Hi all,
I am planning on upgrading to a faster computer within the next month or so. If anyone is bored/kind enough to throw in some advice it would be greatly appreciated.
what I am looking for is:
2.9 ghz+ processor
6+ GB memory
500+GB hard drive
I am hoping I can find something like this under $300.
Is it cheaper to just buy parts and figure out how to put it all together? I am not very savvy on doing that kind of thing, but if I have to figure it out I will eventually.
The closest thing I have found is on techforless.com and eBay. Both sites will sometimes have something I am looking for close to my price range, but I have yet to find something that seems to be a perfect match in price and specs.
Any quick thoughts/comments?
Thanks! Happy hunting!

I really really hate to be the bearer of bad news...but unless you buy cheap brand crap that comes with the "90% chance to break in a week" guarantee this is probably not going to be possible. And even then it's gonna be cutting it close =/. At the very least if you're buying EVERYTHING and starting from scratch. Now just for the CPU, RAM and HDD it's plausible...again, if you buy cheap.
As previously stated Newegg is where to go.
