[kyouryu]

Approximate Purchase Date: Probably a few months from now

Budget Range: (~$500) After Rebates

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Games.

Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS, Cooler Master 500W Power supply

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com Wishlist here.

Country: They would be assembled at mah house in the US.

Parts Preferences: I honestly don't care about brand, as long as I can recognize it and it's stable.

Overclocking: My computer as of now is crap, I will be fully satisfied not overclocking.

SLI or Crossfire: No

Monitor Resolution: 1280x1024

Additional Comments: Stability, Stability, Stability. I plan on making the money before I actually purchase, I would like suggestions on parts that could go better together than these for more stability. Power of course is very much wanted, and I don't absolutely need a case or the hard drive, But I've had my case for several years and it looks like it; I've been drooling over the scout for a while. I can drop the hd if need be. Thanks!

Save meeeee

However, if you get from Microcenter, I can build a much better rig with an i5, 6850 and 8GB of RAM for the same price. If you decide to go Microcenter I will gladly cook up something.

Thanks for the reply! Well honestly I don't really care where it comes from as long as it works, newegg is just well known and usually reliable haha.

Right now i've only got 2gb of ram and it's finally dying after almost 5 years, most of my computer is that old; my video card nvidia gtx 9600 is only about 2 years old hasn't had a fan for a year. etc. So I would like to get some ram up in this, haha, That's the big thing that's been holding my computer back so long, and now that I need new ram I thought I'd just get a whole other computer. Can't do much with a 3.2ghz processor when you've only got 2gb ddr2 ram.

Does microcenter deliver? Because I've never heard of it before earlier today and I was unsure if it was an outlet store or something because I probably wouldn't be able to pick anything up.

That, I think, looks better ultra619, But I would rather drop the hdd and get a better mobo and ram, I'm looking for 8gb and it'd be better if it were a more mainstream brand of ram; as I said before, I'm looking for stability.

 

[ultra619]

4 gb is more than enough for gameing, you wont even use the 8gb 99 percent of the time.

 

[kyouryu]

less stress, last longers, I've had 2gb ram for an eternity and there's so much I can't do because of it.
