Very LowCost PC

[JoaoPRSousa]

So, a friend of mine asked for a PC build for the smallest amount of money, and thats kinda hard...

He plays CrossFire, BlackShot, Minecraft and some more random games, and he will also use it for some school work. He says he has a monitor, might be 1366x768, but I dont know...

I was thinking in this:

The APU idea is great but i think he won't need the last generation of them, maybe the 6k generation will be jsut fine nad it is cheaper that is if you can find it.

Also bear in mind that higher clock RAM helps perfomrance a lot with this APU's so maybe you can help him overclock the one he gets (up to 1866mhz which as far as i remember is the APU supports).

Cheap gigabyte is fine. Just not cheap ASrock boards. ESPECIALLY not older ones.

Also, the HItachi Ultrastar 1TB HDD is only 2.50 more

[Chriz6097]

You can get a 1TB caviar blue for $2 more.

totally agree, had one and surprisingly enough when i bought a new one, i basicly gained 30 fps on bf3, i know it sounds like bullshit but, turns out the pci-e had bad support of power(electrics), meaning i wasnt getting its full potencial
