Build a PC under $1000

Well im done with this stupid compaq from 2001. no upgrades to it. cant play Guild Wars anymore because it crashes. has not even 1GB of RAM or anything. i swear its the worst pc ive ever had.But I'd like to get rid of it. But my family uses it and they dont want to part with it at all. And im a gamer and I really want to play Team Fortress 2 and i want to play Guild Wars again. So on the TF2 board, they told me to come here for help.Im looking for a pc that could run TF2 and GW and all this cool stuff for under $1000. But im a complete n00b to computers and you guys make me feel small with you gtx.947 and core duo stuff that im lost :/I can get a monitor from my neighboor, he wont mind giving me his 30 inch for free, hes a great guy, but its just the pc for tf2 GW, crisis, SPORE,COD4 and all these cool games are out of my reach because i am clueless to building computers.So please PC Hardware Discussion Forum People- Help me build a PC!PleaseBuild a PC under $1000
30'' for free? :shock: Well i guess you can play the games letterboxed :? You'll need serious horsepower for a 30''

E7300- $120

4GB RAM- $80

Decent 5-600W Enermax, FSP, Corsair, Seasonic, Silverstone PSU - $100+

Decent size Western Digital or Seagate HDD-$80

SATA DVD drive - $30

Asus/Gigabyte/Biostar P45 mobo - $130+

HD4870 or GTX260 core 216 - $300



Do you have an OS already?

Whatever case Build a PC under $1000
if you talka bout 30 inch 2560x1600 youw ill need eral horse power
anyway il tell you a better deal Replace E7300 by E8400 for 40$ more
Stick same number of ram that my mate X360PS3AMDd05 say
decent size hdd = 80$
SATA dvd drive is defintyl 30$
A P45 mobo = if you don't crossfire according ur not playing higher then 1280x1024 then avoid Crossfire i guess
if you seek Crossfire Get X48 For Gaming
The Video card Depend of resolution you'r gonna play
1680x1050 = get someting decent for all high
1920x1200 no choice to lower setup unless crossfire / 4870x2 / Sli Setup
2560x1600 LOL good luck :D that thing is hell consumation :D

if under 1280x1024 stick wtih HD4870 1G Edition or GTX 260 Core 216
Else Econmy money and buy ur Self a 4870x2 / or SLi 260GTx / Sli 280GTX there many Setup as long you do play higher then 1280x1024 then you should think about 4870x2 or multiple card after-times Before they get Revisioned / Shrinked
Or ul have to buy Trough ebay
Yup for native res. he'll need 4850x2 or 4870x2, but those are $450 and $550 :o
yep it why econym money if you play on 2560x1600 :
else play on 1920x1200 lowered gameplay Experiancew with single card you barely can get 35fps+ on most of game at max setting for 2008 it why it impossible to play most of game of new Without Two Card unless you'r playing WoW / Lineage II
with 60fps + but it still playable 35fps. it just depand of ur budget if you can save more money and get better piece or get straigh to the gaming with a video card X360 mentioned
Wouldn't usually reccomend eday, but this is a terrific deal right now, and you wouldn't have to worry about building it if you're new to the concept.Rig
actually its a 20 inchtypo!his 30 inch is what hes using for his computer.but i dont care its better then buying one. :p
well 20 inch with 1680x1050 ? OR 1440x900 ? look the native resolution by plug it to ur pc or know the model of the monitor
such as if it was Samsung 2220WM a 22inch 1680x1050 but 20 inch don't know if it got 1680x1050 haven't seen then much
its on best buy heres the link-http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8643961%26type=product%26id=1195598242810and its actually 22inchesbut whatever i didnt think it would matter but just to be sure...
Not that this will be any better than a pre-built, but if you're not comfortable building yourself, you could always get this.
Its a good PC i think. but to upgrade it to 4GB of RAM did he say you need 2 sticks of 2GB?I think i might buy that for christmas. ill probably rake leaves this fall and shovel for the elderly for the winter.

[/QUOTE]1. Learn proper English2. Reccomend me a desktop for the same price with more power. He may not want to build himself, so this is a very good bargain for the price. I personally prefer building, but if he doesn't want to, I'm not going to reccomend a $2000 Dell with the same specs.
I dont know alot about Pcs and stuff but when you say BUILD a Pc am i wiring it and stuff, or am I just buying parts for a computer.Like say i buy a $400 dell. I buy new RAM,video card, etc. And im good to go?
you can make ur won if you want real power it easy. you can even have some shop to build it for you for 30$ if you'r in uninted state or canada there mujst be pc build shop around or you can follow the step pretty good else try find a good deal on ebay or someting. i donno where to search for pre-build with a good E8400 / Video card cause for that 700$
youd have better

If youve never built your own it may be good to find a local computer store that you feel is hones or something and go in and talk to whoever works there and ask them any questions. My biggest tip is HONESTY, you may pay a little more but if you know what you need you can go somewhere else.Ive looked up some basics and im not an expert but this will get you startedI do know that your best bet is to buy your CPU and your board together to avoid any confusiona board with cpu can run from $100-500 Heres an EVGA nForce 780i SLI ATX Board with Intel Core 2 quad-$420 Youll need Memory heres Corsair - Value Select 1GB PC5300 DDR2 SoDIMM Notebook Memory for $51 (you may want two so) $102. Video Card, Diamond Radeon HD 4870 XOC Video Card-$270Power Supply, Corsair TX750W 750-Watt Power Supply - ATX, 140mm Fan, SLI-Ready, SATA-Ready-$110DVD Drive, HP dvd1035i DVD Writer (Retail) -$25Cases, No recomendation what ever you think is cool but ill put in a price-$75Your total Price-$951 for the basics still need a few odds and ends, hard drive and some cable can be picked up cheap hope this helps and this isnt what you have to get this is just something i put together and i think that every thing matches together.
ripopff gthe cpu and mobo combo you can get E8400 + P45 for less money that kill 780i in the nut and for 30$ more you can get or same money a 1GB 4870 That is far better then XOC
psu they are good price : Dvd Driver good price : case CM 690 / Antec 900 / 75-120$
motherboard P5Q P45 Id say + E8400 350$ / 320$
tigerdirect are no more honest seller most of time. you should aim newegg all the time or frycomputer for video card / cpu if im right while tigerdirect.ca is another story they are bad recently :)

the 1GB edition is better for several reason
http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2008/10/22/zotac-geforce-gtx-260-amp2-216-edition/7
i think even non 1280x1024 it good but it shown much better on 1080P i'm not a true specialist in how work 4870 512meg oc vs 1GB but apparently 1GB is better or Zotac %26 EVGA OCX or zotac 260GTX 216 c0re edition amp2 / OR max core for around 280-320$US
30'' monitor wow you are going to need more than one GPU for that
he said typo meant 20 inch.
Well here in minnesota i dont know where a computer store isbut in lakeville a couple miles away at a store called ''world of games'' they sell,buy, ad rent games and are computer specialist.do you think they would have any idea?
