So im looking to build a new computer but im kind of broke i'd like to try and stay under $300. I already have some stuff this is listed below. I havent done this is a while so I honestly don't know where to begin.
I already have a Case - Antec Lanboy (not great but gets the job done) as well as the power supply this came with.
I already have vid card(s) - 2x pci-e BFG 6600gt (dad gave em to me when he upgraded to 7800's)
I have burner/cd rom I can live with for a while until the cash flow increases.
I could probably score a harddrive as well (steal it out of sisters computer as she has some of my components out of my old desktop.
I think im pretty much looking at Ram, Mobo, and Proc. I Really dont have an Intel or AMD preference just whatever i can score cheaper obviously I need somethin to run PCI-e and i dont need the SLI supprt (It would be nice but not needed as the games i play would run more than well enough only running one of the 6600gt's. all games i play iused to play on a radeon 9600pro) If there is anything I'm forgetting please feel free to add it. It's been a long time since I've done a computer and feel just out of the "scene" if y ou know what i mean. Any and all help appreciated.
P.S. - Sorry for the spacing in this post but im on my work computer right now and the spacebar sticks. I sent the request for a replacement through yesterday and have gotten no response yet.
