I'm building a real cheap gaming rig to run NFS Carbon and Company of Heroes for my kid cousin. My budget is around 250 or less(hopefully!), so it's gonna be pretty tight. hahaha!
Specs for my dream rig(!) are:
AMD 939 mobos (stable, good oc'er, no SLI necessary)
Any fitting processor at this point w/cooler
RAM - 512MB DDR PC2100 or 3200 doesn't matter
GPU - got 40 - 70 bucks to spend on it. DVI cable needed
PSU - any decent 350w or above unit (antec, sparkle, etc)
My goal is to build this by Christmas. So if you got useful stuff to rid of, please let me know! Thanks.
