Multipurpose $350 set up..

[Venum]

What specs would be best in building a entry level machine?

I'm building this secondary set up as torrent rig/online games/browsing.

At least can run most games on medium settings.( I'm not gonna be playing on this rig all the time)

The budget is only for the CPU, no extra peripherals needed.

But I do need an OS since I'm gonna do a clean install.

Please feel free to post any specs that would be bang for the buck. Peace out! :cool:

This build is pretty good. For $350, this is really the best you can get. This one has a much better hard drive, but otherwise is pretty much the same as Helltechs(with a case though).http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Ctn7

I don't think MrWatch is aware but when with APUs the speed of the RAM matter GREATLY. Benchmarks shows that 2133Mhz is much better than 1600 or even 1800Mhz for your FPS.

Yes it only applies to APUs.
