Budget Gaming Build- Max $600.. Inc Monitor/Keyboard/Mouse/Speakers

novalok · Apr 17, 2013

I'm working on a build. Extreme Budget build.
I'm looking for a system that can play 1 game well. And its based off Cryengine2.
Up gradable is a must. So all the hits i hate to take to reach my price can be replaced as the money presents itself.
On the Monitor resolution of 1920x1080 is a must. Doesn't have to be Huge.
I'm currently gaming on a crappy laptop with Intel HD graphics so anything is an upgrade really..
Who's up for the challenge!

Although if you have the extra money, this would be better: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/RlYJ

Build a mini-itx pc. It may be small, but can pack a powerful system and won't cost as much.

Do you need an OS?

With no OS, here's what I came up with:

Add around $90 for a copy of Windows if you need one, and drop down to a 7750 to help cover the additional cost.

This is very upgradeable because I went with a nice motherboard, and socket AM3+ has a lot of life left in it. You can upgrade to any of the current FX processors or Steamroller when it comes out.
