building a computer

[Klowez]

Ok, so i'm looking at building my first computer. I'm trying to keep it coast low, like around $500. I want to use it for gaming (WarRock mainly), but i also need it for other stuff, like coding which i like to multi task when doing. I already have a case picked out, but that is about it.

Well, if you want too keep the cost that low, I have one advice. Only look at Free Shipping items.

Look a little at AMD CPUs as they are much cheaper than Intel.

As for the RAM, hhis memory might suit your needs perfectly, while still very cheap.

As for the video card, have a look at Nvidia 9600gt.

Harddrives and motherboards are really not my strong side (not that any other area is) but look around a little and just make sure that everything is compatible with eachother.

Hope this helps a tad...
