Building A Computer CONTEST - Lladar - 08-31-2010
I was recently employed to build a computer for my cousin. The problem is... I've been out of the computer market so long I'm not sure what's good, what's bad, or what's the better deal. I could really use someone's help building this computer.
The Budget: $600 - $800
Main Component: Graphics for Gaming
Let it also be noted that the most resource consuming games he plays are rts, mmo, and rpg games. We are not looking for something that can play Crysis on high, but if you can manage it with that budget then **** fuckin' yeah. We are also not picky about companies (i.e. Intel vs. AMD) we don't care.
First person to make and provide links with the best value will win a Lladar Gym badge, 1000 internetz and my respect. Make be proud, brothers.
EDIT: We only want the tower itself. We have the components i.e. mouse, keyboard, monitor.

It's what I've always wanted!
Budget computers are so limited, but I'll see what I can do.
Processor: AM3 3.2GHz Quad Core [link]
Motherboard: ASUS M4N76TD [link]
Memory: 4GB DDR3 [link]
Graphics: GeForce GTS 250 (1GB VRAM) [link]
Power: Corsair 650W [link]
Case: This Antec thing I think looks cool and also fits the dimensions. [link]
The above comes to about $625 before tax.
As far as disk space goes, It might be worth his time carrying over the old drive. However, if he wants to install EVERYTHING again, get something that will fit all of his games. I have a separate 500gb HDD for my vidya, and that cost me around $50.

This entire thread is trolling me unintentionally, especially Mitch.
