So with my Extra hardware and 145$ ill have a machine that beats out my old Emachine? ( i used it for music and my friend plays Wow on it when he come up to visit.)

Any one ever use that mobo or vid card? any 1 got any other suggestions that are cheaper?

The Emachine is a Athlon x64 3500+ 2.2ghx with 1.5 gb DDR and a X700 Pro.

Thats a Very basic system, i dont think it would last more than 2 years. If your gonna go for music playing only, go get a Netbook. Netbooks also can play WOW. ig you want a longer lasting computer, it might cost a little more than your current setup, but this is what i have in mind:
MOBO: get a better chipset? and if ur gonna get MicroITX, there wont be much more space for upgrades.
GPU: thats pretty bad, i'd go for a GTS 450
CPU: go Athlon X4
RAM: if your gonna get 2Gb ram, get dual channel memory(2x1GB) with tighter timings, its what AMD likes.

i wanna make use of the Dualcore im taking out of my current system. i dont want to buy a new / diffrent CPU or Ram.

ok, but you still need a better GPU, the 210 is pretty old.

ide like to keep the GPU under 40$ anythings better than the X700 ive been using with the emachine

40$!!!!!!!!!

in that case, i would get a MOBO with integrated graphics rather than getting a cheap GPU.

Lol. ill just stick to my original plan.

This is what i got.

ASUS m4a785-m
AthlonII x 2 250
2gb ddr2

im gonna upgrade it to 4gb ram 2x2gb and get a 5770 when i get the $$

Since i upgraded cases i used my old case to hold this all.

you honestly should have waited half a year or so, so you could afford a nice quadcore and nice gpu, cos atm, ur system is gonna be very powerless by mid-2011

Theivan · Dec 18, 2010

ive got almost 0 cash into this. lol only thing im goign to have to buy is new ram and a vid card. lol i only plan to play WoW and AOE3

Traded sumthing for the mobo..

already had the - case - psu - ram - cpu - hdd - dvd drive

the 785g chipset is quite good for graphics considering its integrated, although thought about the 880G? isnt there some cheap boards with that in circulating right now?

Cheap.. and i mean CHEAP 2nd build
