weeks
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? etc.
I do not believe there is any need for extra stuff. Only need the essentials.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license?
Yes
The above computer is for my cousin. I am going to help him build him a new computer. He is going to be coming from a laptop w/ a low end C2D, and some crappy IGP. It cannot play any modern games anymore, so it will be a nice step up for him.
He was hoping to get a monitor around 22 inches in size. I managed to squeeze in one build, but I do not really know good budget components for a build like this. I was hoping to hook him up with at least a E5200 and a 4830 level video card. If needed I think a 9600 GT could do him good as well. The highest end game I can see him playing is Empire Total War. He isn't a graphics whore either.
Thanks in advance for the help!
