I am hoping I can find something like this under $300.
A couple months ago I spent $1100 on

3.2 ghz i7 processor
8 gb ram
1 tb hard drive
2 gb video memory.

If i were you I'd just save your pennies up to the $600-700 range and you're golden on newegg.com

It kind of depends on how many components you have in place already, or if this is a completely new build. If you have a case, optical drive, display, power supply etc already, then you just might be able to get away with $300 on a new mobo, CPU, RAM and HD. If you're talking a whole new rig, then saving up a bit more will indeed be necessary.

MB - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813138332 $50

CPU - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819116397 $88

HDD - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136108 $60 - these mechanical drives are going to throw a wrench into your budget right now, this one is the absolute cheapest piece of junk I could find that conforms to serial ata.

Case - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811154109 $20

Memory - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231308 $35 (went big cuz I think we have a surplus in the budget - this is 8GB)

PSU - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817170010 $19

That's all you need for the base of a computer - total is $272

If u want win 7 - probably looking at another $80 for home version, then allow about $20-40 on top of that for keyboard/mouse/headset/speakers (if needed)

and allow another $50-100 for monitor (if needed)


That harddrive is hit or miss on using as boot device imo, but was cheapest I could find.


core components sub $300, mission accomplished.

there's ways to get cheap windows.

DIY - $250 pretty good deal, still would need to buy an operating system though. Also shell shocker only good for today hehe, but they have stuff like this everyday pretty much

Default Thank you Gwence

Thank you for going through all of the time to put that together Gwence. I really didn't mean for anyone to go through this much trouble, I was just wondering how far off am I in thinking I could get something like this around $300 or so.

I have a few old computers in a shed. What parts could I salvage from an old computer that would not be severely outdated? Like, for example, do cases or power supplies get outdated, or could I use one that is approximately 15 years old? I guess things like serial ports in the case would be pretty out dated, but I generally am wondering what can be salvaged and what should be replaced.

If I were to choose one or two items to upgrade from what you have chosen, what would be most important? The hard drive?

Lastly, do I need to install drivers for each hardware component I install into a new computer, and if so are these easily downloaded?

Thank you.
