WTB Parts

First off my budget is about 80, and i'm not spending it all on one or 2 parts. But right now i'm selling some walmart giftcards on ebay (PM if you want a link, 20 and 25 still up) and i've done it before and they sell for right at the value, so i'll have about that much, and then i have 20 cash i can mail or get a paypal card from walmart with (although those cost like 5 bucks so mailing would be preferred). Ha, listed it like 5 mins ago and one sold :D.

Right now i've been looking at JasonJohnston's for sale thread, something like that would be nice. If nothing else i will probably go for that, but i wanted to see if i could get anything faster for the money right now.

As far as what i want, these are it
  • IDE capable, 2 preferred for hdd and dvd but i can barrow this computers dvd to install things if needed
  • AM2+ or LGA775 or newer
  • Dual core or better
  • 1gb+ RAM, DDR2 most likely, maybe DDR3 if i'm lucky on the mobo

Individual parts are ok and all, it doesn't have to be a combo or anything. Also unless you don't mind paying out the butt for shipping, US only, again, only about 80 for this so shipping is a limitation.

Also i will probably be looking to sell or trade some things soon if i can find anything around with any actual value. Quick interest check though, anybody like Yu-Gi-Oh cards? Also anybody in to cameras, my dad has a Nikon D70 in decent condition, i dropped it once because the straps slip and it hit marble flooring, bt still functions properly, and also the flash no longer works, i was messing with it popping it up and hitting it down repeatedly due to boredom and later i found that it no longer worked, so basically no flash and a few scratches but overall good. anybody interested, not sure on pricing but it probably would come with the original lens, i'm thinking it's a 70 or 80-180 or 200mm.

Well, I have My kingston ram 800mhz(6400), I have two, 1gig sticks how much your willing to offer?
 
Got 12GB of 1333 DDR3 for $40. I could just give you one or two of the sticks for a discount, of course. (If you find a 775 mobo with DDR3, not gonna find a AM2+ one) I still have to put up a 550w antec and I have a 120gb SATA hard drive. See my thread. Shipping from US.
 
I'm still looking and wanting more options, but so far which would be better

This cpu/mobo/adata ram/gpu, can save and get a better cpu later on

or this gigabyte mobo and the 2x1gb's or just 1gb for now, then find a cpu for ~30

http://www.computerforum.com/202610-some-stuff-sale.html

i think i'm leaning towards the second, it has pci-e x16 2.0, supports all the am3's like the 960t or 1100t on latest bios, more ram for less (might grab those either way, good price), pretty good graphics built in, better than anything i got (twice this on passmark actually)?

do you have a hard forum account? A good amount of people sell some mad cheap stuff on there.. just picked up a matx 775 for $20 shipped..
 
You tried craigslist for a full pc set up? Or ebay? May be easier than holding out as obviously there are a lot more people on there :P

An idea to keep in mind.
 
True, i might check craigs, and i've been looking on ebay, but most want full retail, freaking phenom x4 955 was bidded up to like 130 yesterday and was still going i think, had an hour at least left.

checked craigs for atl and macon and nothing, overpriced HP's and other oem, one or 2 overpriced gaming computers, and a gtx 260 for like 75, nothing really.

that sucks, i had started looking at the on-sale Sennheiser HD 280 PROs and if i could get a few extra bucks the 30 buck creative sound card, but of course the headphones have already sold out.

i have been looking, went through the first like 10 pages or more, but they are so old i don't know if they are up to date or anything, whether they are still for sale. plus if you look on the last page i had asked about which of 2 options was better.

I would go with the 775. You can get them some pretty good quads for around $100 when you get the money. Too bad I sold my old build. Could've had a ton of parts.

isn't a 960t around a 100 new though? and it would take a q9400 or higher to about equal in performance.

Actually, that doesn't look too bad, just depends on how much you want for it. I'm trying to figure out which I want right now, but if I do go for jasonjohnston's stuff, I will see how much it will be shipped and see how much I have left for whether i will take his or your cpu I guess (would prob end up offering you 20 or 25 I think, with the heatsink too).

Also, I will prob need some thermal grease for any of these cpus pretty much wont I?

yeah, you'll need some. I have a tiny bit i can include with mine if you buy it. I think I'll be okay with doing 25+S&H for the cpu and heatsink and the thermal paste. You have the choice of heatsinks, I have a normal screw one, and another that just twist in, depends on what motherboard you have.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...-na&AID=10521304&PID=4169961&SID=jnp8cxbhtlv8

that would be the mobo, and also idk about shipping and handling, but with everything else i'm not sure if i'd even have 30 left or what, we'll just have to see.

OK, I made up my mind finally, and if i can work the money out, which I'll find a way to get some more if i must, but i'm gonna try to work out JasonJohnston's deal he offered minus the cpu then whatever's left will go to NyxCharon for his Pentium (not c2d, looked it up) E2160
