This is a low budget rig I am getting somone to put together for me

[un4gettable47mike]

And i want to know what u think:

The most intense games i would play on it is "Age of Empires Online" and Age of Empires 3....Age of Empires Online was made in 2010 and is a newer game than age of empires 3...Would I be able to play these games full quality with no lag for sure u think? And what do u think of this set-up altogether for a low budget...Would u change anything IE...(CPU/GPU/Mobo), but not for some ridiculous price, for around same price as the others on newegg.ca

4GB DDR3 RAM (new)

1 LG DVD Player (new)

I'd go with a new PSU that's all, if it's cheap... And used... It could fry everything if it's in bad shape

The ECS A55F-M2 Motherboard is FM1 socket which is not compatible with the Athlon II X4 645.

I also noticed you said newegg.ca so I'm going to assume you're from Canada. You should really check out other places like Memory Express, NCIX, and others for parts.

I suggest you pick up one of these with a cheap AM3 or AM3+ socket motherboard.

I agree with what Xxsjxx1 said. Don't get some used cheap generic power supply as it could fry everything else in your system with it.

Make sure you test out that pre-owned hard drive for errors.


If you fill out the form outlined here I'm sure somebody or myself could help you come up with a much more efficient build for your money.

Edit: You could also step up from the 5570 to a 5670 for the same price

Do you really need Ultimate? Home should work.

For first just say how much money you wanna digg in?

You can probably make better use of that budget. Ditch the Athlon and get a Pentium. Offers better value. Check the blog in my sig. There's a $400 budget build that might suit you.

here's a rig i do for myself if i were you...

CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819106001&Tpk=amd%20a8%203870k

Motherboard:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128517

RAM: AMD Performance Edition 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model AP38G1608U2K

CPU COOLER:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099

then you overclock the cpu to 3.6 and the graphics core to 900ish and you should be fine
