So as all of you know my brother's b-day is coming on the 20th I would like to either buy or build him a computer fro around $500 USD (my parents wont let me spend more ) so yeah anyone want to do a custom build for me? from Newegg if I have to buy parts or from anywhere else if I have to customize it Thanks -Zain
Hm...without a monitor speakers headset mouse and keyboard Just the system :lol: i got the rest already -Zain
don't you say that about 2k budgets too? though assuming no-oc then yeh you're entirely correct Ax2 5000+ cheapest board you can find 2GB cheepo RAM ~$60 x1950pro 250GB harddrive cheap case(cooler master centurion works well) some PSU(i'd have to check) and that's around $500 USD implies united states dollars, so I'm assuming he's in th US if you're up to OCing swap in a pentium dual core(NOT a pentium d FYI) and a 965 board

Thanks Guys Xelink...can you double check that I get everything that I want Btw...it would be nice if I could get a dual core 2 around 2.6 ghz or somewhere there... But just wondering I would like everything to come under 500 or around 500 bucks and yes I am in USD ooh...and by saying everything I mean that like the case...fan...except for mouse, keyboard, monitor because I already got those Just want a system that works fast and well for performance...also can play some of the latest games.. THanks again Zain
Uh yea im thinking thathe needs about $1500 more for those.. But i love this one... http://www.alienware.com/product_pages/not...ll_default.aspx (the first one, black, $2000) Anyways, back to the topic. I like xlink's build. Looks good for $500.
yeh I'll look into getting links here's a good card for the cash, out of stock but ETA is in 3 days http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814102034 $20 off discount code MC907VGA11 ax2 5k+ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819103780 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16813138059 if your willing to deal with a mail in rebate, this would be THE memory to get(for the cost. has micron d9 ICs and should OC like a champ if that's yout thing. UNDER warranty might I add. DDR2-800 3-3-3 2T or DDR2-800 4-4-4 1T is within reach) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820146565 also one more thing, don't listen to Ohm's law Jr. When it comes to PSUs, if you plan on keeping the system long term. here's my recommendation for PSU given your budget http://www.ewiz.com/detail.php?name=PS-E5140GH review http://jonnyguru.com/review_details.php?id=24 it's an OEM part but stil carries a warranty. it's a server grade PSU and shoudl power your system just fine(a comparable PSU powers my rig and I likely draw 50% more power than yours would) harddrive http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16822148262 case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16811119094 let me know if it's over, also i left out the burner I'm lazy, they're 30-35$ go SATA, NOT IDE I think it IS over without the rebates, but it's probably just under with them. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16827106040 EDIT: it's around 540-560 after rebates+shipping. let me do some pruning when I get a chance. also consider borrowing a burner from another system as that would put it within the price bracket you're looking for.
Thanks Xelink...I will see if I can get the burner off some other system at school's lab or somewhere btw you left out the processor... Thanks again though Also I will be building another computer with my friend (his money) for him..haha So I will contact you for that next time he says he wants to do it Thanks -Zain
