So, I'm gonna build a new PC computer for my little brother. Nothing at all special, I doubt he'll be using many applications either, apart from Minecraft if possible.

So, what's the best build I can get for around $200? I'm not passing $300 tops.

That's asking a lot even at that budget.
Complete ground up build? Case, keyboard, mouse, OS or what? What exactly all do you need?

For that price your best bet would probably to buy a cheap laptop.

Yeah, I guess it's asking for a lot. I'm not really experienced in the PC building department, so, I'm not really sure what I'm looking for.

I guess the components, judging by Ryan's PC building topic. I also managed to raise the price to $400, if someone still want's to chime in.

By the way, thanks Stinky. I guess I'll be using those, thanks a lot.

The problem with Newegg is, it's for USA/Canada only.

Not a problem. wink.gif

Do you mean that you can buy from Newegg? If so I'll make another build, since parts are much cheaper at Newegg.

Yeah, I got family in the states and I'll be going there October-September-ish, so I can order it and build it while I'm there or bring the parts here.

And, thanks, that'd be awesome.

Price could drop down a little, make sure post at that time.

Anyways I haven't found anything better or cheaper in Newegg wow.gif
