Building My Custom Gaming PC For Only $300 (old)

[dkhunter011]

I wouldn't call you a noob for back then. I mean you had a hard price to match, and still managed a good system. Plus you built your first system, if you can build a computer, then your not a noob.

[dacasman]

@dkhunter011 Thanks for the nice comment friend : )

[camdevtube]

The cat was pretty funny. He was looking at the case like "Wow man, this computer is the shiznits!"

[TheBig117]

[5468295]

[ImDeathNote]

[dacasman]

@ImDeathNote no

[ronniereiff]

@dacasman Are you still using that heat sink?

[ultragaming1993]

lol nice and that cat lol XD

[jacobthebluetoon1]

ur better than me at making PCs i used an old PC Case and called it a Dell Inspiron 530s

[Landak36]

hey so cute your cat. :D

[OpiumWarz]

aaah dont you ever remember the good old days?

[arcadefirerocks]

ATI 3200? LOL! HAHA! I didn't last two weeks on a 3200! I bought a 4670 almost right away! And I still have it, chugging along in my budget rig next to a single soon to be dual soon after that quad core CPU. :)

[dacasman]

@arcadefirerocks 3200? who said I had that? I had a 4850. the motherboard had a built in 3200 but i never used it

[arcadefirerocks]

@dacasman Oh... Well, they're awful anyway. I hated mine. But, it's good you didn't waste your time on one back then. What do you have now?

[dacasman]

@arcadefirerocks I have a gtx-470 : )

[Downperth]

@arcadefirerocks thats right hater.

[arcadefirerocks]

@Downperth I wasn't being a hater. I was just sharing my experience with low-end cards.

[miro995]

@arcadefirerocks Hello whats a good Budget Motherboard? Considering you have a Build Im trying to ask around for peopls opinions I want a motherboard that will atleast last 1-3 years not 1 month then it breaks down lol i hate risking it. Price around 100$ or at most 150$

[dacasman]

@miro995 If you're going with intel, I would say the ASUS P7P55D-E LX would be perfect!

for AMD I would get the MSI 870A-G54

Both are awesome brands, cool looking, and have crossfire/sli support. and you can find both for under $100

I really think thats as good as its gonna get for $100

[miro995]

@dacasman Will these motherboards be able to handle it if its on 24/7 cause i dont like turning my computer off so i leave it on 24/7 usually. will it pretty much take a dive after a few months like that? or weeks. X_X

[miro995]

@dacasman Also I found a motherboard on Newegg and saw alot of Good Reviews it also has a integrated ATI Radeon HD 4200 Will that play games like The Sims 3 On high Settings or fallout new vegas on high or medium?

[dacasman]

@miro995 i think that will play the sims 3 on medium without lag. I'm not sure about fallout though

[5468295]

about the cooler, i got a ASrock am2+ mobo and a zalman am2 cooler i fits perfectly without a bracket you should try it if you didn't sell it ;)

[dacasman]

thanks for the tip but i gave this computer away to friend quite a while ago

[nismoking1994]

Nice, I have the same motherboard

[MrD0m3xD]

i got socket 754 and nvidia gt 220 pci-e and mw2 and css works fine on high ^.^

[tjmccomas]

KITTY!!! kitty wants to be a part of that computer

[OpiumWarz]

yea all first computers are like this, including mines lol...

[deccno]

soundcard costs this much...

[dacasman]

@deccno i know, its sad isn't it. the video card in my new computer was that much too

[deccno]

@dacasman yes its sad and when you see the bill you get even sadder..

[dacasman]

@deccno nah, my bill is not too bad. its like $80 a month.

[deccno]

@dacasman the quetion is: How long?

[maximevhw]

how do you get a free case

[Turprono3andAhalf]

[Turprono3andAhalf]

[UnboxingForTheWin]

@Quoteuful

this video is 2 years old, you fucking idiot.

[Sergioterol]

DEar god it sucks, lol. I mean... windows xp for gaming? you mus had done this video before windows vista service pack 1 or something...

[dacasman]

@Sergioterol yeah, I know it sucked. this was my first pc.

[shiveringstar21]

@dacasman well xp is better cause it doesnt waste that much system resources like:

EX:XP USES 200 MB OF RAM FOR SYSTEM VISTA USES NEARLY 512 MB OF RAM

CONCLUSION:PLAY GAMES YOU CANT IN VISTA

this is why xp is sometimes better :)

[klote2314]

@shiveringstar21 conclusion get rid of both vista and XP

and buy/download windows 7

XP is gonne get less support the oncomming years for instance NO OFFICIAL DX10 AND DX11 support

BF3 will only run on Vista and Windows 7

Multicore technology wil only be fully used when using Windows 7 or vista

No tesslation on Windows XP

those are HUGE improvements on windows 7 that xp is lacking!

