With a budget of $500 is it possible to build a gaming computer that can play the current generation of games with some future longetivity? Already have a monitor, keyboard, mouse and a case Cooler Master Centurion 5 with 380w PSU.
Need the following:
Motherboard
CPU
CPU Heatsink/Fan
Hard Drive
DVD Burner
Video Card
Memory
I looked at Anand's latest budget system guide however they do not really recommend it for gaming. I was thinking along my current setup AMD XP 2800 /Asus A7N8X Deluxe/1GB PC3500/200GB Seagate/Pioneer DVD-109/ATI 9700 PRO however it is still way out of the $500 budget. The system will mainly be used for Counter-Strike:Source, UT2004, etc.
I really appreciate all the help...Thanks!
