Low end PC

areksnumbr1sxylady · 15 May 2012 at 16:40

Hi all,

I need to build low budget PC, with processor more powerful than Q6600 and a graphics card that would be able to play something. So any help would be appreciated, Just the full case needed with HD and DVD-drive. No OS needed.

Thank you all

Budget - As low as possibly achievable

I was thinking about 200-300 figure, if that helps.

Budget?

You may say as cheap as possible but without any set budjet adnd not knowing what sort of thing you will be doing it will be difficult.

If you are looking for it to be very cheap then get roughly:
A AMD APU
4GB RAM
No GPU (not needed with the APUs)

NO APU's are faster than a Q6600.
