Need help with new computer build!

OsamaBinLaggin' · September 28, 2014

So I wanted to make a computer that I could take to LAN parties, preferably a small computer that can still pack a punch.

I live in Canada, I don't want any peripherals just the computer, and I don't need an OS.

my budget is around $800.

This is a good build for what your wanting but... If you dont like the case which personally I hate Micro-ATX cases, go for the Deepcool Tesseract. It has a sexy look on the outside and a good amount of room on the inside. There are 3 different types of cases for the Deepcool Tesseract, there is the WH, SW, BF. I am getting the SW which is black matte color and has a window with blue LEDs inside the case. And you will be saving money so you wont be spending $800 all the way so you get the best bang for your buck.
