Okay, so I have some spare parts from previous builds and looking for recommendations on cheap parts to finish what I need. Just want it to get functioning and will probably sell it once complete, but looking to spend as little as possible to build it.
What I have:
Intel i3 3220 CPU (I need a cooler for it)
Sapphire Radeon 7750 GPU
DVD-RW Drive
500 GB 3.5" HDD (I also have a 2.5" 250GB HDD)
4GB (1x4) DRR3 SO-DIMM (Laptop RAM)
So since I have the laptop RAM, I was trying to find a mini-ITX board that would accept laptop memory and also had a PCI Express slot for the GPU. I have found a few that accept the SO-DIMM, but they don't have PCI Express. Should I forgo that idea and just plan on getting new RAM, or should I saw screw the GPU and build it without it? Just looking for ideas for a fun project without breaking the bank. Thanks!
