i rather buy a radeon 240 and spend the money on a better psu
>>
desu i'd put together some sort of meme like this http://pcpartpicker.com/list/9z34qk and then grab a used GPU. you can get a used 670 for like 100 bux. yeah it includes rebates, whatever, fuck you
>>
Pretty good for $400, really. Don't listen to /g/, you've done your own research.

I assume you've got your own reasons for not spending more money.

So, with single games now being 50 GB and over, you think a single 120 GB SSD will be enough storage?
>>
>>55504612
Enough for 2 games and an OS.
>>
>>55504643
Yeah, if you have zero media and other programs on your PC.

And you feel like deinstalling and re-downloading games all the time if you want to play something other than the couple installed right now?

The first PC I built in 2003 had 120 GB for god's sake and even that didn't last long.
>>
>>55504670
But did it have the SPEED and POWER of an SSD?
>>
Look up cheap i3 on ebay for <$60

Look up cheap i5 2500k for about ~$100 on ebay

Look up cheap Radeon 7950 for about t$100.

Buy used computer case from local computer shops for $5-$10

Are you brain damaged?

http://pcpartpicker.com/list/gV74qk

Here I dropped the build down to $300 while using the R7 370 GPU. You can literally substitute it for an Rx 480 to reach the $400 to get 1337 performance. Unfortunately that fucker is sold out everywhere.
>>
>>55502961
get a 60$ GPU and a better CPU instead.

Jesus christ, that pentium is fucking dogshit.

$20 more and you get much better.

370 > 950

You should avoid skimping out on the PSU. 430W is not future proof.

So?
I'm sorry familia but it's a perfect gpu for non-hardcore 15 year old gaymurz with autism.
It can handle all gaymes at full hd and low-medium settings. It's all people need.
Mine after OC can handle bf3 and 1920x1200 res and everything set to ultra.

Athlon x4 845 is pretty cheap and is quad gore too.
Am at the shitterso cant post a build.

>>
>>55502961

Hey that's pretty good, I'd drop the case and use something ancient just for keks and invest in a better cpu or gpu since this pc doesn't need much airflow anyway but yeah overall looks like a comfy pc for that kind of money.

Ask mum to raise your budget.

Seriously don't do this. Go with an actually supported distro and install Steam if you have to.
>>
>>55507113
Wew, not being able to install steam on Ubuntu is heheh.
Seems good besides that.
>>
>>55507113
get rid of that 950 shite. get a 370, or find something used if you really have to

gr8 b8 or you have no idea what you're doing

try looking on ebay or other places to get used hardware at that price point.

>>
>>55503530
That extra 13 dollars on the case could be a huge deal. Most cheap cases are super nasty and to be honest, case and PSU are the two things you don't want to buy a nasty version of.
>>
>>55508385
Uh

>>
>>55508458
You're never gonna get 410W out of a 650W chinkshit PSU. 350W if you're lucky. For 400+W you'll want at least 1000W on the sticker.
>>
Yeah don't put a GPU in it. Total waste of money.
>>
>>55504670
120 gb is not enough if you plan to use windows.
It is faster to compile a full gentoo with kde installation than it is to remove enough data to fit windows on an ssd.
