$400 Budget Computer! Need your Help!

[mwahsun]

ok guys, i need some help again. friend has $400, has OS, has monitor and was wondering if he can get a decent computer that can handle games such as CS, WoW with the price of $400. It must be $400, including shipping and tax, no mail-in rebate price. We would understand like up to $420 but nothing higher! Please once again, help me out with a build. Thanks!

American or Canadian funds i could help you out right now..

 

[venividivici]

I am going to assume he is looking for American funds seeing as that was what the other thread he posted was in for a build he was doing for his brother.

Interesting thing to me is I know a couple WoW guildies were talking about $400 computers yesterday. Do you have to play on Burning Blade mwahsun?

Still gotta account for input devices and OS. I don't really know how to make an all inclusive comp for 400..I think that'd be a fun challenge. Def. some OC'ing in order.

If you dont need the HD and OS your in luck....the software alone will cost more bucks than hardware! I just built a system for just under 300 bucks! of course with no OS and HD.

 

[holdenssx]

I put this together real quick so I might be missing something or I don't know.

Its like 387 after shipping

 

[mwahsun]

where is the power supply lawl!

 

[chupacabra]

where is the power supply lawl!

Look at the description of the case lawl

 

[LE0O37]

No No No, those settups are nice, but the RAM is not.

You definetly have to go with 2 x 1 GB sticks.
and might as well spend $15 more and get a nicer case.
I'll brb w/ a settup
peace

It certainly is a small world afterall eh, lol. I am going to assume you are either Whitby, Courtice or Bowmanville. Unless of course you live in North Oshawa. I currently live just around the corner from the Oshawa Centre. Park/Gibb or Stevenson/Gibb to be a bit more specific.

The aforementioned setups are not bad, however they are not going to be amazing, however when WoW was first launched I was playing it on a P3 800MHz, 256MB ram, and an ATI 9600 256MB video card with a dialup connection, lol. It got me by to say the least.

I imagine anything listed must be better then what your friend already has.
