|

Hey guys, so i'm in need of a new computer. Right now i'm running my games on an apple laptop and you know how that goes. Anyways i've never built a computer before, but i preferably want to build a cheap gaming computer. I'm not looking for the best gaming computer out there, just a cheap one that can run most games fine. So could you please help will a build on newegg.com? Even if its $500+ post it anyways. Thanks for the help!
EDIT: Btw will this work for what i'm looking for?

At that price you are better getting a Quad Core for an extra 20 dollars.

The cheapest quad you can get is from AMD, then you will have to change your mobo and ram.
mobo cost at least $80 bucks and ram for DDR3 is around $100

I can run TF2, League of legends and borderlands at max so I think you should be good. And I'm using a 4650 which is worse then the 5670.

He doesn't have to switch to DDR3, he can stick win DDR2 just fine. And I'm sure there's a fine mobo he can get that's near the same price too.
this processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103706 - Athlon II x4 620
this mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128394 - there's probably an even cheaper one, this showed up first though, plus it's DDR2, so he can keep the same RAM

You'll be glad you did it.
