Extremely Low Budget (450$) Gaming build

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
I would have never gotten into this mess if the AGP slot on my brothers old dell started smoking. ohno-smiley.gif Well, that was a mess, and now he's whining that he can't play minecraft and stuff any more. He wants to be able to play some games in the future, and doesn't mind turning them on dirt low settings, he just wants them to run at a decent framerate (30+). He has a moniter, keyboard, mouse, and speakers. What he needs is Windows and the PC. So that's basically 350$ budget now with windows. Here's what I came up with.

G620
MSI H61M-P31
2gb Crucial RAM
Refurb Caviar Blue 320gb
Sapphire 6670
FSP 350 Watt
Samsung Burner
Rosewill mATX Case
W7HP

Shipping for me is 20$

Total: Around 445$

Mainly was wondering wheather the GT440 or GT630 are any better, as there in the same price point. I think FSP is a good brand for a PSU, there aren't really that many good brand PSU's at that wattage/pricepoint. The case I picked had the most fans in it as well for sub 30$. It also has to be 450$ before MIR's.

So, any suggestions? TY in advance.

Re-use the old case and disk drive if you can. If not then that's alright too.
That being said, the old dell case should have a cd key for windows so you might be able to use that. If you can do that, then go for the "upgrade to windows 7" package for 20 bucks less than normal windows 7.
Either way if you have a microcenter near you, you can get unbelievable good deals on AMD processors.

Scroll all the way down, and you could get a hexacore or a quad core for 100 bucks with a free motherboard.
In addition to that here's this:

This, honestly should play any game at decent settings these days. You can opt for a less expensive GPU if you really have to stick to the 450 dollar budget. Otherwise I think I might've gone 5 bucks over. Anyways, I hope this helps somewhat!

No microcenter, and turns out my brother was able to scrape together another hundred, which will make this build a lot easier. And his case is proprietary (for dell stuff) and the DVD drive is IDE. Gonna make a new thread no moar posting here, go here.

I'm definitely a fan of this setup. I love my 960T with 2 unlocked cores with my 212+. Easily overclockable. And the 550ti is a great budget card.
