Hey great specs for $200

#

It’s fine if you don’t want to say but I’m wondering what country

It looks great for working with what you had.

well thanks, with a fresh bios & windows install I was able to constanly get around 125-225fps on CS2/val, which is great since those are cpu heavy anyways

you could save a bit by not using windows

#

then you could use the extra 500 ish to get a 1tb hard drive or 16 gb of ram

unfortunately the motherboard supports 2 dimm slots only, so i would have to replace them with a 2x8 module kit, which should be like at least about 25-30$, but since the budget was tight I did not, 2x4 in dual channel is running fine, I did not build this for me btw

#

yeah that is my point if dont use windows (im assuming it is part of the budget) than you save like $50

#

you could go with a free linux distro
