Hello,

I have a $750.00 budget and wanted to get some ideas from you guys on sowm good ideas to get the most out of my money for that amount, This does not include a Monitor.

basiclly, nothing crazy but would like to be able to handle gaming, like COD 4, TF2 etc. I have built many before. but have been out of the loop for a little bit

Thanks
 
$750 for a complete build from scratch? O/S included? It can be done. If this does not include a monitor, do you already have a monitor? What resolution do you expect to be gaming at? The $750 budget includes shipping cost also?
 
Need some questions answered:

For those who are overwhelmed by the variety of choices out there, or are too lazy to do some research first:

If you post a thread asking for help in building your rig, the following are some of the questions you should answer -- or will have to answer -- before you get any help from us.

  • What is your budget? Are shipping and/or taxes included within that budget?
  • Where do you live? Where are you (planning on) buying everything at?
  • Which components do you need to get? Which components do you already have? Which components are you going to reuse (from older builds)?
  • What are you going to use your computer for? Which games/programs are you going to use?
  • Do you plan on overclocking? Are you going to use water (or some other form of "exotic") cooling?
  • Which monitor are you using? What resolution do you use? Are you using multiple monitors? Do you plan on buying a new/multiple monitor(s) any time soon?
  • Which features do you want on the motherboard?
  • How long do you want this system to last? Are you (planning on) making any incremental upgrades during that time?
Again, be as specific AND as brief as possible.

yeh valid points should of been more specific

ok This does not include monitor, But the monitor he does get will be around 22"

Shipping taxes are included in the 750 budget

This is in the US. will be buying most stuff online, newegg, clubit, etc

need all components, Case, mobo, cpu, ram, HD, video card, keyboard, mouse, PSU etc.

don't plan on overclocking

Mobo features should support at least 4gb ram, and can be upgraded for a while

would like it to last for 2-3 years, 9 yeh i know in today's age it's a stretch but will be upgraded periodically.
