I have just built a new system on a tight (HARD CAP) $1000 budget.
Here is the rig:
Athlon II 465 X3 3.1 Ghz - $85
GIGABYTE GA-870A-UD3 - $110
HIS Radeon 5870 1GB - $350
CoolerMaster CM690II - $60
Antec EarthWatts 650W - $60
4GB G.Skill RipJaw 1600 DDR3 Kit - $90
Sony IDE DVD-DL 18x - $15
500GB WD Caviar Blue - $42
Windows 7 Home Premium x64 - 80
Total approx $900
I basically came out with 100 bux to spare. (More save = More good)
What do you think?
I kind of skimped on a hard drive, basically built everything around that video card.
