Cheapest Gaming Rig (Need Advice)

[chocostain]

Hi! I asked the local sales rep to quote me the cheapest gaming rig they have available.

The price is supposedly in Pesos but I converted it to Dollars. This was quoted last 2012. I hope you can help

me guys with some of them. I need the the best value for the money. I can spend a little more if needed.

I'm going to buy em this year.




Intel Pentium G630 Dual Core (2.7GHZ) 3MB Cache LGA1155 Processor 75$

MS1 H61m-P23(B3) MOBO $80

Kingston 4GB DDR3 PC133 $22.5

Seagate 500GB 7200RPM Sata $110

Liteon Ihas-124 24X Sata Black DVDRW $22.5

INNO 3d GT440 Video Card $97.5

Trendsonic Apollo AP11A Silver/Black Casing $37.5

AOC 18.5" LED $107.5

PROTEC 4 Socket 500W AVR $6.75




More or less, it's $560.00. Am I getting the best for this value?



Any advise will be much appreciated. Thanks!!!!!

A $7 psu? That's mistake number 1.

You can probably get something like this:

CPU: Intel Pentium G860 ($70)
RAM: 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1333MHz Kingston Value Kit ($25)
Motherboard: Asrock B75M-DGS Micro-ATX ($60)
HDD: 500GB WD Caviar Blue ($65)
PSU: Antec VP-450 ($40)
Chassis: Cooler Master Elite 370/430 ($35-50)
Video Card: Radeon HD7770 ($130)

Subtotal: Roughly around $440

You'll still have $120 for a monitor if your budget is $560

that one is better for $350 without monitor and DVD-Writer

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/budget-gaming-do-it-yourself-computer,3364.html should be your base line.

Also wtf $7 PSU yeah that's going to last real long....$100 for 500gb HDD?! $100 18" screen...

$100 screen http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824260023&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL011113&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL011113-_-EMC-011113-Latest-_-LCDMonitors-_-24260023-L0F with free shipping
$109 2TB HDD (can be found cheaper at for example microcenter if you have one close by) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148834

GT440 is not adequate for see comparison chart here http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html if it has to be <$100 7770 or GTX650

I disagree. HD7770>HD7750 in any games. AMD Athlon are not better than Intel's current Pentium CPU for gaming. Also, psu that comes with chassis are usually some generic cheap unit that's never guaranteed to deliver their full wattage rating, it's usually half (500W labeled=250W) or even lower.

LOL my mistake. It's actually an extension socket. Anyway, that shows that the PSU in that system is probably some cheap unit that comes with the case and that's (almost always) never good.

I actually meant that is better than the pc which is in first POST and regarding to price/performance criteria

 

[chocostain]

I know what you mean. The prices are in pesos. I'm just dividing it by 40 which is the current equivalent for $1.00.

Some of the items I've posted may not be known internationally. I'm really not familiar with them. For the PSU, it's really $7 or perhaps the salesman mistakenly substituted the price for the speaker and the PSU. The other one is at $23.00.


Thank you for your responses though and reactions, including the violent ones. haha.


I'd really love to have this new rig working soon so I'm collating ideas.

I have gone through the posts and found this. How good is this build? Also what's the difference between Radeon HD 7850 and the HD7770. Which is better?

Thanks again.

7850 is about twice as good as the 7770. However depending on your needs (most games on medium setting), 7770 might be enough, it is a very good card.

 

[EzioAs]

HD7850>GTX650ti>HD7770>HD7750

in terms of price and performance. Take your pick

 

[chocostain]

Many thanks. I guess I've made my decision!

is a 450w psu good for this ?

It's enough. Pentium G860 and Radeon 7850 are very power efficient.

You don't need a Z77 motherboard. You'll want either B75 or H77. The money spared from the motherboard could go to a better CPU like a Core i3-3220

 

[Tavo_Nova]
