built mine for 500, works pretty good

Built mine for $900 and it's pretty awesome. What parts do you really need? $600 can get you a nice mobo/proc and vidja card if you can salvage the rest off your current rig, if not you will have to shell out for the necessaries.

i can probably come up with another hundred, but i dont need a ton of top of the line stuff, i dont need more then a 500 gig HDD, can make do with 6gigs of ram, i want a nice fan and case tho because i have an issue with heat in this aptmnt

The Coolermaster HAF932 case I have is awesome in terms of cooling and airflow, but it is a full tower and the price is a little steep for a $600 build
Here's their midsize version, which should still have plenty of room, ventilation, and fans for whatever you want to stuff in it.

easy
you can build a tower for about 500 that will run most newer games well
also, the HAF 922 is totally worth it

get a 4850 or something
i've seen GPU chipsets integrated into motherboards that have a decent amount of power in them as well

like ive said in the past, im fairly computer illiterate/new to computers, what kinds of mobos are compatable with 4850s
03-10-2010, 05:56 AM
I can attest that the mobo and gpu in that image go well together.
I'm quite sure that most mobos will accommodate most graphics cards though.

i've always heard modular cabling is a lot less efficient, but damn does that look good

also yes
PCI-E 2.0 is the standard for graphics cards right now
if your mobo doesn't have it your doin it rong

It comes with plenty of good looking, labeled cables... Though they are a bit thick. The molex connector cable is a pain to deal with though. Organized appearance courtesy of a large case, ample twist ties, and brute force.

quick question, if i put this together myself will i have to solder anything?
