Default $400 for a non gamer
So I wanna build my first pc I never done this before only changed parts.
I only plan spending $400 or less if possible. I only need a PSU, CPU, Mobo, RAMS and a GPU.



TY.

This is my choice as well. The Phenom II x4 6xx processors are of great value compared to other quad core cpu's.

i'd go for the AMD solution as well.

AMD at the moment is simply the better value for budget builds.
