I need your help building my pc =D

[BostonRedSox7769]

You all talked me into it. so now I need your help.

I need to build a computer for...

World of Warcraft
Counter Strike
Internet
Basic Programs.

If anyone could put a list of parts together it would be fantastic.

I'm looking for atleast 1gb of ram and a decent video card.

Budget is: +-$400

 

[jamestheg]

do you have a monitor already? do you need a mouse, speakers? want intel or amd? dual core?

 

[Styrak]

You won't get a very good gaming computer for $400. It might be able to RUN those programs, but not well.

And thats what he wants, to be able to run them. It will at least be better then his old Dell.

Now is that CS 1.6, or CS:S

Should choose a SATA HDD.
Western Digital Caviar SE WD800JD 80GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM
Or a bigger HD may needed
Western Digital Caviar SE16 WD2500KS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM
Find a MB support more 4 channel of RAM. And SATA @ 3.0Gb/s
Foxconn MCP61VM2MA-RS2H Socket AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail $59.99

May probably need a DVD-RW.
LITE-ON 18X DVD±R DVD Burner With 12X DVD-RAM Write Black IDE Model LH-18A1P-185 - OEM

PSU: XClio 450BL ATX 450W Power Supply - Retail

I personally will choose EVGA 256-P2-N541-T2 GeForce 7600GS 256MB GDDR2 PCI Express x16 Video Card - Retail
Simliar performance with ATIX1650Pro, but just $69.99, buy b4 31/03 after mail-in rebate.

RAM:A-DATA 2x512MB DDR2 800 RAM

CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 3600+, because not enough budget. But AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ Windsor 2.0GHz Socket AM2 Processor is a better choice

Then it come up to $398.94 without case and OS.
In my opinion, if one don't have much budget, he could buy a cheaper case, although someone would fancy a nice case.

[salman]

someone wrote in the comments that it comes with a free windows vista upgrade

If you need a operating system, you might want to wait until I'd say you get about 600$ if you want a computer that will run the games well. Just the OS is 70$ so you are left with 330 for a computer where you want to play games... you need at least 500 +.
