Cheap Build Gaming PC

FIREWALL · 10-21-10, 05:22 PM

I'm waiting for UPS delivery today of parts for new project.

Since my regular game computer aka Cray jr. by friends, isn't connected to internet or ability to do so. And no antiVirus or other programs to run in background. And a trimmed down W7 64BIT.

I thought I'd build something to play SH5 and RoF-ICE and see if I could do it fairly cheap using hardware from TigerDirect and Amazon.

Especially after all the posts of " Can I build a rig to play SH5 for this $." ?

This is what I bought.

CPU-Mobo combo- http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...77909&csid=_22

Video card
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...429&CatId=2306

Bought at Amazon, XFX Version Lifetime Warranty $150.00 free shipping

RAM X 4 Wanted to take advantage of mobo 16gb and W7 64bit
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...461&CatId=4534 Lifetime Warranty

HDD
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...250&CatId=2458

PSU
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...567&CatId=2533 Lifetime Warranty

CASE
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...46085&CatId=32

I have a extra optical drve so didn't buy one.

While prices shown are TigerDirect I bought thru Amazon and saved about $150.00 more and free shipping.

So after I get it together we will see if SH5 modded and at high settings can be played on a rig well under $1000.00

IMHO the hardware is above average for price paid.

BTW... While I shopped for price I also shopped for quailty and warranty/Support.

The cheapest part isn't always the Best.
