Title: PC Building Challenge!
Post by: StuntKing on November 14, 2008, 11:12:45 AM

Dont take this wrong, i dont need a new PC. just wanted to put some activity into this forum.
As you might know, there are thousands of online PC stores around the glob, and your job is to try to build the best PC with the given cash.
basicly, you need to try to squeeze every penny out and build the best possible PC.

Objective:

Build the best Gaming PC with the money given

Budget: 1100$/916€

Rules:
1. the store doesnt have to be in your country. it could be from anywhere around the world.
2. the challenge is to BUILD a pc, do not post links to already-built PC's
3. all the parts must be from the same store. meaning you cant take a GFX card from X store and a CPU from Y store.
4. the money is for a PC only. which includes a case and all the parts in it. you can pass the external stuff like speakers/monitor/KB/mouse etc. software and OS's arent needed either
5. try not to exceed over the budget. it could be 30$ more max.

Once again, this is just a fun challenge.

here's an example of a setup i made on an isreali store:

EDIT: i forgot an optical driver.

Just copied this from the 'build-your-pc' system. i know there are some hebrew stuff in there, but the component names are in english, and 3894 NIS = 1024$. so i couldve squeezed a bit more from it. think you can build something better?

He wants you to find the best computer for the given price. He doesnt want you to actually buy it.
