Well what are you looking for? You said you don't need a GPU or proccessor. Those are the 2 hardest parts to look for. The rest is super easy. Just get a compatible motherboard and case and get 4-8gb of ram. Also why would you think someone would respond already? Most posts you will have a reply within an hour. You didn't even wait thirty minutes. Have some patients.

I built this as cheap as possible. You should have some room to spare if you decide to get a discrete graphics card rather than the integrated, or just to upgrade various components that i listed. hope this helps

I also want to add that if youre looking to spend 500, use paciolis build haha

Thanks!

It IS too bad the SSD is OOS. In any case,

It's $360 for the PC... if you have more of a budget, upgrade the CPU to a Pentium G6XX, G8XX, or a Core i3.
Or if you want better graphics, Upgrade to a Radeon HD 7770 or 7850.

Great job rex000! You fit a decent sized SSD and an HD 7750 into the build for a mere $411.87.

Too bad the SSD is out of stock...



Was thinking about just buying a good mobo and the i5 you recomended.

can you please give me a good mobo for the i5. and kind of make it less than 500 if can less than 450]. with the previous setup

BTW: i dont really need a GPU, or a SSD. [ maybe the SSD just a litle , but can buy that later on ]

Alright. Go for this then:

Intel Core i5-2500K 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor - $220
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

ASRock Z68 PRO3 GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard - $90
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus CPU Cooler - $20 (after $10MIR)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

** All from newegg.com w/ Free Shipping.

This should fit into a $450-500 budget, provided you don't need a graphics card.
Again, drop the Celeron G540, the H61 motherboard, the Zalman SSD.

According to @Pacioli, if i buy the motherboard and cpu over at Microcenter. it will cost me $190 [ CPU ] and $50 dollars off any mobo.

$535.93 - $90 = $455

i think that would be ok, now one question my old pc, it has a CD Drive, can i just used that and saved than 20 dollars?

thanks. [sorry for my awfull english]

No lol, that is not ok. Like 90% of all disks are DVDs so I highly recommend you spend the extra $20. It will be worth it. :)

thanks dude, but is there anything wrong with my list? :hello: 

EDIT: it is a CD/DVD Drive. my bad just check. i will just used that instead. since i dont really use that part exept for installing windows. how do i know if i can put it in my Build. those a cd/dvd drive needs a special motherboard kind of like an i5... or i could just use it almost on evrey motherboard?
