1324173 2013-01-21 23:16:00 Hi there, I was wondering if I could get a gaming PC that will play a bit of shooting games and some racing games. I need everything except a monitor, was just wondering if this could be done? Thanks :) darkoverlord123 (16996)
1324174 2013-01-21 23:23:00 Not really. I'd spend that on *just* a graphics card.

You could go 2nd hand perhaps?

1324175 2013-01-21 23:32:00 No. For that price its unlikely you could buy or build any sort of machine, let alone something that can handle basic gaming. Triple your budget and you might be able to start thinking about it. Nick G (16709)

1324177 2013-01-21 23:59:00 Go look in the GPForums B/S/T forum. You could probably get:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600: $60
775 + DDR3 Support Mobo: $40
450w PSU: $50
250gb HDD: $30
4870/6770/5770 or similar: $50-$100
4gb DDR3 RAM: $20
----------------------
Total: $250 - $300

+1 except that wouldn't even pay for my graphics card. More like $700 and up for one of those....
unless you buy last years...

1324180 2013-01-23 01:55:00 Hello darkoverlord123,

I assume you're the former villain of "Howard the Duck", and fallen on hard times, hence asking for the $300 gaming PC.

www.marvunapp.com

A life of villainy is just not economically sustainable, with the spiraling costs of island fortresses.

Also the fellow demons that were exiled to the Nexus of Sominus do not make for good character references.

You may want to look into failed villains support groups, as a good place to rejoin society.

Best of luck.

1324181 2013-01-23 05:07:00 I just joined because I was wondering if it could be done, does anybody where you could get good second hand pcs? And Who is Howard the Duck?........................... darkoverlord123 (16996)

As the others said, $300.00 is about how much you can spend on a graphics card at the minimum cost.
I spent $285.00 on a last generation CPU alone...
My GPU cost me $60 :p
