Building a new pc

[newpcbuilder]

Im lookin to build a gaming rig for battlefield 2 etc I want to keepit well under a grand 600-800 would be great can anyone reccomend somw partss?

[MrSlacker]

1st this is a wrong section. Mods please move it. you budget is 1600-1800? what do you need? just the tower? OS, speakers, mouse/keyboard, monitor? how many GBs do you need? we need to know things like that

[newpcbuilder]

No 600 to 800 dollars and I need everything and it has to be able to play newer games like bf2 etc thanks

[MrSlacker]

ok so u need OS, speakers, mouse/keyboard, and a monitor? if you want to play all new games maxed out, not gonna happen. i dont think you can even build a decent gaming rig for $800 coz look. OS-$90, mouse/keyboard-$50 speakers-$50 decent LCD-$250. so that leaves about $360 left for the tower.....

[newpcbuilder]

I dont need to spend 50 on speakers and 250 on an lcd and 50 on a mouse and keyboard I can gt them much cheaper how about the computer it self the components and reccomendations

[MrSlacker]

then how much will you have left for the comp itself........ saying u can get them cheaper, doesnt give us any idea for how much can u get them. btw, will you OC?

I think he is saying that 600-800 is for the PC. Or am I reading you wrong?

[MrSlacker]

nah, he needs everything for 600-800

You're insane. You CAN NOT build a computer for under 800 bucks that will play BF2 at more than 4fps (or at all). The wonderfull thing about BF2 is that it doesn't support old hardware, so the stuff you would have to buy with a back-pocket budget like that wouldn't even boot the menu. Unfortunately my friend, you will have to save up some more beans before you take the plunge. If that is all you can afford, I'd say wait for the next gen consoles and buy one of them... as much as it pains me to say that.

You should be able to get a rig with these components pretty cheap...
AMD K6-2 500mhz..
GeForce MX440
128mb SD ram
4GB HDD
And if you want to throw in the long yards... maybe even a 4x CD writer... lol

Nah j/j... i dont really know american currency.. so i cant help so much...

thats a little harsh. if he didnt need monitor, speakers, OS, and all that crap, he can get a system that will play BF2.

Actually, if you're willing to hit some computer markets and ebay and stuff...
My PC cost about $380USD to build, and its dual procc.

[Zeus]

ebay is always a gamble

[Cymae]

true, but there are some great deals
