So, as probably most of you guys i also love hardware and technology, but living on a 3rd world country and not having a job makes having a high end pc quite difficult, so my pc might be one of the least expensive pc's in LTT forums. But i love everything about it because it just works and it is speedy enough for the use i have for it (maybe not much for gaming but i don't do much of that).

 

Specs:

- CPU: AMD A6-3500 2.1Ghz Three-Core (best bang for buck processor at the time, i have seen people overclock it over 4 GHz!)
- Motherboard: ASUS F1A55-M LX (Does the job, i wish it had HDMI and USB 3.0 but it has been reliable)
- Ram: 4gb (2x2) Kingston HyperX Blu DDR3 1600mhz
- HDD: Seagate Barracuda 500gb 7200 rpm
- Graphics: AMD Radeon HD 6530D (Integrated)
- PSU: Corsair CX430M (Just got it last month after a crappy chinese no brand psu that was on its last legs)
- Case: Cooler Master Elite 343 (Just got it after replacing a no name chinese case that i had since forever)
- Wireless: D-Link DWA-525 (Didn't want to route cables to my room, so wireless was the way to go, and it works fine)

Old Case (it was really dusty, and even the wireless card was sagging!)

Pretty nice.

 

EDIT: How much did this cost you? My grandma's HP has more horsepower, sadly, and it was about $700.

Well prices here are more expensive than in the us but I would say in total it was about $400 without os or peripherals.

That's not bad. Tack on $150 to 200 more, and that's not doing too bad. :)
