Hey guys !! I'm new to this forum and i need some advice..:)
i need a new pc very urgently and i'm going to attempt my first build. My budget is $200.00... I am going to buy my parts on ebay... Im going 2 use it for gaming and surfing the web ...
Please help!! I don't want links.. Just hardware suggestions , a whole build please. Any help appreciated! :)
 
From my experience, ebay rarely beats newegg.com prices on new parts.

$200 is a bit low of a budget. Even cheap prebuilts cost more than that, and ebay wont likely beat those prices either.

Look at the recommended builds by usage sticky for parts ideas.

Right now it's impossible to build a $200 "gaming" PC. Memory prices being high is a major factor. You're better off buying used components from for sale forums and build one that way.

This is the cheapest I could do. Some of these are deals that may only be good for a few days.

If you want better graphics, upgrading to a new HD 5750 graphics card ($140) is 3-4 times as fast and would let you play at very high settings on the monitor I picked.
