headcracker · 05-04-09

ok so i want to build my sister a pc, but i really dont have ANY money at all, but i will find it from somewhere. so i need the cheapest build possible that doesnt completly suck !

this build will mainly be for playing cod4 (she loves it) , an other stuff like web surfing and all the other usuall basics of computing.

i will be giving her my 8800 an my 4gb of xms2 ram. an i have a monitor for her.

so help on the rest of the build would be extreamly helpfull.

cheers.

Edit: sorry wrong forum, ment to post in general, sorry.

Pics of sister? Then we will help.

i dont have a budget, just as low as possible, and upgradeablitiy would be a bonus but not a problem, it will mainly just be used for cod4, but i say low but not to low as to bottleneck my 8800 as it has a pretty good overclock,

Cheaper the better.

Newegg = USA. So no.

You could make a cheap AMD build like a 7750BE + a 780G with onboard graphics, would be really cheap. So it depends how cheap you want to go.
