Looking for some advice on this build. The last build I did was 5 years ago and a lot has changed. Basically I want a cheap build that I can upgrade later if need be in the future.
So far I was looking at MB around 50-70 that supports AM3 CPU and DDR3,(4 slots would be nice for the future). A athlon II X2 for around 50-70. Might looking into a X3 for the right price. And some basic memory that is stable. Don't know if I need 2gigs or 4 right now. Also a basic case with a PS. I have gone through a couple different ways on newegg and price usually comes around 230 to 280 for this build. Being used mostly for some light gaming no Call of duty or anything, music, office work and internet.
Approximate Purchase Date: next 30 days
Budget Range: about 250 shipped
System Usage from Most to Least Important: internet, light gaming nothing too intense
Parts Not Required: Motherboard(has to be a AM3/ DDR3), cpu, 2 or 4 gigs of ram(not to sure if I need the 4 right now), and lastly a simple case with a PS
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg
Country of Origin: US
Parts Preferences: Amd
Overclocking: Maybe later
SLI or Crossfire: No
Monitor Resolution: 1280x1024, and above. Acer 23inch lcd monitor
