Found a cheaper case. All you need is a dremel, a couple risers, screws, and a handful of washers.

The build looks good for that price, it sucks ass if you want to play games, and I swear I see an IDE connector on the motherboard.

May I reccomend not getting a crappy single core?

How about this?

Anyways, here is my entry.

Motherboard: Jetway JM26GT4-A-LF
AMD Phenom ii x2
ATI 5450, can run games like TF2 and Fallout 3.
RAM, 2 of these. 34 dollars total.
Gonna piggyback with the PSU here.
Hard Drive
Accessories (not needed)
Windows 7, not needed right away but eventually.
Case. I have one to use, but this one is nicer.


Still searching. It can run most modern games fairly well. Only 277 dollars without accessories.

517 with accessories.

Those are almost my exact specs lol, Just a different case, motherboard, PSU, Windows XP, and HDD.

I have a 400 watt PSU, a Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1tb, Win7 Ultimate, and not sure about my mobo.

I have a Pentium dual core processor too, just my clock speed is higher.

Reread the original post.

I read it thoroughly. I don't know what you are talking about, if you are talking about the price, it's only a measly 77 dollars more for a lot more PC.

Does it not come with a-
forget, don't OEM processors come with heatsinks?

nope, its just the processor. Thats why its called OEM.
EDIT: Also, the motherboard doesn't come with a IDE cable and I don't think your hard drive does either so....

EDIT: I don't think the heatsink is good enough, and I've only got $3 extra to spend upgrading it.

[Ethan]

Found the cheapest compatible heatsink, $10, $2 over.

Must, save, money, elsewhere. Perhaps a dual core wasn't a good idea.

If I replace hard drive with this:

I gain 280GB and lose $2. But I need to change the cable.
