Desperate upgrade

[Silentprototipe]

I would like a new pc for 700 USD

I would like to move away from my usual ways of going and buying my pc's off the shelf. 

 

Id like to stay with amd however if its just a much better choice i can take intel too.

 

My use for this rig would be for gaming. As it is to replace my aging HP, Its doing fine but i need an upgrade before it cant run any games.

What CPU does your HP have? If it has a second gen or 3rd gen i5/i7 it can be reused and you can save some cash

Yep, scavenge the living shite out of your old build. If I could have known one thing before building my PC it would have been this.

I used to have a PILE of PCs in my garage that did not have windows when i was younger. My uncle stored them in our house and he also had a list. We ended up throwing those PCs away when i didnt know what they were. Turns out 3 of them had i7 2600ks and one one had a 2600k, An asus rampage and a 580

If you have a decent old CPU + Motherboard + RAM ignore what I put for those and get an R9 390 too.

How many CPU keychains you could have sold at 15 bucks a piece...

To be honest that's just sad.

This is actually super similar to by build. Can confirm it games quite respectably.

A 2600k and a 580 is worth more than a keychain... That would still be a good gaming machine

I challenge the good sir, 

You can make a keychain out of anything.... You just have to want it.

[Flowey]

Challenge accepted...

From work...

In about 5 hours...

I also will be procrastinating all evening...

So no GPU keychain for u
