Building a pc for under 600 pounds (1000 dollars)

harry18 · 09-25-2005, 03:14 PM

Hi I want to build a pc that can be used for playing games, but have a budget of 600 pounds (1000 dollars). I will need absolutely everything for this pc - case, power supply, windows xp, EVERYTHING. So if anyone has a list of a bunch of decent parts for this price that will work and are compatible together, or could put me together a list, that would be helpful. Bear in mind I need absolutely everything, excluding the monitor, and keyboard and mouse. Thanks!

well for $1000 you can get a nice computer, newegg.com has some really good parts.
I havent looked online and compared prices, but this is about what you can expect to get:

AMD64 3500+
1GB DDR400 Ram
250GB Hard Drive
550watt PSU (not stock)
nice case
dvd burner/dvd rom
6600gt 128mb
nice mobo

skidude, he said that he doesnt need a keyboard or mouse, and i wouldnt go with the corsair XMS, to expensive, id just get Corsair ValueSelect for about $109. And he said $1000, not $1300, and i doubt he needs the speakers either.

and why does it say ur 16 again skidude??
