Hey all. I'm looking in to building my younger brother a PC. I'm really not trying to spend a lot of money however I'd like to get some basic components that he can upgrade later.
I have good working knowledge of computers and built my previous PC about 5 years ago. I can't remember what exactly I used when building my PC (i'm on my laptop at a different location now) but I know I used an AMD processor and SATA hard drive. That PC which was built 5 years ago has performed beautifully so I'd like to start with an AMD processor and a SATA hd.
My brother will be going in to college next year so he'll probably have to do some programming. He'll probably end up using it to play some illegally downloaded games and watch porn but i'm not too worried about getting the latest and greatest video card.
so I need help building a budget pc using an AMD processor, SATA hd, 1 GIG ram, any mobo, any vid card, any psu, and any case.
I may just get him the processor, ram, hd, and mobo for now.
thanks for reading my long winded post.
