LAN itx pc planning

[aidenrelkoff]

hey everyone, so i am tired of bringing my "craptop" to my friends house so imma build a LAN portable desktop pc. so i was thinking, i dont really need a boss gpu on this thing, so maybe a APU with a R7 240/250. my budget is approximately $400 without OS. could i get "yall" to make up some parts lists?

I'll do a PCPartPicker to post in a bit but wouldn't something like a GTX 750 Ti be a better option for a cheap ITX rig for a LAN part? You could also get an Athlon CPU on the FM2 platform to keep the cost down.

as cheap as possible, ill mostly be playing minecraft on this thing so even a $80 gpu on its own would be more then enough, i even think the R7 240 is like $60 or somthing

yeah get a athlon 750k with a 750ti 430w psu 8gbram and a 1tb hdd would be a good bet or a hadron air case and psu combo

Why don't you put your current pc in this? http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=25_1532&products_id=24730&zenid=8c9dbb090f9d9cfb088dbc8edef4f07f

 

Maybe upgrade the cpu/ gpu with the money left over. It's better then having 2 low end pc's.

Yes but its portable and easy to move, it's a better option then have 2 low end pc's.

I don't see the point, you should have a single better pc then 2 average ones.

 

You are strong I couldn't cope with a FX 4130 and my secondary being even slower.

Pretty much as cheap as it gets:

Yeah I heard they OC well, I would just need more power in general

Take a look at this. It's a bit over budget and will need a monitor. But it should play some games.
