Project Sunshine-Gamer

I am beginning my desktop overhaul. I hope by the end of the summer, I will have a new and next gen gaming PC. I already have 3 gigs of RAM but that may move to 4 by September. I am very low on cash and I am looking at a $245 minimum budget for both a new CPU and a new GPU.

This is the CPU I know for sure I am getting in the coming weeks:

This appears to be the GPU I am going to get after:

I am working with this machine for the time being and will update this thread when I make changes:

Wish me luck

Why don't you get one of intel i3 cores

Because I don't really like the intel processors. Plus this is right in my price range, and its easy to overclock.

EDIT: I may be getting an entirely new PC. Which is even harder than upgrading this one xD

Oh right

Well goodluck on your new computer soul

This is what I hope to get:

Sorry for the double post, but heres an image of the customized one I hope to get:

I just need some serious Ram for my computer...lol

4 gigs will do it

Hell yeah it would. Wish i had 4 gigs in my system lol

RAM is freaking expensive!

Noooo shit. Where do you expect to get all the money needed for that computer? lol

I figured, I can pay 100 dollars now, and I usually get something around 300 or 400 bucks for both christmas, and my birthday, thats 800.

That'll be a while dude lol...

Or an early gift.

Yeah, that would work as well.

I just need to wait for a good bargain.

Save up dude. That's all I can tell ya.

Piece o' cake
