Custom build PC

[Alexandru Burbulea]

Hello again , I want your advice for buying some new components.
My budget is around 200-250$ , help me to choose good parts.

PS: For gaming ...

A computer for $250 is a extremely low budget
Stretch it out to $350 and you'll get some better results.

So first I will buy an HDD , because i found that my HDD has bad sectors , and now I've replaced it with an old hdd (80gb IDE/ATA) .

Tell me a good HDD and a case.

Err what do you currently have and what do you want to acheive. Any PC running IDE HDD is unlikely to be a gaming PC by modern standards. My guess is you are looking for a whole new PC if you want to play modern games
