So, I'm trying to create a Build that will be a gaming rig. The only problem is, I have a budget of $800 AFTER tax and S/H. So far, this is what i have come up with....
1. $94.99 Case RAIDMAX Smilodon Extreme ATX-612WEBP Black SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 500W Power Supply - Retail
6. 59.99 Hard Drive
Western Digital Caviar RE2 WD1601ABYS 160GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM
--------------
Now First, I don't know jack about Todays technology. I used to build computers for friends about 6 years ago, but havn't in a long while and am out of the loop with the new technologys. I have no idea if this setup is even viable. (Does it need cooling? Do they work together? am I missing something?)
Dont' need optical drive/mouse/monitor/keyboard/soundcard. Just the major parts listed.
I probably won't be doing any overclocking, unless it's extremely simple, and I don't have to worry about it breaking down because of it. The computer will be used for about 1-2 years before i purchase a newer/better one.
