Just To Get By

KingClub · Post by **KingClub** » Thu Nov 09, 2006 3:21 pm

Hello Everyone

Was thinking of building a system to just get by for a while till I can build a more up to date system mid next year.

Price Range 300 to 400 dollars or less if possible, doubt it with shipping.

Must be able to play the following online games, EQ, EQ2, World of Warcraft and City of Hereos.

Don't really play any other graphics intense programs nothing harder than Warcraft 3, Sid Miers railroads, Civ, stuff like that.

Like to listen to online music services like Rhapsody and Napster and rip cd's, not really into ripping DVD's but would like to watch them on the system.

I have a Case, Power Supply, and CD/DVD burner. Think all I would need is MB, RAM, CPU, VIDEO

Hope this gives a good general idea, and Thanks for looking and brainstorming

whats the rating on your PSU and who made it?

ECS mATX AM2 Mobo 57.99
eVGA GeForce 7600 GT 129.99
Patriot 1GB DDR2 667mhz 104.99
AM2 Athlon 64 3500+ 86.00

Total: 378.97 - shipping

This will run all those games you mention but id recomend going to a dual-core proc but that would add $96.00 dollars to the price to get a Athlon 64 X2 4200+ but thats what I have and it works great. Of course if you have that kind of money you might be able to go Core 2 Duo.

I have a decent system, but I was thinking of a new GPU, but I'm going to wait till I'm ready to go to Vista and get Dx10 parts.
