Plaayer Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 (edited) Hey guys. With Black Friday + Christmas coming up, I decided to upgrade to a whole new PC. My budget is a extremely tight because I don't have a job [i just turned 15], so this relies MOST on my parent's money. Now, my budget is <500 dollars. Also, just to get things straight, I have not asked my parents about this yet, and this is just an "if I get to do it." I have put together a build that I think is decent for the amount of money that can be for use. I don't plan on playing Crysis on the highest setting, just SC2, CSS, TF2 (might get it), League of Legends, or something of the likes. Case + Power Supply CPU(might OC) + Motherboard Hard Drive RAM Video Card I have a CD/DVD Drive already. Comments and thoughts will be appreciated. If you can make a build yourself with the about same components at a lower price, feel free to post it. If you can make one that is better for the same price, feel free to post it. I don't have any preferred brands. If I do get this new PC, I will give my current PC to my dad for his work. So, nothing can be used from this computer. Sadly. tl;dr -- I might get a new PC for <500 bucks. Help? -TehPlaayer. <3 Edited November 25, 2010 by Plaayer Changed: HDD+GPU Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

^TheRumor^ Posted November 25, 2010 Share Posted November 25, 2010 Well for starters you have a notebook HDD picked out. You would want something like this - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136073&cm_re=500gb_western_digital-_-22-136-073-_-Product Case is decent for your situation, but i would go for a corsair or antec PSU Ex: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371021&cm_re=antec_650w-_-17-371-021-_-Product CPU, Mobo and RAM look good, i would go for a more updated GPU such as http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130573&cm_re=gts_450-_-14-130-573-_-Product if you prefer Nvidia, and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102859&cm_re=hd_5750-_-14-102-859-_-Product if you prefer ATI. Hope this helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaayer Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 Woops. I didn't notice the HDD. As for the GFX cards, I will take both into consideration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
