Hello everyone!
The Story: (You can skip it if you want, but there's some technical stuff in it too)
Recently I received a small amount of cash ($535) and I made a deal, in wich I traded a microSD card of 8gb for a desktop (LOL). Well, when I removed the cover to see If I had made a good deal or not, I found myself with:
1- am2+ mobo(http://www.biostar.com.tw/app/en/mb/introduction.php?S_ID=387#spec),
2-an old amd sempron,
3- 2 HDD of 320 gb each, one was unplugged, so I assume it's not working,
4- Other bunch of useless stuff ( wifi pci card, a non-working fan, PSU with 230W, etc).
My New Build:
After realizing that I had made a regular deal, I considered the following option:
Save everything that I can, wich would be the hard drives and the case, (maybe the wifi card), and build a new gaming computer with 535 bucks.
The build I tought is the following:
1- A Asus M5A78L-M LX PLUS mobo
2- An Amd Phenom II x4 x965 (not going to OC, I won't pay for a heatsink, and I don't trust the stock one)
3-XFX AMD Radeon HD7770 1024MB GDDR5 Black Edition (The ghost thermal edition)
4- 4 gb 1600 mhz ram
5- A 500 W coolermaster PSU
I wish to play new games, but I'm used to lag ( I currently have a laptop with 2 gb ram, pentium dual core 1,8 ghz, and intel gma x3100 128mb , so you'll probably understand my suffering)
So, what do you say? Any recomendations? (Please don't exceed the 535$)
Thank you in advance
