richcornucopia Posted August 5, 2005 CID Share Posted August 5, 2005 If you want a budget pc I would recommend a Celeron or a Sempron. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nanobot Posted August 5, 2005 CID Share Posted August 5, 2005 [shadow=red,left]I need a 1.4ghz or higher.[/shadow] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted August 5, 2005 CID Share Posted August 5, 2005 Go sempron.. building a P4 based system is a little out of your price range.. i would highly suggest one build on the sempron or the older Athlon XP platform.. They way you can spend a little bit more in the graphic card dept. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanBuren Posted August 5, 2005 CID Share Posted August 5, 2005 $400 or less. Thanks for the welcome hey Dog and welcome to the forum for that money, i suggest a second hand system alot of gamers wants to have the very latest hardware so you should find alot of secondhand systems to a good price.

resopalrabotnick Posted August 6, 2005 CID Share Posted August 6, 2005 AMD Athlon 64 3200+ 2.2GHz Processor, 512MB RAM, 160GB Hard Drive, 16X DVD+/-RW Drive http://www.compusa.com/products/product_info.asp?product_code=23319&pfp=BROWSE 460 after rebates. incl. 17" monitor. maybe not as optimum as the custom stuff, but it includes the software, which is worth in this case around 200 bucks by itself. (xp home, works and smallfry) and that is why the bundled box is the better budget system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
