Hi all,
I have not kept up with any new products or any of the deals coming up for parts to a PC. I am looking to build a mid tower PC for my mother. I have 2x Radeon 5770's i can use for her gfx cards so thats where i will start. I want to future proof her PC for a while also. Budget $400-$500, lower the better though, dont have to overspend just to reach my budget if lower will work. Combo deals welcome if any found. Rebates are also welcome.
Done:
OS
one, Win 7 64bit
gfx cards: Done 2x Radeon 5770
Need:
CPU: Quad or Hex core, 100-150ish max Leaning towards AMD FX-6300(or similar)
Cooler: Any decent after market will do( I still use my Hyper 212 and love it)
Ram: 4-6gb
Mobo: Want usb 3.0, and sockets for the gfx cards.
Power supply: 750ish, something like this rosewill
Tower: nothing fancy
HDD: 1TB
Optical: 1xBlu-Ray drive, like this LG
Thanks for anyone's help. Been a while since i built mine back in 09.
