So me and my friend put our heads together for a cheap build ( that I'm like $157 short of... *shakes tin can* ) gaming rig that could play MWO. These are the specs, I'd appreciate comments, and pointers on if I fucked anything up... Also, I know I didn't include a CD drive. I'm going to load the OS onto it via USB if I'm able to buy it.

Keep in mind this is a BUDGET rig, currently priced out to 417 which is the lowest we were able to go and still get playable performance.

 

I build computers and repair and other computer/networking/wiring things for a living
so I can help out when you guys need it

my pick for sweet spot video card is an AMD 6870

 

Looks good but id save up a lil more and upgrade the video card, and throw in a $20 DVD-RW when you can

 

I made a new thread with what I went with. Screw City Skoll.
