EDIT: This thread is currently obsolete. Will update some day...
So there's always a bunch of new members coming on here to ask for a budget build help, and I think there should be a guide to help these people. So I'm going to start it off. Feel free to help me out here to create more diverse builds. Also, be sure to include in the build a copy of Windows 10 and a dvd writer when you create a parts list. (Now optional, since no one really wants to include it for w/e the reason. I'll put a ** on the ones that don't include it)
Goal of this guide
The goal to this guide is to provide people who are new or relatively new to building computers with an idea what components you can get with the budget they have. Feel free to modify any of the builds listed below to suit your needs and as necessary due to price changes.
Disclaimer
