So I really wanna build a desktop PC for around $200, unfortunately the old guide http://teksyndicate.com/videos/build-best-cheap-ass-gaming-rig-nov-dec-2012 is from a few months ago and i was wondering if i could get more bang for my buck.
Ps. It sucks being a poor college student.
For gameing $200 is impossible just buy a console it will be better
For $250, it wont get alot better than that.
Well I already have a 360 but I want to buy more of my games from steam and mod them. Plus I would like to build PC from scratch for fun. I'm mostly looking for CPU and motherboard ideas.
Lol I tried but it's impossible
Thanks for the help, I was just checking to see there were any updates to the build in the last few months.
this is the best i could do

you can swap that power supply for like a 400 watt to save 10-15 dollars
This is about as low as you can go and get 45+fps in skyrim with mods http://pcpartpicker.com/p/PbVU
Sell that xbox ;)

I tried...
So I ended up going with the AMD A6-5400K 3.6GHz processor. Now which motherboard should I use? The MSI AMD A55 MicroATX DDR3 1600 370 Motherboards FM2-A55M-E33, the ASRock FM2A75M-DGS Micro ATX FM2 Motherboard or something else?
You whont be playing skyrim with a apu with mods it just whont happen skyrim without mods will bearly play at all
How good are the integrated graphics on the AMD Athlon II X4 645 vs. AMD A6-5400K? I know an independant graphics card is better but I really don't have the extra cash.
XD are you sure your on the right forums?
The Amd Athlon II x4 645 does not have integrated graphics, Its not an APU.
no luck for you sorry

I saw an interesting thing on apu hybrid crossfire, but its above your budget
Go with the MSI motherboard, I have used one for a clients build, has been working very nicely
For the price of hybrid crossfiring you can get an AMD phenom 965 and 7770. No point.
Oh ok, i was curious, having no experience doing hybrid crossfire, thx
