Ok, so my friend's only shitty Dell is finally dieing, so he's pretty dead set on buying a new, inexpensive comp. This is the latest version of the list, just posting it to double check with you fine people.

Uses: typing, videos, music, internet, gaming

Not Required: Keyboard, mouse, speakers, monitor, OS, HDD

Buying from: Newegg

Preferred: AMD

Date: Hopefully tonight

Budget: ~300

CPU/MOBO: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Comb [...] mbo.263449

GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814121320

RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820145184

CASE/PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6811148046

Please note: The GPU on the list isn't the exact one he will be using, just the closest one I could find on newegg for reference. It is my old card from the HP I was using prior to building my own comp. There are probly better cards for the money, but that one will have to do.

Regards,

1st Duke.

Power supply does not have a pcie power connector for a graphics card. Better make sure your GPU doesnt need it.

it will cost you $11 more now but it wont blow up and nuke the system.

Haha, thanks for the warning. I didn't even think about the brand, just that it was a 480W PSU with a case for dirt cheap. Any other qualms, or is this build about as good as it gets for the price?

You mean other than not trusting ECS motherboards?

$10 more for a Gigabyte motherboard.

Ok, changed that. Anything else, or is this build good to go?
