I built my own pc in 2009, with cheap parts basically, but with a good and big tower thinking of upgrading eventually. Because I'm pretty poor I just replaced the parts that went bust with time and my computer is currently garbage that destroyed 3 hard drives among other things. I've spent over 1,200 dollars in about 4 years and my computer has been junked by more than 2 years over these last 4. I want to rebuild, but of course I want to do it well this time.
My tower is still very functional, although a bit covered in rust. Nothing some polishing wont fix though, so I'm planning to reuse that. My cpu cooling system is functional, and better than a stock option by far. As for the rest, it's all going to the trash. I want to get a barebones pc, basically all that I would need for a good base to buy a good gpu in five months time or so. I also would like to get an ssd because I move around a lot and I suspect my hdds have died because of that.
So, for starters I was thinking of a z77 extreme 4 I think it was called, an i5 35xx something intel processor, ram and psu. I want quality components, and if it all can be bought with less than 400 bucks that would be awesome. I think I could play indie games and league of legends with this simple build, and it would be a great base for a good gpu. My case is huge, so don't worry about space. Recommend away and thanks in advance!
