Need a VERY CHEAP gaming build

[Calzinger]

The 6600GT will perform better in games, not sure about rendering large images. I would assume that the difference is virtually unnoticeable.

Calzinger, the OEM Venice I listed costs 120 bucks. Def not jsut a few bucks more. Your retail you listed costs 146... Also the xp-90 costs 50 bucsk with heatsink/fan. Just to squeeze a few more megahertz in. IMO, that 20 bucks is spent better elsewhere esp ifyour on a budget.

Throw me the link to the one you posted and the one I posted, having trouble finding it.

Here is the fan thats reccomended to go with that heatsink.

Cheapest shipping is around 6 dollars for one of the two. For both, lets leave it at 10. Thats 50 dollars.

Here is the link to the heatsink/fan that I suggested, which costs 33 dollars shipped.

I don't remember posting a link to a processor here. But ok, you got me convinced. That 3000+ Venice is a damn good buy for $120.

Ya you might not have posted it heh. I just saw a bunch of 146 dollar retail venices and I got mad.

I can't blame you. Everyone (including myself) has this dig that newegg.com is the place to buy absolutely everything when in fact there are so many cheaper websites out there. I guess for the sake of service, reliability, and insanely wide selection of parts, people use newegg just to show the "what" and the "where".

newegg is just the mothership of all online stores
