How to Build a Kick-ass $800 Gaming PC

Posted 04/08/2009 at 08:54:00am

I didn't have 800 bucks kickin around....

Case- (Broadway w/550w PSU  39.99).....Mobo- (Asus M2N68-AMSE2+ 49.99)....Proc-  (AMD64X25800+  58.99).....RAM-  (Corsair 4gig DDR2800  19.99)....HSF- (Thermaltake TR2-R1  19.99).....Video  (ATI HD3850  59.99)......HDD (Seagate 500gig  54.99).....CD/DVD  (Lite-On 22x sata  24.99)

All this adds up to 323.92.....now thats a gamer on a budget..

Also, i added and ACER 22" LCD....169.99,  so i spent less than 500 on a COMPLETE machine that runs ANY game out right now....Crysis, COD5, Stalker, granted it won't run em all on high settings but very acceptable framerates......also slightly OC'ed system to 3.4ghz with air cooling....for all u peeps who want a score for this system....stock 3DMark06 score= 8712,  OC'ed score=11487.....this is a GREAT price-point...

Peace Out......
