Can someone build me a decent gaming computer?

Budget is like 550.

I don't know what are the prices for your country but from where I live at 550 you can built s good gaming pc but with use parts not new ones. Example: take the new video cards on the market are about 400 and up over here but you can get a very good use one (not the newest ones but) for under a 100.

It all depends what kind of gaming you want to do, if it's the newest games then get the latest gears, if you don't mind playing the older games then you can build a good one for cheap.

You can build a decent gaming rig for as low as $500. Just keep in mind that you'll have to re-use a lot of stuff in the process, including the case, possibly the hard drives, and some of the non-essential peripherals (sound card, maybe the video card if it's new enough).

However, there are a number of items that you simply can't skimp on, which are the-

- power supply unit

- motherboard

- CPU

- RAM

- hard drives *if you don't end up reusing them*

The problem with the above components is that they're easily the most-expensive items on your parts list. So you have to do some price-vs.-performance adjustments at some point.

That, or you can go to an online retailer like tigerdirect.com and get a barebones pre-built kit that comes with most of the parts you'll need. Add your the components you want to add and you're good to go.

Yeah with tigerdirect.com you are sure to get something that might work just be aware that everything from what I understand they sell is all used from what I have been told by many people etc.

Heck your bound to find a good gaming pc you can up grade later from most any place like HP,Dell etc etc.

$550 - 5 hours x $50 = $300

Restate your question. Say, "Can someone build a $300 computer for me for $550?". Then say you'd like it to play such and such games.

ok can someone build a gaming computer for 550?

Games that i would like it to play is

D2 and WoW

You don't need **** to play D2 and WOW. Especially D2, it can run on crap computers, cause my friends and I laned it at one of our friends house with a bunch of POS computers. You can build a powerhouse for a grand (that was how much mine cost to build), but not too much for 550. I mean u can get a computer for 550 that can easily play those games, but it wouldn't be a gaming pc.

Ahh i see.

hmm
i could spend up to 1500$ US if i really wanted,

Well if you have $1500 to spend.. Get an Alineware.. http://www.alienware.com/products/desktop-computers.aspx

Since Alineware computers are made for gaming and what not.

Ya i know they are,
but i want a custom built one.

lol.. that's why you go to there website and you can easy lee make a custom built a pc.

Like.. if you go to HPshopping.com or call them up they will custom built one for you.

Hope that makes it a bit easier to understand.

Newegg.com is like the cheapest and fasting shipping place for computer parts. Dont go to alienware kuz they overprice the crap out of there stuff.

Computer tower aka case:
Depends on what you want, but for this ill use mine.

Motherboard:
This also depends on what you like amd or intel? Now intel is superior to amd in everything to me at least. Usally you can get a motherboard + processor bundle which is good.This is one of those motherboards.

Video Card:
This is where people to me get stupid. You dont need a 900 dollar video card to play games like wow or any of those games. That is overkill.

Hard Drive:
This depends on what you have on your computer, songs, videos, and such. More than likely you need about 250g hard drive.

Memory:
2gs of memory is useally ok because memory is kind of expensive for the good kind but i use 4g so its up to you and how much you can spend.

This all all around 820 bucks. Which is pretty good. I didnt really take time and look for the cheapest stuff but, building computers decent ones at least is going to cost some money. Hope this helps.
