There was a $500 budget gamer build on Tom's Hardware (April 2008), but in was by no means a PC that plays Crysis on High settings.

It also didn't include networking capabilities, any input devices (mouse/keyboard), or an OS. The video card was only a 384MB 8800GS, but for about the same price today, you could pick up a 9600GT.

Realistically speaking, $700 would be a more comfortable budget that would actually provide a complete working PC without cannibalizing components or an OS from an older one.

Knocking a $100 of the build due to "re-using" a copy of an OS is not a legal solution assuming you're planning on running more than one PC on the same license, which many do anyway.

I thought all modern motherboards had LAN already, hmmm...

All of the above for a total of $500.90. Do I win something?

 

how much will it cost to put them together? I don't remember console company shipping you all the component and make you put them together, no?

and shipping?

 

wow... 80GB of harddrive. you sir sure are generous
