New temporary build

[Grimsilver]

Hey guys, I have a bit of an issue. So my current computer is about to crap out on me, so I need to build something asap. I don't have the money for the system I had planned, so I was curious about what kinda options someone could come up with. The plan is to get a decent system running for now, and upgrading it later (probably in a month or two), so maybe even onboard graphics for now or something. Video card I plan on using later is an XFX Radeon HD 6870, but that does not need to be included in price atm or anything. Thanks for looking!

With the OS, you only have $200-$300 parts. Not a big upgrade path. I'll see what parts list I can come up with.

Well the only part I planned on upgrading was the video card. Just won't be able to afford one atm.
