Cheap Gaming PC
Forget the Dell Renegade if you don't have the $10,000 needed to buy it. But don't despair yet for just about 5% of the price of a Renegade, you can have a great gaming machine, thanks to the AMD Budget Systems.
GotFrag Hardware has the details of one such system that costs a total of $500 after breaking down the components.
So let's see the price of each component for assembling the high performance gaming PC.
1. CPU AMD Athlon 64 3000+ for $132.00
2. Motherboard Biostar 6100-M9 $59.00
3. Video Card eVGA 7600GS for $139.00
4. RAM G. Skill 1GB (2x512MB) for $63.99
5. HDD Western Digital Caviar 80GB $47.00
6. Optical Drive Sony 52x CD-RW for $19.99
7. Case (incl. PSU) Aspire ATX Computer Case 420W Power Supply for $39.99
Total $500.00
If you want to upgrade it then you may like to:
1. Replace Athlon 64 3000+ Palermo with 3800+ Athlon X2 (+$163.00)
2. Replace eVGA 7600GS with eVGA 7600GT (+$50.00)
Even then, the price wouldn't have crossed $713.97 after the upgrades.
So what do you think of this? I am sure you would like to give a thought over it, isn't it? After all, all good things have not escaped our planet yet!
