New Computer With $600 budget MAXIMUM.

[SeizedBog]

Any ideas guys? I got $600 bucks to spend to make a gaming PC, btw OS, screen, mouse, keyboard etc not needed.

I got some other questions too
How do I know whether this CPU is good enough for this GPU?
I mean, like would AMD Radeon™ HD 6850 Graphics be good on AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 840?
I'm planning to have them.

Also, in the modern day world, should I choose the number of cores over clock speed or vice versa?


And why is the AMD Phenom II X4 Quad Core 840 so damn cheap? What's the problem with it?

Thanks.

I've got a question for you Seized,( hope this doesn't sound rude) how long have you been studying computers?

..Because if your going to assemble this computer yourself I would suggest studying how to build the computer; your just asking a lot of questions.

Oh i've been studying HOW to build a computer for quite a while! like 2 weeks of continuous youtube videos. So there should be no problems there. I know how to plug everything in, and where everything goes, it's just the hardware part where i'm stuck.
Cos so far I've only ever had laptops, three in fact, and so I only know about laptop specs :/

Oh, and sorry for replying so damn late, it's a pain in the ass to be a student and to live in Hong Kong. You guys were talking at 5 in the morning! =.=

You can't study enough, eventhough I am building my first PC this year I have been studying since October of last year so that I don't forget anything. Most of these questions your asking like "...[cheapest board with 4 RAM slots]" can be fixed by going to newegg searching for P67 boards, switching the order list to cheapest and viewing the pictures for ones with 4 RAM slots. I'm going to jump ahead and tell you that all P67 boards have AT LEAST 4 RAM SLOTS, but point-in-case is that its easy to read/look at pictures and learn what you need.

On the otherhand I'm glad that you came to Tomshardware where we have the patience to teach the OP's simple tricks like this to answer their own questions.

Sorry guys for being so dependent, ugh I'm horrible at this. I have NO idea how to choose motherboards. Never heard of them. Didn't need them when choosing a damn laptop
Okay. I'll go off and do a bit more learning! I think i'll give it some time before I actually start building.

And lol noo dont worry i wont blame anything on you if anything goes wrong. After all, it should be me to blame cos im so damn lazy

Hah it's ok, just do a little more researching.

 

[zepfan_75]

I'm sorry about the time difference, here in U.S. it was like 5 in the afternoon!

I was just worrying about you that was all, I hate hearing about a person spending 600 bucks, getting the stuff home and saying " Now what did 'shinobi and zepfan' say?" It is just precautionary.

Good to here you were studying before hand
