with 300 dollars you can buy a graphics card

 

[jfall]

maybe if your looking to play doom2

 

[ReliableData]

maybe if you're looking to play....solitaire....

 

[nick1985]

print out some pictures of computers

 

[Beef Taco]

For $300, you could build a comp. to play doom 2.

 

[imported_Kensai]

For 200$, you get a CPU. For 300$, you get the video card.

 

[Unkno]

ok, let's be serious everyone...it all depends on which games you want to play, settings, and resolution.

BUT, for $300 you would HAVE to settle for a card similar or a bit better than an integrated one.

 

[Ricemarine]

that is the smallest budget I've ever seen for

a MB, CPU, and video card lmfao.

9600XT
NF7-S V2
XP-2600
512 mb of corsair valueram.

boom.

 

[DaveSimmons]

Put the 2 together and get 1 $500 mb/cpu/video combo.

Or buy 2 x Xbox1 or PS2 and have $200 for games and accessories.

 

[spc hink]

Motherboard - $32

CPU - $84

Video Card - $40

Memory - $54

Hard Drive - $50

Case and PowerSupply - $35

Total = 295

It aint pretty but it will play games at lower settings

 

[Wahsapa]

new nforce w/onboard graphics, sempron, cheapist memory you can find

 

[Powermoloch]

why not add 200 + 300 to make a 500 $ comp. Which I did successfully underbudget...but after the taxes and stuff it came up @ close or right under 600 dollars:

3100 sempron "paris" (113)
NF3-250 Biostar mobo (56)
2 x 512 mb pqi ram (80)
Chaintech Nvidia 6600 (100.00-139.99 "that's how much i got before")
Rosewill cheap 29.99 case with psu already (crappy)
Asus quite cd-rw 29.99 retail
Maxtor Diamond plus 9 7200 rpm 80 Gb HDD 2mb cache 133 ata (61)

510 +/-

BTW i based these prices @ right may 2005. So stuff as you see here might be available, or was cheaper or even cheaper as before.

 

[Sonikku]

Well, for $400...
Sempron 2600+ Socket 754
512 MB of RAM
9600XT
80gb HDD
Socket 754 MOBO

There was a page I had at one time that tries to build a cheap gaming machine on a budget. I don't have the link now however.

Very Very Good
Lets say shave off case and HDD, and where I can invest that money

 

[MrCodeDude]

Somebody have learn English well, yes!!

You need a motherboard too, genius. Split between four items, for the $200 budget, that's $50 an item; for the $300 budget, that's $75 an item. Where exactly you think you're going to find a "gaming" graphics card for under $100?

 

[suicidalpigeon]

no need to patronize him. taking out the case and hdd will give you about $125. thats enough for a refurb 6600gt or a new 9800pro. check ebay or the fs/t section.

 

[Lyfer]

WinXP costs $90. Do the math.

 

[suicidalpigeon]

there's always linspire...
