What you need to Build a Budget Computer 2018. $600 or less.

in #computer6 years ago

I am going to do a write up about what parts you could buy and throw together to make yourself a NICE, FAST, Computer for as little money as possible. If you just want a nice updated machine, to play a few games, NOT A POWERFUL GAMING RIG, then this is the PC for you.

I am going to set my Spending limit to $600 or less.

All parts will be linked to where you can purchase them at Newegg.com to make it very simple to build this exact machine for yourself, a friend, college student, or anyone else.

So lets start out with a COMPUTER CASE

Hope it can mine Bitcoin

lol I would NOT recommend mining Bitcoin with it. The power needed to mine Bitcoin is extremely high, this is a Budget oriented computer, Not really suited to mining.
