urbex Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Thanks for all the replies! Just to clarify, I have little technical expertise when it comes to assembling my own hardware - that's why I was thinking of a prebuilt rig. And I don't need this to run lots of high-end games - Fallout is about as deep into gaming as I'll ever get, most likely. An OS is also not a concern, as I have no love for Win 7. XP suits me just fine. It looks as though I can customize the rig I linked to for something near my budget after all, and not break the bank. Much obliged for the help! :thumbsup: JerriecanIt definitely doesn't require technological expertise, you're just plugging stuff in. a ten minute youtube video will teach you everything you need to know. I strongly recommend you don't buy a prebuilt, it will cost more and won't be upgradeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghogiel Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 Exactly, it is just plugging a bunch of things in. It'll take longer setting up windows. Surely you have a cousin or friend to help you.. offer me dinner and I'd come around and build it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Illiad86 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 (edited) And if you knocked off the sound card and windows that would have only been about $600, giving you room for a non combustible PSU. you're funny :rolleyes: .....like I said, it's running all this and has NEVER had a problem...just because it's not a Thermaltake or an Antec and cost double to triple the amount doesn't necessarily mean it's a pile of garbage.... Yep, you can unlock the X2 as long as they are black editions and the motherboard supports Advanced Clock Calibration :thumbsup: Edited May 30, 2011 by Illiad86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
