Alright, doing a gaming computer for my friend with a budget of $500. Doesn't need a case, he already has a ThermalTake V9.

Mainly this computer will just play games, minimum 320Gb HDD please.

I don't care about brands (AMD or Intel, Posted in AMD because IIRC, they are cheaper), I'd like the best build for the money.

Rep will be given to all that give me a build.

Thanks.

$523 upfront, $508 after MIR


Should play every game nicely, and OC good with the UD3R, not sure how good the Thermaltake V9 is, but the mobo will not hold you back, ive seen people hit 4.0 with it

Looks good Ryan, HDD is a little slow but that's no big deal. Didn't know that the E5200 was so cheap.

+Rep.

I'd still like to see what other people can produce as well.

Same setup as he has posted but change the CPU to like a E7400 and some G. Skill or OCZ DDR2 800 4GB memory. that A data stuff is over priced.

EDIT: Hey i didnt know you leave in the same state as me

I don't know about the Intel setup, the motherboard is kinda expensive compared to this other Gigabyte/PhII 550 Combo. Plus I don't quite trust A-Data either.

And yes, I am a Washingtonian. Down here in Bonney Lake.

I'm liking that combo deal, but not the PSU. I think I'll probably get this 500W Coolermaster... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817171031

I've used it before in a different friend's build and it's powering a HD4850 + Q6700 quite well.

Says 3.5", but I agree, it looks like a mobile hard drive in the picture.
