Low Budget PC

[matto97]

Just curious at what i could get at low r price Nvidia based PC for my little bro. has to be cheap like newer games at low stable 1080p medium ish settings but need to include all extras like screen and keyboard mouse ect.

I have sorta looked around out of curiosity and not sure if i will be yeah mainly curious with AUD at cheapest point with Nvidia based GPU what i could get for 1080 playable medium settings.
Thanks

Also some what of a smaller case would probably be good, something with dust filter sorta things as my bro isn't very tech savvy he just plays games and i dont live with him so i cant look after it and clean fans and insides and update drivers ect mainly why it needs to be Nvidia as well.

Price?

and why Nvidia?

[matto97]

Price?

and why Nvidia?

Honestly its all just a thought atm so cheaper the better, just throw ideas at me.

And Nvidia cause my bro just plays games he doesn't know much ells about PC's atm and with Nvidia Geforce it pretty much does downloads and installed drivers for you which makes it easier for him.

Hes only 11 but he does play a lot of games and ect

AMD does that too.

What the the max amount we can spend?

A $1,500 is great value price to performance wise, but a $600 computer will run well too.

Very interesting, Thanks

Probably not that much lol, atm he has a laptop with a GTX 730M in it and he can run most games but i would like him to run them better then lowest possible settings.

I am thinking about something lower then $1000 though as even $1000 is a lot for me.

Again just shoot ideas at me as its only a late night random though

Not to bad, good idea though as i did have a APU and the integrated GPU would just update threw Windows update which makes it easy as well and the performance is not that bad if you have more slots of RAM.

I can make a similar build parts list using a micro ATX factor form if you want.

Then you can have empty ram slots!

Yeah up gradability is cool, means in the future more ram could be stuck in or another/new GPU

Dunno if this would be an option but have you looked into maybe getting B grade or used hardware like Sandybridge hardware can be picked up quite cheap these days and is still a kicking choice for gaming, GPU's along the line of GTX660's also go fairly cheap and would probably perform way better than anything you can get new for the same price. Just a thought.

Used is also an option as its much cheaper.

I would check out the 68 chipset, They support sata 3 and pcie3 just like the high end 88 chipset but cheaper and less Sata ports etc.

I think OP wanted AUD prices aren't those CAD/US I might be wrong though

[matto97]

Yeah off the top of my head with USD prices to AUD you have to 1.5x it to get an idea of cost here

[jimakos234]

a bit over budget but it is worth it

I looked up some used parts in AUD

i5 2500k

8gb ram

GTX 660

Asus P8Z68-v

1 TB Hitachi HDD (New Part)

EVGA 500watt PSU

And a Cheapish case (New Part)

Where parts are new I put in brackets

and it was around $610 AUD it may vary depending on what you can get your hands on but that is the sort of price a lot of it was going for so give or take I guess when it comes to used it's not easy to put an exact price on it.

Just noticed you need a screen, Keyboard and mouse with it not going to be easy at that budget the screen is the killer here they bump the price up quite a bit.

[DunePilot]

Buy a used LGA 1366 X58 system off craigslist for $300-400 and throw a X5670 in there for $80 and have a 6 core beast.

[PeggersXtreme]

http://au.pcpartpicker.com/p/QykZbv Brand New this is the cheapest you can do including a monitor and keyboard and mouse it's $100 over lol you could always take the 260x out of the build but that would lower performance down to what the A8 gpu can do. Nvidia is gonna be tough to build for $600 including all the peripherals.
