so its come to my attention alot of you are without gaming computers for me and my slave armyof1ne and i guess bilo its not a problem but for some of you it is so im gonna make a nice thread on barebone kits under 500 bucks that are great gaming gigs
now im not going to lie now this barebone kit is 400 bucks and will play tribes and almsot any other game flawlessly i have a one gig card in my desktop and i run skyrim on high

that there will beyond a doubt get the job done but well some of you might not want a one gig video card or someone might not like amd so i will put in some cheap stuff you can pick and choose from that when thrown together will make tribes ascend cry on atleast medium settings
this video card is 20 dollars and its in my machine ascend runs 30 fps on high with it
20 BUCKS
www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=149617&CatId=3585
this is a fast little hard drive at 90 bucks that would work good for a OS drive
www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=365474&CatId=5300
so now a data drive
45 bucks 500 gigs any more words about it (well its a refurb but still it gets the job done)
www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1949867&CatId=2459
we all need a case to put this bitch in right unless your going to ghetto put this together and nail it all to plywood which i have seen someone do and it looks badass
CHEAP MAN

ok so now the motherboard ok your might gonna say its a refurb who the shit cares its cheap so if it breaks replace it or something
www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2145984&CatId=6977
that will take i5 and i7 processors the "fastest" in the world right now so good thing its cheap so we can get a good chip for it
now ram YES RAM
your motherboard takes ddr3 up to 8 gigs in one slot here is some very fast very big ram so only one stick of it is needed check it www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7025812&CatId=3473
ram can always be added so assuming 8 gigs isnt good enough you can just add more
now for your cpu a quad i5 is in my machine it never goes above 30 % usage or power or what ever it handles everything smoothly
www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=7073162&Sku=I69-2500
the processor i think is the most expensive thing on this list but dont worry it comes with a heat sink and fan so we can save $$$
now what else um a power supply i think 600w will do the job for everything
www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4362114&Sku=O261-2017
now for getting your OS
and google linux that is a must with a custom built machine
i mean if you cant google ubuntu to find it you shouldnt be building a computer anyways
contact me if you need windows i will walk you through that
now im sure in this i went over the price limit if i didnt that is great now all of you should save up or take out mortage loans or something remember most of these are VERY customizable dont like the video card want a new one go for it different case be my guest i just wanted for the sake of this for it to be cheap so no one has an excuse to not play because of their machine
i will be making another tutorial on server hosting cause im sure james would agree maybe another hoster when shit gets hot for us would be nice take the stress off our connections or atleast mine xD
here are a few more barebones
www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1241992&CatId=333
i just wanna note with this one because of price you can get a fucking sweet video card because its so cheap
www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1262860&CatId=333
and the i3 processor will still get the job done
anoter note with this one very very cheap juts needs a power supply and video card
www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1858584&CatId=333
id get the 600 watt again then invest in saw a 2 gig nvidia card just its up to you rumble let your minds run free just know that there is now cheap gaming computers that are capable of running ascend
