Hey guys

Looking to built a faster gaming rig for around $500. Most parts will be from my existing system. I want to see wht i can pick up before going to get new parts.

So far this is what i need:
CPU $200 max
X2 (am2 socket only) 5000+ and higher
or
Core 2 Duo E6300 and higher (waiting for price drop)

Motherboard.$75 max
Asrock/ asus/abit. Something good. No ecs. Has to support CPU's listed above. Must allow overclocking.
Im only using a 450w psu so no sli (it can be but no point in having it)

RAM $120 max.
Looking for atleast 2 gigs. "Performance" ram not "value" ram ( ocz etc)

Video card $200 max
7900Gt/x, 7950gt,(gx2?) , x1900 (any model). 8 series cards.
256-512mb

Maybe a sound card.
X-fi quality range ,just offer.

Shipping will be to Canada. Paypal preffered, might do MO if nessesery.
You must have lots of posts or a paypal verified account with numerous transaction.

To be honest, by limiting your choice of "performance" ram to 120 your not getting performance ram you're getting value ram. Any good performance ram is going to be 150+, same goes for mobos, you are going to hate your mobo if you spend 75 bucks on it. If i was you I'd look at the guy below you whose selling an e4300, mobo, 2 gigs of ram, and a nice aftermarket cooler for 450..that's a steal. Plus you can buy an 8600gt for about 180 200ish and see a decent improvement.

How so?
XMS2 sell for 117 on new egg
OCZ Platinum sell for 113 after rebate.
+ the item being used deducts another 25-30% right
So 120 is a good limit price for ram. (even if you don't count the rebate its still in my price range)

Asus M2N-E motherboards i've seen go for about $75 on ebay. It's not the best but i don't think i'll hate it.

I don't think Badnatured has looked at RAM prices lately. Nice overclocking DDR2 800 (2GB kit) is around $130 or less as of late.

RAM FIGHT! Maybe he thought hmm...1GB of ram isn't enough?

Reply to JonnyDough

I'd consider performance ram DDr800 or higher, the good tuff is 150 at a minimum. Additionally, 30% for being used seems like a HUGE loss. I'd say 15% is more in line. Regardless, I'd still say the guy selling the components for 450 is a good del.

k,thread is getting clogged up. Post parts only pls.

I got a 5 month old 6300 I would be interested in selling. Thinking about going up to a 6600. Its perfectly stable and has never been over clocked as its running on a standard intel G965 board. It would include the stock hsf, original box, and packaging.
