3. CTN said this on June 15, 2011 at 5:05 pm Its not hard at all , its actually fun. But it sounds like you dont want to put forth the time and effort to do you own research, rather than just have us do it for you. So, no, I wont tell you what to buy, read some pages and teach yourself. Whos gonna fix it when it breaks? Us again? wrong. (Reply) |

6. William said this on June 15, 2011 at 6:54 pm to the guy above me if you buy one you defianately wont save time or money one if u buy a retail my guess is it will last about 2 maybe 3 months till thoose cheap korean made parts break however if you get a barebone such as this http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4545144&CatId=332 you will never have troubles with it and it could last for several years but you do need a os you could get linux for free or buy a oem disc of ebay and use the serial off a computer you had before if you have one or if your really cheap you could pirate one than ull need a moniter and keyboard thats bout it ud be set and if u wanted to game you’d pretty much have no problems (Reply) |

Kyle J said this on June 15, 2011 at 7:30 pm I am the owner of a business that builds home or office computers and i would say you are not going to get much for $350… you don’t have to be a gamer to need some power behind the motherboard. Like you watching movies without some type of video card or accelerator, that will easily put you over $350. here is what i could find at a glance.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103675 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128399 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820178165 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136195 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130098 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811121001 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817339020 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116511 all of that puts you @ $356.94 no including mouse, keyboard, monitor, speakers… let me know if you had more questions… thelbcomputerguy@gmail.com (Reply) |

8. Scott said this on June 15, 2011 at 7:48 pm here is a good buy for what you plan on doing with your pc….its a little less than 350.00….running a 7750 amd @2.7ghz w/3gigs of pc6400 800mhz ram….just to give you a idea of what you can get for 350.00…. if you have to ask what parts you need to build a pc, your not ready to build one…do a lot of reading and google a lot….buy a cheap pc, like i have listed and learn all the ins and outs of it…try upgrading it also….you will learn a lot and be more prepared to build when you think your ready…. COMPAQ Presario CQ5110F(NP185AA#ABA) Athlon X2 7550(2.5GHz) 3GB DDR2 320GB NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE Windows Vista Home Premium http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883109032 has a open PCIe slot…so if you want to upgrade down the road you have that option for a gpu…..
