Building A Budget Gaming Pc
Posted: July 14th, 2015, 12:50 am
For the past day I've been gone through painstaking lengths to find parts to build a cheap(ish) gaming PC.
It wont be used for anything other than playing games. I only plan on installing steam, and razor cortex (shuts down unnessecary processes when running games).
Heres the specs I came up with based on trying to get the lowest price point possible.
Will be $594.97 including shipping for the parts (minus the $66 dollar rebate).
Havent ordered anything yet. I'll let you PC building masters tell me if something is incompatible/should be changed.
