Hi. I am thinking of building a cheap computer that still has a bit of fun in it.
I was looking on my local trading site and there were some systems with lga 775 core 2 quad cpu's and they seem to be ok.
Here is the current build if I get the parts I want for the right price.
HP XW4600 chassis with a unknown motherboard (hp factory I think) a core2 quad q9400 a 80+ bronze 475w psu. That is going for $100 NZD. There's a MSI GTX 560 for $50 or a GT 240 for $40 if the 560 fails. Then there's a few kits of 4gb ddr2 ram for auction $1~$35 (2x2gb). Then a ssd. I'm thinking a new 120gb for $100~ there's OCZ vertex 460, Crucial bx100 or a Samsung 840 evo. I can always add a 1tb for like $40.
I'm hoping I can the lot for around $280. Let me know your feedback and i'll keep you updated. Cheers
