Ok guys so here is where i am at. I am going to be buying a computer this week. I want it to be able to do Moderate gaming. I am going to be having it hooked up to two monitors. Im running a 40ft vga to my tv, so that we can watch Hulu and Netflix on it. I wont me playing a game or anything on two screens.
I will be playing most my games at 720p Resolution. And i don't mine playing on medium to high settings. So here is the kicker.
I have a 500 dollar budget.
I do not need a Monitor, Mouse or Keyboard
And i bought a copy of windows 7 last year that i will use on this new computer. So i will not need that.
I have an idea of some of the things i can get. But my bias stops me from making some sacrifices i should make for the budget. If i spend more then this ill be sleeping on the couch for a while.
So i turn to you. If you had a 500 dollar budget what parts would you go with?
(yes i know there are other posts like this, but when i look at the parts list the deals and so on for that parts list is expired and the prices have changed. i am looking for a buy tomorrow kind of list)
Thank you for any help!
(for ppl who dont want to read the story)
-$500 dollar budget ( i live in USA )
-Don't need OS Monitor Keyboard or Mouse
-Would like to run most games comfortably.
This is kind of something i just made up, Would it do ok? Is this everything i would need? is the power supply enough?
