I am looking to build a computer for under 300 dollars. It would only need to run world of warcraft because thats the main reason I am building one. I don't need a monitor, mouse, OS, or a keyboard.
Here's what I am thinking so far...
Case: Gaming ATX Case 17.2" x 7.8" x 17" (It comes with a 420W PSU) - 40 dollars
Motherboard: Not sure :/
Processor: AMD Athlon 64 X2 6000+ Windsor 3.0GHz 2 x 1MB L2 Cache Socket AM2 125W Dual-Core Processor - 113 dollars
A bit expensive in this budget but very cheap for the price..
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce 8500 GT 512MB video card - 36.99 (After rebate)
It would run WoW on full settings and that's all I need.
Ram: I am just looking for a 2GB (2x1GB) DDR2 for under 40 dollars, which I am sure I can find.
Hard drive: 500GB 7200RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - 79.99
I wouldn't mind downgrading this for a cheaper one, but this is a very solid hard drive for the price.
CD/DVD - RW Drive: These usually go around 20-30 dollars so no problem there
All together I want the rig to stay under 350 dollars (not including tax and shipping) because my budget isn't high for a computer.
So if you guys have any recomendations, I'd be happy to hear them. Thanks
