If you had $700.. - Shauna - 07-20-2009
and wanted to create a new gaming computer, what would you purchase in terms of parts? I've always purchased retail computers and added a video card or ram upgrades but never built my own and I've been informed that there is much $$ to save (or put towards a better machine). I'm open to any suggestions or build orders if someone recently purchased a good selection of parts.
By the way hi this is my first post. And no, I'm not a girl, this forum account is based off my char's name from Planetside, since they tend to hover these boards. Thanks in advance for any builds/advice!

I would buy one from a pretty damn good comp builder, probably someone named something like Blues.
Hey my name is similar to Blues.
Hi there, I build computers.
Now that I'm done with my obligatory plug, I'll put together a list later on when I'm not busy trying to see straight. TALLY HO

Here are some previous threads with similar budgets in mind. Things have probably changed a little since some of them were posted, but they should help give you a good idea of what to look for.

Jesus those are old. I haven't really kept up with computers since I can't afford the temptation, but $700 should buy you a good system, hit Blues up for a free consult

How do you go about making a list without asking if the person already has a monitor or OS they want to use?

because they are posting from a computer and hence already have the monitor.
Oh, and OS's are cheap, usually free 99

You do not want to use W7 as your main OS tho, esp if you don't know anything about computers (I already know half a dozen idiots that lost a bunch of data formatting because they're too stupid/lazy to understand partitions)
