Did not see where to say hi so Ill just jump into my build. Building new PC for 1 or 2 games on upstairs TV when wife is playing Farmville. Want price to be under 200 and use whats around the house. Halo and titanfall and sub20 dollar FPS if titanfall sucks.
New: 7870k/MSI A68xxx combo for 130, 8 gig EVGA 2400
Organ Donor: emachines EL1300 for PSU and maybe cpu fan as a case fan.
Case: IBM PS/2 mod 30 or maybe a 50z, Both are in the garage and the 30 had something living in it. I also have bondo.
Pics: First is parts then how far so far and third is inside the 30, any comments sggestion welcome and ummm Hi:)
Thanks, appreciate that. PSU is only rated at 220 watts. I should post some pics of my daughters build. Its much more conservative but her PSU has 380 watts, This may sound weird but I kinda enjoy the challenge of trying to do something for dirt cheap that is kinda cool. Probably why my fav TV show is "fast and loud" .
No I understand completely, I love fixing stuff around the house and I made my rig with all used parts. Shame about the psu, I put everything in pcpartpicker to approximate your build and it came out 176w without the r7 250 241 with...so close xD
