I have never built a computer before, and have next to no idea what I need to make a computer. I did a little research and found some builds and made my own based on the type of parts included in those builds. I don't know how to tell which parts are compatible, etc. but here is my build: (keep in mind that I am operating on a strict 600 dollar budget)
1. Case: LOGISYS Computer Area 51 CS51WBK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case 480W Power Supply -40$
2. Internal Harddrive: Western Digital Caviar Blue WD3200AAJB 320GB 7200 RPM IDE Ultra ATA100 / ATA-6 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive -45$
3. Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ AMD 990FX SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard -150$
4. Video Card: GIGABYTE GV-N26UD-896M REV2.0 GeForce GTX 260 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card -100$
5. Power Supply: CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 V2 600W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply -70$
6. Desktop Memory: CORSAIR XMS3 4GB 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 Desktop Memory Model CMX4GX3M1A1600C9 -28$
7. RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9R -52$
8. Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor HDZ965FBGMBOX -130$
9. Case Fan: ARCTIC COOLING ACF8 Pro PWM 80mm Case Fan -9$
10. CPU cooler: ARCTIC COOLING ACALP64 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler -20$
Total: $638.90
So that's my build. As you can see, its a little over 600 dollars, and I need to cut it down to about 560-570 so that I can add a keyboard and mouse, and a dvd drive etc. Also, I don't really know if all the parts are compatible or not. Please help me!
600 dollars is my budget. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could post me the best possible build for a gaming PC beneath the limit!
