Hey guys! A friend of mines needs help building a computer, what are your recommendations for a PC that costs 500-600$ (No Harddrive /windows needed)
Ive seen some deals online I'm sure buying parts and assembling one yourself is much cheaper/price effective.
Thanks for the all the help I can get :)
What is this computer going to be used for braoh

That looks really good! I though the Phenom 4X bottlenecks the 7870 though..

there are a lot of people asking that question, so go look at other forums such as this one

This is what I would do. FX-6300 and 7870 GHz should go very well together, But the old 965 is a good pick too
