Through all of my frougleness and my friends constantly switching from Console to PC they keep asking me for something that they can afford for selling said console + a controller or two with games. So here is one of the requested builds I sent to a friend, Personally I'm not building this and if you want to yourself that's awesome :D Personally I call this the console killer.
(Keep in mind you can add the parts at the end to upgrade)
Power supply (As always high quality or DEATH): $37 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026
Motherboard + APU Combo(CPU+GPU): $150 ($10 savings when combo'd): http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1102158
RAM (8gb and nice ram at that): $25 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314
Case $30: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147123
So, IF you don't have a harddrive the price is way off. Since the prices haven't come down since 2010, You're going to have to hand over another $60 easily. $300, still very do-able considering selling a console the games for it and controllers is easily more than $300 (depending if you get scammed or not), Hard drives are easy to find but in sake of saving the whining you could pickup per-say this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136771
and if you want to play even nicer games you could throw on a 6670 or 6570 for like $60-$80.
and if you don't have a TV/Monitor, I don't know how you have a computer, or are even playing a console.
That's just a quick superficial build I slapped together for my friend. I hope that any of you could have found interest or maybe it helped one of you guys decide on a build.
Either way, hope you guys have a nice day/night and If you have questions or comments I would love to reply :D
