Well I'm on a tight budget right now but am looking into stepping up into the quad core game finally. Also I would like a new graphics card that is capable of playing GTA 4 and the likes but nothing more.
My current rig is in my sig but its an amd64 x2 5000+ BE 2.6 Ghz, abit kn9 ultra mobo, 2 Gigs OCZ platinum ram, 300 Gig Seagate Barricuda HD, Antec 900 case with additional 80 mm fan, nvidia 8500GT graphics card and 500 watt power supply.
I work and go to school so money is tight and no birthdays or holidays coming up so there is no quick cash on its way to me other than my tax return which is $1200 in the bank(might be able to grab about $200 from there).
Currently I have about $300 and add the $200 from the tax return and that brings me to about $500. So two questions here. How much do you think I could get if I sold my current PC(I figure maybe $200 or so?) and if that sounds about right then could you build me something from newegg or tigerdirect for $500 to $700? I have a monitor so don't need one but will need all the components of a computer. I know I am asking a lot but YOU GUYS know a lot more than I do and you know what is good for the price and what's compatible together.
Thanks in advance, Josh
