Friday i bought a ASUS K8V-X-SE for $50 via Craigslist
Here is what it came with;
ASUS K8V-X-SE 754 Socket Motherboard 2GB max supported RAM
AMD Sempron 2800+ CPU 1.6GHz
Nvidia GeForce 4MX 4000 128 MB Video RAM
400 Watt Power Supply
18 inch Monitor (big like a TV lol)
USB mouse & Keyboard
Not Bad for $50.00 considering the 400 Watt PSU and the full size tower
case with see-Thru panel and plenty of room for upgrades
it needs 4 things to be ready;
1. Motherboard with AM3 socket supporting 8GB DDR3 $50. tigerdirect
2. AM3 socket AMD CPU 3.2GHz $70 tigerdierct
3. 8GB DDR3 Corsair RAM (2x4GB sticks) $44 tigerdirect
4. ASUS 8400GS Video Card 1GB video Ram $40 tigerdirect
TOTAL NEEDED = $203.00 (I have $60.00 saved)
being low budget i saw this on Craigslist so i jumped on it
knowing it only would need max of 4 parts to run GW2
i'll continue to look for reasonable parts as i can
but i'll be happy running GW2 at min/med settings
just to be able to play..i can add better vid card when
finances are better.
any thoughts on whether i got a good deal for $50 or not?
all feedback is welcome and appreciated.
GOD Bless,
Waynos
