Hey guys im ready to join PC gaming after i realize how much better it is playing on a freinds laptop (He got a Sweet Gaming Laptop)

So im on a Budget and well building my own cpu is out of the question because well it just is lol :p

so im asking your guys help for the best budget PC i can build on ibuypower or similar websites like that if you could point me in the right direction.

I have a copy of windows 7 so thats not a problem.

so my Budget is about 500 through 700 though 700 is pushing it.

is there any way you guys could help my come up with a pc that will be able to run RIFT, Star Wars The Old Republic (my main reason for wanting to PC game lol and FPS'S) Just a good Computer that can run those games and games like Dragon Age and just any newer titels that come out.

thx guys i really appreciate it (really i do)

Do you need a keyboard, mouse, speakers, or monitor?

And with a small budget, I strongly urge you to consider building it yourself. Having a company build it for you will eat up some money that could be used for the components themselves, and every dollar counts with such a tight budget.

:lol: at the pc magicalick did show i almost ad done with IonusX & me Costed 719.99$US : include shipping : all that was missing is the tax it was extremely more powerful then this PC magicallick Gateway on TigeDirect.overpriced.com

it was Athelon II X3 445 Raina :it unlock to X4 most of time it ad a GTX 560 TI OC : Window 7 64 bit OEM (one time use) Computer case & PSU 100$ : Asus 770 64.99$ / DDR3 1600mhz 2x2GB 40$ / 1TB Samsung F3 for 60$ / Asus DVD Drive for 19$ : I dare you to beat that

all that it was missing was a PC builder they are avaible at Micro center / Various other pc place build them for a fee variating from 29.99$US to 49.99$US that the normal price for a PC business

how ever there might have some people who would will to assemble it for 19.99$ If you check a bit and they might even do it in front of you're eye : I would if someone gave me 20-30$ : build the pc together and in front of you :P it easy money and so easy to build :P take a good 20-30 minute getting it all done without a flaw

Don't trust me on this.

I just pick up a build that seems fine. HD5750, 8GB RAM, Phenom II X6. This is a very fast random pick. More expensive than your budget, but, I don't have patients to dig deeper. Sorry.

I disagree. In budget cases ESPECIALLY this one, the GPU needs to take absolute priority. Personally i'd rather go with 4gb RAM, and a regular quadcore either 955 or 965 phenom and then try to get a better GPU

Yep, GPU should take priority over the processor. Also, you are probably going to want 4-8 GB of RAM, about a 500-600W power supply, an HDD with around 500 GB, and just a normal DVD optical drive that you can find for $20 or so. Those things remain pretty constant. The hardest part is finding reliable brands at good prices.
