I am building a PC for a friend, he only asks that the PC run World of Warcraft without any frame skipping, or slowdown on the computers part. (There will always be server lag)
Anyway, I have priced out the most important parts of the system, but its running way out of his price range. Here is what think would have been great for the system:
Socket 939 AMD 64 3000+ $146 Newegg
MSI K8N Neo4-F PCI-E $83
EVGA 6600GT PCI-E $153
PNY 1GB (2x512) PC3200 RAM $86.44
Now this alone is going to run at least $450, thats too much, so where do I save money? Do move down to a XP chip, go with a $50 Socket A Board, and an AGP 6600GT? Maybe down to 512MB of Ram? Any Suggestions? I still have to price in the Hard Drive, and Optical Drive, and a case. I havent got an exact amount on his budget, but hes only 16 making $80 a week.
