Hey guys this is a new build of mine I built for lan parties, going to friends houses, and also for my nvidia sheild.

 

I used mostly parts I had laying around that werent doing anything.

 

Case - Prodigy m(Obviously overkill for this pricepoint but its small looks great and becuase of the handles is easy to move around)

Motherboard - Gigabyte 78lmt-usb 3 (got it for 25 dollars at a micro center open box deal)

Gpu - Nvidia 650 ti 2gb evga (supports sheild and moderate gaming and got on sale refurbished for 90 dollars)

cpu - amd4100(would not recomend but I had one laying around)

ram - 8gbs 1333 ram I had laying around

psu - 430 watt antec psu I had laying around 

cooler - stock im not oc'ing so all I need

disk drive - who cares being my dad uses this rig he demanded one and I had one laying around so why not

It might not matter to you, but it does matter for the components. Cable management is not only for looks, but also for airflow and giving the hardware room to "breathe" and not run too hot.

i know but being the video card has breathing room and so does the cpu its fine with me untill I have some time to ziptie it up

I have one and I can tell you it's awesome. I've got mine set up to stream from outside my home network. Tried it at a friends place and it works great.

 

 

Also, nice build. How much did it put you back?

I had some of the parts already so it only put me back a little over 300 with the case video card and motherboard. 

 

if I didnt have the psu, cpu, or ram laying around it would of probally cost me around 500 so still a pretty good budget sheild and lan build that looks pretty good.

Nice, $300 is not bad at all for a build like this.

Thanks! I love my rig, and while I haven't been keeping count, it's somewhere in the neighborhood of $1500 with Windows 8 Pro.
