BYOPC - GAMING

My Purpose

I designed my PC for gaming.

Some of the parts were expensive.

The more expensive parts came with pros and cons.

Graphics Card

Sapphire Radeon HD 6850 960 Stream Processor PCI express 2.1x16

This particular graphics card was given a four out of five rating on Newegg.com, but was priced at only $140.00.

Motherboard/CPU combo and Case 2x240 pin memory slots Maximum memory supported: 8GB Integrated dual core E-450, Radeon HD 6320 Graphics

Finding this rather inexpensive ($120.00) motherboard/CPU combo was surprising for its 5 out of 5 rating.

•Rosewill FBM-01 -Case•Dual fans Micro ATX.•Mini Tower•$30.00

Monitor

Acer Widescreen LCD monitor Original price $130.00 Price I got it for $80.00 Savings $50.00 18.5” screen

Extra Accessories

Keyboard/mouse combo

The keyboard is a standard USB plug in, but the mouse is an Optical mouse and even though they are together only $10.00 they are of a good quality.

Headset plus microphone

The headset is not a requirement if you are into gaming, but since most online games incorporate chat it is a good thing to have.

Cooling System

Evercool SB-RV Lubricate Rocket V system cooler, with integrated heatsink

1800-2600 = 10% RPM 40 CFM

It is easily installed and adjusted as needed. It is cheap at $13.00

Finale Costs and Good Deals The Monitor was the best deal for an individual

component, with a rebate value of $80.00 from the original $130.00

The cooling system and memory storage were very cheap and made integrating these parts very easy with there wide range of compatibility and adjustments.

Finally, the best deal was not having any shipping costs! I had no shipping costs because I bought all my parts from Newegg.com

Grand total $789.88
