PhantomOperator - need some cheap gameing comp build help
Ok, where to start....
I built my current computer in November of 2004 and can still rock COD4 (just stripped to the bone)
I got some money back on my taxes this year but spent a good chunk of it on a 23 yearold stripper (she was worth it, single dads deserve some fun sometimes too).
Now i have some left and need to build up something to last me for a while.
I'd like to go with:
Phenom II Quadcore 3GHz +
DDR3 Memory
The hard part:
I need to find a good mobo with decent on-board video and at least 1 PCIE x16 slot for a later graphics upgrade.
sound does not matter, I use a USB headset.
On-board NIC would be ok (if not i have extra cards)
USB 3.0 if i can (for future use)
Also I need a good O/S hardrive (nothing crazy big but fast would be great)
and i need a power supply that will do the job and have enough to power the later graphics card.
Any suggestions, recomendations, or advice would help.
I'm looking at barebones / DIY kits for added value but have not yet found a good combo.
total price range needs to stay in the low hundreds, and i'm not looking for the best of everything just a reliable update with room to expand later.
Thanks for any help >XI< + friends

Does your computer still have the video of the 23 old stripper? If so help may be on it's way. LOL
