2. My Purpose
I designed my PC for gaming.
Some of the parts were expensive.
The more expensive parts came with
pros and cons.
3. Graphics Card
Sapphire Radeon
HD 6850
960 Stream Processor
PCI express 2.1x16
This particular graphics card was given a
four out of five rating on Newegg.com,
but was priced at only $140.00.
4. Motherboard/CPU combo and
Case
2x240 pin memory slots
Maximum memory supported: 8GB
Integrated dual core E-450, Radeon HD 6320 Graphics
Finding this rather inexpensive ($120.00) motherboard/CPU
combo was surprising for its 5 out of 5 rating.
•Rosewill FBM-01 -Case
•Dual fans Micro ATX.
•Mini Tower
•$30.00
5. Monitor
Acer Widescreen LCD monitor
Original price $130.00
Price I got it for $80.00
Savings $50.00
18.5” screen
6. Extra Accessories
Keyboard/mouse combo
The keyboard is a standard USB plug in,
but the mouse is an Optical mouse and
even though they are together only
$10.00 they are of a good quality.
Headset plus microphone
The headset is not a requirement if you
are into gaming, but since most online
games incorporate chat it is a good thing
to have.
7. Cooling System
Evercool SB-RV Lubricate Rocket V
system cooler, with integrated heatsink
1800-2600 = 10% RPM
40 CFM
It is easily installed and adjusted as
needed. It is cheap at $13.00
8. Finale Costs and Good
Deals
The Monitor was the best deal for an individual
component, with a rebate value of $80.00 from the
original $130.00
The cooling system and memory storage were
very cheap and made integrating these parts very
easy with there wide range of compatibility and
adjustments.
Finally, the best deal was not having any shipping
costs! I had no shipping costs because I bought all
my parts from Newegg.com
Grand total $789.88

Some of the components I bought could have been much less expensive, but with lower quality. Even though they were more expensive they gave better quality and a better gaming experience.
HD 6850 is good for high quality, but not max settings for graphics. It is ideal for a gamer on a budget. 960 stream processing is good especially for a multi tasking gamer. PCI express 2.1 has better qualities to the older versions such as higher maximum system bus throughput, lower 1/0 pin count, and smaller physical footprint.
The dual core E-450 is very fast and reliable and good for gaming and has higher integrated graphics. The case I thought looked pretty cool and was nice to have dual fans.
I got the best savings for an individual component as you can see here and I was very pleased with how that worked out.
The keyboard and mouse are efficient and sensitive for fast in game reflexes and for such a low price was very helpful for my budgeting. The headset has good sound quality on both input and output and looks rather comfortable to wear.
This was rather cheap for a good quality cooling system for just $13.00. It has a good rotations per minute speed and covers a large area in a small amount of time with 40 cubic feet per minute.
I was very pleased with the savings I was able to find! There were some smaller and less notable savings such as ten dollars off the original prices of the motherboard/CPU and graphics card. By far the best deal was zero shipping costs!! This was really nice because I didn’t have to worry about it at all. These aren’t all my purchases, but rather the more notable ones.
