Hadoe


My motherboard is an "Asus M2N68-LA". I want to be able to play games like Bioshock and CSS, also Portal. It needs to be low profile or low profile ready because I have a slimline case. Also it would be really nice if it were under like 50$.


Answer
Let me guess - you've got a slimline HP or Compaq PC.

The best low profile card out there is the Radeon HD 5570 - but it runs closer to $80. The 5450 is right around $50, and will just meet the minimum video specs of Bioshock and Portal
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=2010380048%20106793261%201419531894&bop=And&ShowDeactivatedMark=False&Order=PRICE&PageSize=20

The 5450 is a power sipping 19W card that will go into almost any system without trouble. The 5570 pulls around 43W, so it might be a strain if you have a very small power supply typical of those slimline PCs.

What are the best parts for a gaming pc on a $1200 budget?

Lookin to build my own pc, but not sure what's the best parts are to use


Answer
For a gaming pc.

CPU: You would want to start with a 2500k processor, since it easily fits in your budget, and it's one of the best for gaming. (~220$~)

Motherboard: I would suggest this one: the ASRock P67 Extreme4 gen3. It's a P67 chipset, so it can be overclocked, it has support for 1155/1156 heatsinks as well as as the 775's(I think it's the 775). This board also has 2 PciE 3.0 as well as 1 PCIe 2.0 slot, so this board leaves your compatible to video cards that will come out later on. Also, it has a motherboard connector for the front usb 3.0's.(this is just the motherboard I recommended due to it being future proof, you really should look for one that has the features you need). (154$+)

Case: well, this is really down to what you like.

GPU: for your video cards, you could fit 2x HD 6950 2GB's in your budget which would run really great. ( around 500$, depending on what brand)

Power supply: to run 2x 6950's I would at least 750w to be safe. The corsair tx750 v2 would probably do you well. (115$)

Hard drive: you really don't need a 6gb/s hard drive as no hard drives today can fully saturate the sata 2's 3gb/s bandwith. Unless you can find one for around the same price as sata 2's, it wouldn't be worth the extra money. You can get 1TB hard drive's for around 60$

Finally, Ram: you can get 2x 4GB sticks of ram for about 50-60$, you really don't need any sticks faster than 1600.

For all the parts, Newegg.com has very good prices on computer items, so there would be a good place to start =) You can get any case under 100$ and still be at your 1200$ budget.
