$1004.91 (with monitor)

$180 mobo with $100 processor? Please don't follow this, components are incredibly mismatched with several poor choices for a budget build.

I'm going to assume you can acquire an OS on your own, otherwise tack another $105 on for Win7 Home Premium

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129042 - Case: $55

If you're not keeping your dvd burner and monitor

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236051 - Monitor: $170

Total: $670
W/ DVD burner & Monitor: $870

A lot of what I choose has free shipping and theres rebates on the mobo, psu, and monitor.

If you're not from the US the prices WILL be higher, but you probably should have stated that in the OP. For the future, please state your budget rather than simply stating that you are on a budget, as it's much easier for someone to recommend you components, as "on a budget" is relative to the person who says it.

you wana go with a dual core processor if you are gameing.... hands down most games will only support 2 cores and if ya get a quad that is less power per core. and as for ram if ya want 4 gigs (max for non 64 bit XP) get 4 1 gb sticks. the more ram sticks ya have the better. as for the mobo yeah the one i posted is a lil spendy urs would work fine too. buy a 400w power supply??? ewww specially if they wana game with a nice graffics card /shudder

I would go with the motherboard, case, and monitor shake posted. If ya do use his whole list at least don't get that power supply. 400w is way to low unless ya grab a really junk video card

1. This isn't 2007 anymore. Modern games support quad-cores. You WILL get more fps with a quad core which won't bottleneck your gpu. Not sure what you're trying to say with the less power to each core bit.
2. 4 sticks of ram will only succeed in adding money to his electric bill. You do not gain performance from extra sticks of ram. With a 32-bit Windows OS, the amount of usable ram is actually closer to 3.25 and not 4. You'd be wasting basically a 3/4ths a stick of ram if you went with a 32-bit version of windows (which you seem to be recommending to buy). (Get 64-bit Win7)
3. He does not appear to be a power user and will likely not overclock his stuff; therefore, he doesn't need the headroom of a larger power supply. 400W is adequate for the parts I posted. Furthermore, Corsair power supplies are of the absolute highest quality.

Your technical knowledge seems to be 2 year outdated and full of misinformation. Please keep up with current hardware news before leading someone down the wrong path.

so according to your info how much did i need to pay for all of your part? and is there no one packet of computer? since i didn't know much about computer. also i am outside of US, indonesia more specific and my budget is around $500.

^ is that $500 USD?

You can't do anything without knowing a person's budget first.

yes 500 USD

Hmm,,, you're on a really tight budget my friend.
'ill try to help anyways ^^

This set would put you up to about $636.92(please correct if im wrong).

BUT if you sacrifice a little bit more performance such as trading that triple core to a dual core, and replacing the Graphics card, bringing down Hard Disk Space from 500Gib to 320GiB, and maybe a lower PSU...

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817339009 - Power Supply

...it would bring the price down to about $512.93
You dont sacrifice much when it comes to Graphics, i myself use them and they can probably play most games on medium-max settings

I hope this helps ^^ (i may have miscalculated on some stuff >.<)

PROTIP: FIND A CASE WITH FREE SHIPPING, IT WILL SAVE YOU A SHITLOAD[size=1] i[/h]

Remember he said he was outside of the USA. Sites like newegg and TigerDirect do not ship there, and parts are more expensive in places like Indonesia.

Directron ships to Indonesia, so this is how you could get your computer:
If you have experience building computers or know someone who has, choose something like this.

REUSE ANY PARTS YOU CAN FROM YOUR OLD COMPUTER LIKE CD/DVD DRIVES, HARD DRIVES, FANS (Rear and Front), AND MONITORS
(sorry I am assuming you have one, but you might just using a family computer right?)

Now, its just a matter of shipping charges which the company says:



And there you go: Your new rig. Expect the shipping charges to be big (greater than $60), so sadly it might bring the budget a little bit over $500, but that computer will definitely fit your needs. I am jealous because it's better than mine O_o

EDIT:

There are pre-built gaming computers, but nearly all of them are over $500, and ultimately too expensive to buy. The best thing to do is find someone who has built computers and ask him to help you.

wow thanks for all the suggestion. it hard to decide which one is the best so i noted it all so i can find the best of the best also i search from google about computer for gaming and i found some built cpu for me here is the list of what inside it:

†¢Intel Pentium Dual Core E2180 Processor
†¢ATI Radeon HD 3650 512MB Video Card
†¢nVidia 7050 Chipset
†¢2GB DDR2/800 Dual Channel Memory (2x1GB)
†¢Western Digital 500GB SATA-II Hard Drive

†¢AMD64 X2 4200+ Dual Core Processor
†¢ATI Radeon 3200 512MB Onboard Video
†¢ATI Radeon 3650 512MB Discrete Video
†¢2GB Dual Channel DDR2-800
†¢Western Digital 250GB SATA-II Hard Drive

and maybe this one too but i need to find some more money to buy it:
http://www.vigorgaming.com/product/config_hornetae.html

Now you have the idea! That is exactly what you want. However, the ones you picked aren't that powerful considering you are paying $500 for them. Let me show you an idea which might or might not be appealing. However, if I can get you a cheap prebuilt computer, it would be with a separate graphics card. But in that way you could save a lot of money.

Does amazon ship to Indonesia? If so this might be a deal for you.

What do ya think? If amazon ships it to Indonesia, then you might have a good deal right there without actually having to build an entire computer. Are you up for doing something like this?

If you want a computer that is going to be up to date and not junk in 2 weeks like a few of the suggestions above you cant go wrong with this-

Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1.5TB Hard Drive

Then just go buy a good video card and you will have a beast of a machine that will last you a long time

This summer I am going to buy that kit and throw in my NVIDIA 8800 GTX in it, that card still has a year or two on it. Overclock is extremely easy with that motherboard also, just make sure you have enough cooling

Although that may be a good suggestion from you but if you read his above posts, you would have seen this.



He lives outside the US so tigerdirect doesn't ship there, and his budget is $500. What you posted is over double his budget.

Also about the kit, you should be able to find better, from separate parts.

Then purchase the sythe Mugen 2 (or Megahalem if you want extreme cooling)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835185093&Tpk=sythe%20mugen%202
The sythe is one of the biggest coolers I HAVE EVER SEEN (the picture doesnt do it justice)!! My brother got one for his i7 rig, and (with the same motherboard I have above) overclocked his i7 from 2.6GHz to 4.1GHz, completely stable with minimal voltage.

TOTAL: $878 + ~$30

Just by reducing the 12GB of RAM you really don't need, switching out parts, you get a cheaper build that performs just as well.

I have a 9800GTX+, a little stronger than the 8800GTX. My brother has been using it in his i7 build lately because he fucked up his HD4890. Sadly, even he can't max out some of the newer games he has been playing, because the 9800GTX+ isn't strong enough to max them out. Yes, the 8800GTX will probably last a year and then you will find yourself running new games on low - medium low settings. Save yourself the extra $200, so later you can purchase a next-gen card when the time comes.
