Computer for the Parents

[FMod]

all above around 450$

Right off the bat it doesn't strike me as a good deal.

E6600 cost $80 when they were new... now, $25 maybe

Mobo, say $60 (used value <$30)

RAM, $30

GT440, $20 used but $50 new

HDD, $70

DVD no idea, $20?

+$10 PSU

Case, $80

Was there something else?

I found a dvd drive for under 20$ and funny enough i have it, my lg died a year ago and it hasn't failed me yet, kind of a last minute decision.

and HD which can be a tad harder to find really cheap, but i may have found one that might suit your needs and just a tad slower then your average ssd :teehee:

 

100$

Market here isnt same as you have, 450$ is just a conversion and old things means "you have to pay more"!

 

there is no HDD under 80$(160gb) and they removed 2 year warranty saying there was a tsunami in taiwan (LOL)

the Price of gtx 560 Ti here is 300 (1gb) 350 (2gb) , I bought months ago @ 275 :whistling:

If there is raise in $ they increases the price but never reduce if fall
