Sub 300 Build AMD or Intel? - Overclock.net

Ktulu · 07-22-09

Im trying to build the cheapest computer possible from newegg or go to my local PC recycler and try and make something that can play WoW and other low tech games. What should I be looking for?

A full computer or will you be reusing certain parts like hd, cd/dvd, keyboard, mouse etc?

EDIT: Heres a quick attempt. From what I understand wow favors cpu so you may be find with onboard. I'll have to talk to my friend later that plays wow.

Total came to $322 but theres $35 in rebates if you go for those.

Hmm ok, thanks for the build. I repped ya man. Ill see what I can do with it.

Thanks. I talked to my friend, he agrees wow likes cpu. He said bringing the system to 2GB would help, that would only add about $15.

You'll want more RAM if you want to do anything with that. I'd suggest a good kit of 4 GB DDR2 by G.Skill, cheap, and effective.

yup, go 4gb if u can

you will also need a decent gpu besides onboard. get a sapphire 512 4830. you'll love it

i think he can settle with a 4670 to save a few bucks
