Gift cards/Misc: @64K $50 Amazon Gift card , @infrared $50 Newegg.com Gift Card

once i get tracking #'s i add the names to the list..

I am trying my damnedest to build a Gaming/Media PC for My nephew. Normally I would just buy the parts new from some online retailer, and be done with it, but I am struggling to make this "work" financially. So , I find Myself looking for used items here. I only need it to be a simple PC, My thinking is as follows.....

An i3 , with Hyperthreading, a.k.a, 4160, 4170, 6100, etc.....
A compatible MoBo, of decent quality, i.e. an Asrock H97ProM (brand isnt important) , etc...
These 2 components are Really where my concentrations lies. If required I will cannibalize My PC for him...I rather He have a PC, than Myself.

there are other items required, Windows 7/8/10, whatever, RAM, but the above is most important..

If You have either of the above, or something comparable, or an alternative that You might be able to offer, @ a good price, please PM me....Budget is VERY low sadly.

thanks for reading,

I'll dig around and see what I have for ya brother!

The Windows key I can get for ya. Probably have a decent video card but will have to see what I still have.

Motherboard and chip I know I don't currently have available but I can probably find a decent combo on the cheap side.

I've also got a Western Digital Scorpio Black 250 gig 2.5" that I can send ya.


Let me figure out what all I have available and I'll get with ya for your address man.


Oh yea, did I fail to mention that the hard drive, video card, and Windows key would be free? :p:toast:

That's extremely gracious of you I really really really appreciate it. I can offer some money but as my post says not too too much at least not right away

i am saving up for the Chip , since Worst case scenario, ill need to order from Newegg, Amazon or the like.....but ANY help with the other will Certainly defer the burden.

You just don't worry about it, brother! We have all been in financial problems before.

I'm assuming that several of the community members will be jumping in here and offering up items.

You have helped many members out and now it's your turn. :peace:

Gotcha, OK. depending on how much you can scrape together there's builds out there for gaming for $400 or so. Any ideas on what games you'd like this setup to play? Depending on that we may be able to zero in more on what components to pare down and which ones to "splurge" on.

@Slizzo
id Say a minimum of a modern Dual core, preferably a HT'd dual core like an i3, etc...
thats basically the only "Must" , after that, i think we all have a good idea of the "musts" of the Gaming level GPU,and other components etc...

he plays modern AAA titles , like GTA5, C.O.D, BF's , etc

I was planning on doing something for the Kreij Holiday Build this year but I'm not sure if that is going to happen so this looks like a good project instead. You can put me down for 8 GB DDR4. I just need time to order it and mail it to you. I will cover the costs.

Well, GTA5 is an easy one, it's pretty tough on any system. :) I don't think it will "require" a quad core though.

Battlefield is notorious for liking/wanting a quad core.

Skyrim should be fine

EDIT: I have an old GTX 470 that I do not need anymore, however that may not be enough GPU horsepower now-a-days.

EDIT 2 : Also, depending on where you are in Mass I can meet you to chuck it your way. (Edit 2.5: I live in central CT)

I can offer a few things like a Sandy i3 2100 or an HD 7770. Little bit older hardware, not sure what you have your heart set on, but I could do a nice deal for you ;)

If someone could give me some shipping advice I have an MSI Twin Frozr II 6950 that overclocks pretty well I could donate if that would work for you. Not quite sure how well the 6xxx series does with modern games though.

Jboyd I have 8GBs of DDR3 that you can have, and probably more if needed. Also Skyrim should play nicely with a HT'ed dual core not too sure about GTA5.
I can help with storage as well.
HD6950 should work for awhile anyways. I just finished a similar build and the only gpu I had to give was a 6870 2GB and it seems to handle most modern games really well, I was impressed.

Just a good morning update bump for you all....

I found. A $20 Newegg.com gift card in my email that we can use towards purchasing something for this build ,,,& I also found $24 on one of my Amazon.com account balance's

Sucks that they're split up, but it will definitely help.

So far the only game I know for sure that requires a Quad-core is Far cry 4. It refuses to start with only a dual-core. And in actuality, it just needs 4-threads, not real cores. So it runs fine on an i3, but not a pentium. There is an unofficial patch to get it working on dual-core processors, but it runs like crap in my experience with it.

So far the only game I know for sure that requires a Quad-core is Far cry 4. It refuses to start with only a dual-core. And in actuality, it just needs 4-threads, not real cores. So it runs fine on an i3, but not a pentium. There is an unofficial patch to get it working on dual-core processors, but it runs like crap in my experience with it.

yeah that was my thinking...
I was asking because I had been offered a G3258, but it Looks liek I may not be able to use it for this build (one of Colby's favorite games is FarCry :) )....I looked into GTA5, and the video's i saw didnt show great Dual core results...But Your right, an i3 will suffice, I have been shooting for one this whole time, like a 4160, or similar.

What's left for this build?

quite a bit still.

I have been offered a few item, , but havent taken delivery of anything.

Im taking delivery of a GPU that might work, its a 570...but i still as of now require a CPU, MoBo, Ram, and it turns out My PSU is Dead :(.

I have gotten an offer for $50 of Gift card to buy a HDD, or whatever is needed.

I have a Case.
I will be getting RAM
I have a GPU, but id like to get something with more HP if possible..(he is gonna be playing AAA games in 1080p, so nothing ridiculous, but capable)
the rest is needed

to sum it up...i need
Motherboard
GPU
Storage

Heres what i have been offered, i wont post the names of those who offered since i dont have all theyre permission, and i dont want to take liberty with theyre names...

HD6870
HD6950 (6970 flashed)
GTX570
intel G3258 pentium
a Sandy bridge 1155 i3 2100
2x4Gb's RAM
$50 Gift card

the G3258 and 570 are on theyre way to me currently

I have a CX500 PSU that I got as a replacement from Amazon.ca which I ended up not using. (I went for FSP HydraG instead in the end.)

It was el-cheapo PSU and you can have it for free as long as you pay for shipping. The thing is that shipping that thing would cost 20 USD for a trackable shipping option and I don't feel it's worth spending 20 bucks for it.

If it's all right with you what I'll do is see if another option presents itself or if I can possibly dry the one that I have out and get it working , but if not ...if I can contact you later down the road that would be cool, if that's all right with you
