[GUIDE] Computer Parts Guide June 01, 2009
i'm going to restart this guide, but with a few changes. instead of a weekly update that i can't really keep up, i'm going to update at the first monday of each month. this means that exact pricing can change during the time between each updates. i'm also going to stop counting mail in rebates entirely, because that changes far too quickly for me to keep track of. lastly, i'll also add monitor recommendations for each system. all this means, is that prices will appear to be higher.
NOTE: operating systems and peripherals will not be included in the prices. all prices are in USD. you don't have to use the exact monitor listed, but what you should take away is the resolution used and base your purchases on that. The Econobox for those who wants to play GW at max settings (1680x1050 resolution, AAx4, AF16) for as little money as possible CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103300 $59.99 motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813128342 $49.99 RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231087 $30.99 case+PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811147030 $64.99 hard drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822136075 $41.99 optical drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827151171 $24.99 video: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814121317 $99.99 display: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824009126 $139.99 final: $512.92 quite possibly the cheapest computer to ever be considered a "gaming" computer, this setup nevertheless packs quite a punch. guildwars should have no issue running on it, and it can even handle most modern games fairly well at that resolution. the HD4770 is also a very strong overclocker, so don't be shy about cranking it up a few notches. entry gamer for those who are on a tight budget, and want as much game as possible.
