Hi there, im new to pc builds and could use a techies opinion. I have these components and need help to complete my build for a moderate gaming machine for my son, he play starwars one republic along with war craft and counter strike from steam.

So far we have..

1TB hard drive with Win7 64bit

4g ddr3 ram

sapphire hd5670 gddr5

i have a dell dimension 5000 pc tower case to put it all in.

so i need a power supply ,motherboard and cpu. Iv seen some cheap Q6600 for socket 775 but would this be sufficient? to be blunt if someone could just pick out a cpu and mother board and a power supply that would be good for the games listed id be very very grateful. OR maybe some better advice in what to do of course. Thanks !!! edit, budget is as 1cheap as possible

Hey,

I know you said you would like to keep it as cheap as possible, but do you have any approximate figure on how much you would like to spend on the CPU, Motherboard and PSU combined?

i dont mind using second hand parts as i buy with paypal i can just get a refund if any problems

Hey,

After a little look around, I found a used 3rd generation i5. Being a true quad core will benefit in a lot of applications. A cheap used motherboard to go with and a 430W PSU from EVGA.

Thats a great find on the i5 wow! The motherboard doesnt support pci express though mate. would like to have the option to upgrade my graphics in the future.

richiejodee :

Here is a motherboard that will support PCI E 3.0 16x with the i5, costs about a tenner more: http://ebay.eu/2oOZ2f6

Also in the future, if you do decide to upgrade more and more starting with the GPU. You may find that you want to get another 4GB stick of ram to take total up to 8GB.

Also, you mentioned a graphics card update, do you have any idea what to, as I may need to choose out a slightly higher Wattage PSU.

Benab3 :

hey thanks so much for the help iv ordered the i5 and the board you recommended. Im unsure what graphics card i would upgrade to really i just wanted that option incase the old hd5670 didnt do what i want it to lol. im open to ideas though. im abit worried if my 350w atx power supply will fit my new board? il go get the model number and check

The graphics card choice would be down to your budget. If you are planning to upgrade the Graphics card in the future, I would get a 500W PSU.
Something like this would be good: https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/product/XCjG3C/evga-power-supply-100w10500kr
As long as your current powersupply has a 24 pin power and a 4 pin power, it will be okay.
