[xblakej]

Had a old thread but can't seem to find it.

Are you buying a monitor: No

Parts to Upgrade: N/A

Do you need to buy OS: Yes

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I would like to buy everything from one place, but not Newegg. I live in Tennessee and Newegg charges me ridiculous amounts of tax, while websites like Amazon don't.

all you need is a 600 dollar pc. games you are playing are not demanding at all

actually 500

sorry its not from amazon, but amazon costs more so yeah

oh and please overclock the intergrated GPU on the CPU. more performance. i didnt include a GPU as the onboard is pretty fast and ample for your games

I'm trying to build a future proof PC, not a budget PC.

im telling you. if you dont play games that are demanding, higher end hardware is meaningless. with a APU with some overclocking done, you can easily get 120fps on CS games. literally no point

I want to open the doors to be able to play games like Battlefield 3 and other similar games.

 

[TheBigTroll]

if you are opening your doors to bf3, welcome.

of course i can give you a 800 dollar build. just that i usually only build to what the OP states for its usages and the games they play.

about everything can be bought at us.ncix. just do some price matching
