So, my friend who knows nothing about computers wants to play starcraft II.
He has asked me to build him something, and gave me the very low budget of 300$ with a little wiggle room.
Side notes:
I am giving him a nice AM2+ Heatsink (A Triton)
I am also giving him, for now at least, two 2600xt 512mb ddr3 sapphire vid cards.
The build obviously needs to support crossfire and I want to make it the most future proof as possible for him so upgrades will be easy once he has the money.
The Build:
LITE-ON Black 24X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 24X ...
APEX Vortex 3620 SGCC / ABS ATX Mid Tower Gaming C...
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST3500418AS 500GB 7200 R...
JetWay JHA07-ULTRA-LF AM2+/AM2 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX ...
LOGISYS Computer PS575XBK 575W ATX12V SLI Ready ...
G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600...
AMD Athlon II X2 240 Regor 2.8GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache...
Its basically a AM3 790GX, Athlon II x2 240 with 2GB DDR3 1600 and a 500gb 7200rpm HD.
Then all the peripherals (case, cd/dvd burner, psu..)
The total came to 334.15$
If you think you could build it better for the price then by all means send me the list!! or if you have any parts that would work that you will sell for less let me know.
Also, I have NO IDEA what monitor he is going to use, still working on that.
