Is it possible to build a good gaming computer for less than $500?
I read the first page but I didn't see any questions like that.
$300 could give you a decent gaming rig. $500 is more than enough...unless that includes accessories (mouse, keyboard, monitor).
I'm pretty sure $300 can't, It's pretty impossible. Unless, you had like, amazing connections or something.
It's poosible if you add 50$ to the 300,according to this guide.
I was afraid you were going to link that, It's not a decent computer, and only gets those frames on the lowest settings possible. It also only uses onboard video, so the crossfiring thing is BS. Even if you could use Hybrid crossfiring, it's only even an available option for the really crappy GPUs. Even then, it's a horrible option for gaming. HDD's cost is mainly the actual HDD, not for the memory's worth, so for about an extra half, you can get yourself a terrabyte, no-one should ever suggest a 250GB HDD unless it's absolutely nessecary, because at that price, it's nowhere near as good as value you would get for 4 times the amount of space.
It's probably the best you can get for the price, but it really isn't any good if you're hoping for something that can game.