[dacasman]

@klote2314 dude, I appreciated the advice, But I already have windows 7. I already have a whole new PC. Click on the link at the beginning of the video. This thing is an old piece of crap. I gave it away to a friend.

[klote2314]

@dacasman it wasnt directed to you lol

it was directed to every noob that says XP is better then windows 7

it isnt...

[dacasman]

@klote2314 OOOOh okay :D

I completely agree with you though.

[shiveringstar21]

@klote2314 I mean get xp if you are on a REALLY tight budget.

xp costs way less than 7

[420KushSmokin420]

@dacasman awww ook at the cute witle kitty

[Docthewrench]

@Sergioterol Win 7 lol ya know I work for compuserve and we already got windows ummm well never you mind but win 7 is already outdated which is sad wait a year you will see, I been trying to get this windows ummm to run some games drivers are the issue but it took this old computer here and really woke it up just wait, this version will bring to live old machines and make you go WTF

[Sergioterol]

@Docthewrench OMFG! Really? is there any beta on thins windows #$(/$% ? I would really like to watch it workin, btw, thx on the update!!!!

[Docthewrench]

@Sergioterol There is lol relax its a bit buggy but yep remember new OS start at the launch of a new one.

[Sergioterol]

DEar god it sucks, lol

[1john1992]

The green sleeve is actually kinda cool.

[dacasman]

@1john1992 yeah, it's just that I did a really bad job putting it on. It was mostly held on by blue painter's tape xD

[darkgaiasonic]

gettin my stuff i hopefully a week for 120$

mobo

amd athon 11

ram 2g

[mrsubscribe11]

what i would recommend is buying a barebone kit from tigerdirect, get a bootleg operating system, and a good graphics card. Cheap gaming PC for you noobs.

[XXriddick1XX]

wow nice, but willl it still play eraly games like black ops, bc2, stuff like that can you list me the parts ?

[dipswad1]

KITTY KAT!!

[bradrhoades102840]

cant beat 300$ good job :)

[CRAZYCOLOURSWAG]

[dacasman]

@CRAZYCOLOURSWAG i hate cat haters

[CRAZYCOLOURSWAG]

@dacasman looks like were not going to be best friend ... but i really like ur pc !!! 

[CRAZYCOLOURSWAG]

@dacasman I HATE YOUR NAN

[xxMuS1C4L1F3xx]

@dacasman i hate cat hater haters

[ultragaming1993]

@dacasman Haters gonna hate XD haha just kidding :P

[CricketboyStudios]

@CRAZYCOLOURSWAG I eat cat haters for breakfast.

[CRAZYCOLOURSWAG]

@CricketboyStudios u need help

[Reiincarnation]

$300 COMPUTER RUNNING CRYSIS? OMG WTF O.O

[breethwithme]

just buy a ps3 and upgrade it with a 500gb hard drive for 35 bucks on ebay. and get a 4tb external hd. never need anything else again. all your gaming and media stuff you ever need. but very nice computer beats the shit outta mine lol

[dacasman]

@breethwithme thanks for the suggestion, but i already have a ps3. and an xbox 360. they never get used really. only for games i cant play on PC like halo and little big planet and other games like that. but still, i havnt played my ps3 since summer and the last time i played my xbox was when halo reach came out. i dont really like using analog thumb sticks for a fps games either. just a personal thing. pretty much any PC gamer would agree with me on that one.

[3SnakeSolid]

@dacasman Eh if you're not doing some intensive gaming then numpad is fine :) but other than that i agree :)

[indoom666]

@breethwithme Ps3's and computer gaming are two different things. I have both. But if i had to choose PC is overall better. My graphics card is more then a ps3.

[ObviouslyRyan]

Yeah, but can it run tetris?

[ManicLeo]

@ObviouslyRyan good luck if i were u i'd wait another few years b4 u can do that kid

[DarthSithShem]

Can it play Kotor or Kotor 2 or Morrowind ?

[dacasman]

@DarthSithShem yep : )

[indoom666]

@DarthSithShem any computer made in 1999 can play morrowind

[james782004]

So where does the cat go in the pc? :)

[masonbass360]

for a split second your cat looked like a kawala lol!!! But nice computer build bro!!

[LegendofDelzaLol]

should've gotten a modualr power supply - so you wouldn't have to CUT any wires lol

[BeconMovies]

Holy shit, that can run WaW? My computer cant even run tf2.

