NO, Get the Athlon 64 3800+ X2, its cheap and good. 6800(GT) would do well.

Hard Drives are cheap from Tigerdirect or Ncix.

Yeah man the pieces you say are good but he says he need a budget PC if he buys a AMD 64 3800+ X2 + Motherboard + Hard Drives + Monitor + Geforce 6800 (GT) + Case + Peripherals + Windows XP and some more Software needed it will surpass the 1300$ he says he has.

Altough i do have to tell you something you should buy a motherboard with socket 939 support and an AMD 64 socket 939 to have the possibility to upgrade in the future because if u buy an AMD 64 socket 754 ull have to forget the possibility of upgrading in the future without changing the motherboard.

A GeForce 6600 GT is a pretty good GFX card and costs 160-190$ if you want a cheap and good GFX card buy a 6600 GT.

No it won't. He could get 6800 very cheap, athlon for about 350, HDD for about 200-300 (both together) and if he has an OS already then just load that. XP is cheap now, like under 100 bucks in some spots.

Just has to shop around, buy wisely.

All right i thought an Athlon 64 X2 would be more expensive but if its only 350$ as conker says go for it. :happy:

Worked well for me.

I built mine for around 1100.

Of course I didn't get a monitor either.
