 |
|
If someone could make two builds with the following specifications from
memoryexpress.com or newegg.ca
preferably memoryexpress because shipping costs do not apply there since I can just go and pick up the parts 
Build 1 :
- Cheapest as possible
- 21.5 inch monitor with hdmi
- 2GB Ram Max
- NO VIDEO CARD
- Atleast a Dual core
-300GB of HDD Space
Build 2:
- Under $900
- With 21.5 inch monitor or 22 inch with hdmi
- 4GB RAM
- Quad core i5 at the most
- Video card that can run Starcraft II on medium high smoothly
- 500 + GB of HDD space
No keyboard or mouse needed
Why 2 builds?
So i can compare how much each would cost ( Since I might just give my dad my current computer and build myself a good one)
And my current build is
quad core Q6600 3gb ram, 8600GT
if your wondering
Also would it be better to get an AMD build?
I've seen that they have quad core processors for like a 100 bucks

upgrade your ram to 4gb, overclock your cpu to around 3.6/3.9 and buy a gtx 460. Enjoy your nice computer.

Your current build still has life in it. For office use just build a simple machine. Nothing fancy or stuff.

Thanks Safko, I'll get that ordered very soon
Would it be more cheaper to go with an AMD build?

I honestly have no idea, I'm not updated at all as to what's new + good and bad etc. This is what I feel should do the job of an office comp at least.. (You could go even further and jump down to a celeron 1.8 ghz CPU but yea.. not that much of a price difference).
Also you shouldn't really just go ahead and buy what I said. It's only a pointer to what's a reasonable build.

Just picked up a monitor from memoryexpress
21.5 inch HDMI for only $134.99
@kls
T1Y5H3
im guessing it will just be about $40 for shipping?
maybe you could try an AMD build? (Only if its cheaper by a significant amount)
memoryexpress.com
seem to have cheap parts also??
