Build A Budget PC: $250, $500, Or $750 - Computer Shopper
Just read the parts lists. I like the $750 one.
Hec 600w
Elitegroup mobo
Q8200
The $500 one
Again Elite group mobo
Cooler Master psu
Apollo video card (never even heard of them)
A windsor X2!
and Value ram
The $250 actually uses some higher quality components than the $500 one! Like an Asus mobo and a newer, lower power Athlon X2.
The Hec psu and the elite group mobo alone make the $750 one a fire hazard. They went on to get the PC8500 gold's instead of the pc8800 model, a reference 4850, and a raidmax case.
I think almost everyone who has been here for more than a week can put together a better build for that budget.
Heck why not? If you think you can do better (which I hope you can) then post your $750 budget. Needs to include case and OS. Extra credit for cramming in a gaming KB and mouse.
