Suvega's Brain dump thread. (Will be updated alot, just need a place to post all of this)[/url])

And in it he mentions that you can build a relatively powerful computer for around 500 bucks..... ok i'm intrigued by this..

I've got $1k coming to me but don't want to spend all of it building a new computer (ok actually I do.. my wife however has other ideas)

So what i'm looking for is a "relatively" powerful PC that i can build up for around 500...

any input would be appreciated..
Realistically, how many copies of WoW are you going to run?

You probably already have a pc, cannibalize that if possible. If you can recycle the case/ps, keyboard, mouse, monitor, hard drive, CD player (do you really need a DVD burner/player) and Windoze you are way ahead of the game.

Take stock of what pieces you have, list them here and we can help.

IMHO, you don't need the biggest baddest video card.
