Off Topic / New build for girlfriend

« on: July 29, 2011, 10:49:08 pm »

I ordered the parts, went with amd athlon II x3 at 3.1ghz, 4 gb ddr3 1333, and a pny xlr-8 gtx460. plus new case, 4 purple led fans, new mATX mobo, 650 watt psu (which I got for free from newegg in my last order i placed), dvd r-rw, and a 500gb hdd, grand total?

? *drumroll************* $465.90 with shipping. Not bad for a capable gaming machine I don't think. Couldn't get it here soon enough for it to be a suprise seeing as she is visiting her friend in missouri and I wasn't going to pay 98 bucks to overnight it all lol. So it's all under the guise that I'm building the machine for somebody at work

fun fun

I recently came into some money from selling some unused items. Was going to use the money to upgrade my girlfriends computer. She currently has an intel core 2 duo at 3.0 ghz, 4gb ddr2 ram, and a gts250. I was going to do a complete overhaul, and upgrade to an amd athlon II x3 at 3.2ghz, 4 gb ddr3 ram and a gtx460 of course would require a new mobo. For some reason I just can't justify 400 bucks on it yet seeing as how she's a gamer but more of a casual type. Therefore she doesn't need some powerhouse. I did order the video card. If I take time to do the upgrades I can get her some better stuff. Like a phenom II x4 945 and 8gb ram. Any thoughts?
