wtf 370 dollars for a computer that includes monitor peripherals? thats harsh.... i'll try

wtf 370 dollars for a computer that includes monitor peripherals? thats harsh.... i'll try

That's a bit challenging the peripherals will take up half the budget

I'm pretty sure its more than just challenging...Im pretty sure its impossible. 

 

CPU: $60 

Mobo: $40

RAM: $40 

HDD: $30

PSU: $20 

Case: $30 

 

So, assuming he uses Linux, it's doable with like a 17-19" monitor.

i know. aperently his parrnets are getting him a ps4 for his birthday nxt month, so the budget is kinda low.... and thx. havent been able to find builds on the internet for 350 for krap

[My pet tree101]

At that point i would do what i did and have him look for a prebuilt used one....sounds sketch but it will have everything he needs for that price...if he can find one he likes for that price.
