Build me a CPU for $300

I don't know where to start

Can you help me build a desktop for $300

If it goes a little over or under it doesn't matter.

Preferably Newegg.



I'm going to be needing the Keyboard, Mouse, & Moniter also.

But I think I'd have to get more money first.



Can you help me

thanks

do you need an operating system?

No that I have.

I have the OS.

I just need a simple basic computer, not going to play any games either.

Thanks

Here's a basic build for ya, has everything you wanted but a monitor.

That comes to a little less than 300 but should be about 300 after shipping is added in.

no way you could go dual core for that price...

the reviews are saying the PSU is not so good...

the power supplies that come in cases are never any good, in addition that board supports dual core, so that could be swapped out easily.

No, No, No, for processor don't stick him with the old Netburst architecture, the Core has almost the same price. My build is Dual Core, too.

As for a case & PSU, pick one yourself and let us take a look at it.

Don't let the low speed on the processor fool you, my Pentium 4 is 3.2Ghz and a Core 2 Duo E6300 1.86Ghz whips it badly. It is just the speed comparison between the two microarchitectures.

1+ for that one but upgrade to 1gb of ram as fast as you can!
