I sold my "super duper" gaming rig when work was taking up so much of my life, that I didn't have time for games anymore. When things settled down, I threw together this rig on the very tiny budget I had back in April. Dug around really hard and managed to get the CPU, motherboard, video card, memory, and the case all for just $200 plus shipping. The hard drive, optical drive, and power supply I already had, just sitting on the shelf unopened in factory packaging.The case came with a 450W power supply, but I'm not a big fan of bundled cases and PSUs, so I swapped it out immediately for something I trust.
I do say though, for the tiny budget (relative to some of you people with out-of-this-world gaming rigs ) it handles games surprisingly well. I of course did my research on each of the parts I was buying, and was honestly quite skeptical of some of the figures I was looking at, but sure enough it performs quite well!
