I'm going to build a computer themed around junk components so far I have a MOBO, case, HDD, and power supply, so if anyone has a CPU for LGA 775 or an GPU that could at least run a semi modern game (2008-2009) at a decent framerate that maybe a little screwed up or just don't need email me @ samuelchildresssamuelchildress.2001@gmail.com. Thanks!  BTW if you help me u will have a shout out in the video!

Look on EBay for a Q6600 and a 9800GT and it'll truly be a build from that time, actually a high end one.

I have been looking and found a q6600 for $20us on eBay but don't really trust it, it looked like thermal paste got smeared all over he contacts and as for GPU I have access to a GTX 480 but that doesn't go along with my theme.

There are tons of great Q6600's on EBay trust me, I've bought one lol.

I have a email from someone who has a decent CPU so if that falls through, I'll take another look. :-)
