Building a computer

[Sharpie]

I was hoping somone on here could either build me a computer off the memoryexpress website or help me build my own( I am totally clueless when it comes to specs on shit). I am looking for something really cheap just to play a couple games like WoW thats it I just want something I can pull out everyonce and a while to play. I also dont want anything fancy basicly just mininum to play WoW.


I am also willing to buy someones computer on here if they have a cheap one that is good enough to run WoW.


Thanks in advance.

What is your budget?!

That way we can suggest the best for the money.

I would like to keep it under $400

Dude $400 will barely get you anything.

Id double that.

I cant build anything on Memex under that amount. Perhaps find a used one but even then, I went cheapest possible shit without going to a sempron processor and without monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, and an operating system it was still 550 bucks.

I was gonna help till I saw the $400 bit, lol. Maybe wait till next paycheck bud.

Someone on here was selling a decent computer system for 400. Its similar to my computer and I can run most games no problem. Only thing you might upgrade in that computer is the video card which you can do later on for about $150.

Look in the computer section and see if you can find a few systems under or around 400.

actually you can get a good "off lease dell" for that, they are selling off a bunch of Ford dealer stuff at tiger direct

I have seen them from $204 for Pent 4, 512 ram, 40 gig, xp profesional

I can build you a really nice system for $800 new. I just built one for my dad for $650 for Christmas. He loves it. Yours would play anything and everything on the market right now at full res and be upgradable if you ever decide to upgrade it in the future. PM me let me know.

i might have something for you, used to play that but i'll have to look into it.

what parts do you need ? just the tower (cpu)

or do you need the speakers keyboard mouse and monitor package?

a tower for the $400 mark should be doable

not the stuff i'd usually recommend but i don't recommend a 400 dollar computer too often