[gerry410]

good job



[aidenscool09]

Put RAM on carpet, have fun booting.

[TheID3000]

CUTE CAT :DDDD and nice computer :P

[WoWOfficialVideos]

cheap ass bastard hehe :P

[dacasman]

@WoWOfficialVideos yeah wait until i put up a video of my new computer in a few days. definitely not a $300 budget. xD

[FantasyX3I]

@dacasman smart build xD

[cannabischarlie]

you sure went half assed in the memory department, other than that, sweet build for a low price! pc gaming isn't really more expensive than console gaming most of the time

[daco1998]

nice pc

[NoOdL3z18]

i managed to slap a full gaming quad core pc together off newegg for $280. AMD Athlon x3 425 unlocked to x4. very cheap quad core, but sometimes the 4th core is bad, 3 cores is still good enough though.

[tallyhoman911]

good song :D

[Orannnnis]

is the kitten free too?

[RelentlessxGamers]

Please do not put RAM on the carpet.

[IamDuhmb]

Budget Gaming FTW!

[nyaligatoraron]

how did you get all the free parts man? pretty cool rig!

[EcBuddy123]

screw the build look at the kitty!! lol j.k nice build for 300

[kawasaki228]

Your cat mustbe jealous of your pc

[guotinproductions]

epic cat small cat you got there :D

[NoChikenStrips]

you know for a few extra bucks, yours look alot better than mine : D

[dacasman]

@NoChikenStrips check out my updates dude : )

[stoneblock12]

was the camera making the video look slower....

[KRAZYkKID12345]

cute cat...



[spiceyxxwiener]

sweeeeeeeet rig.



[dacasman]

@spiceyxxwiener thanks but you should see it now, its way better. and in a few weeks, it will be twice as good as it is now. i have two update videos that where made since this.

[M16SoftairLego23]

Sweet cat ;) xD

[dacasman]

@M16SoftairLego23 yeah she was, somebody stole her from my front porch though : ( they busted a window out to get that cat. pretty crazy stuff, i dont know who would steal a KITTEN of all things :(

[vidmanproductions]

@dacasman :( that sucks it looks like such a nice car! Fucking theifs

[dacasman]

@vidmanproductions lol thanks but you said car not cat, kinda confused me for a sec xD

[someone0000000000000]

@dacasman

ahh, that almost made me cry and Im a guy. Who in the fucking mind would steal a kitten????? If I found out I would seriously make sure the fuck would suffer a very long a painful death

[rnachinrna]

@someone0000000000000

12 years old.

[TheIdiotNamedR0ppu]

@dacasman dude someones like cars,someones like money your thief liked cats :D ( P.S dont mean 2 be rude)

[wobbleknob]

very nice for a budget computer

[Sil3ntDz]

Umm i wanna know something how did he get the Antec 900 for free ?

[dacasman]

@Sil3ntDz from the pawnshop where my step-dad works. i dont know why i said craigslist.

[madbab00n]

omg with like another $150 yopu could have made that soo much better

[bluelava12]

2:14 the cat wants to play halo :)

[HookEchoMedia]

I bet that CPU runs quite hot with a stock heat sink & fan. the AMD 64 X2 aren't exactly a cool running CPU.

I have a third rig (lol) rig with a 6000+ Windsor 3.0GHz, overclocked to 3.4 and I had to pick up the Cooler Master Hyper N520 to keep it cool even at 3.0. (I know how to apply thermal paste fuck-tards, I know that would be the next brilliant reply)

Eitherway, nice build, hope it serves the purpose well. Invest in better/more RAM and a better PSU.

[dacasman]

@HookEchoMedia that stock cooler was only on there for a few days, i would never let my cpu go to long without an after market cooler. actually i have a new video on updates i made to it, and since that video i got a new 650watt power supply, better ram and a gtx 460. my computer is much better than it was in this video.

[HookEchoMedia]

@dacasman: Either way... kudos on the build! I have done the Craigs List and garage sale/dumpster diving build before and made a few hundred bucks.



[skaterguy288]

@dacasman bottle necking ftw!!!

[dacasman]

@skaterguy288 and what exactly am i bottle necking

[bigjomx]

Rock on man! I get it. Not every one has unlimited funds for gaming PC's. Nice work! I would recommend actually buying the games. People get busted for that now days!!

[dacasman]

@bigjomx i do buy my games. pirating sucks, eventually developers are gonna stop making good games because they know that people are just gonna pirate them. sure i do it once in a while because i dont have any money and wanna try out a game. but its not good and i dont support it.

[bigjomx]

@dacasman Must have miss read that post sorry man. I do like the build, way to put in the effort and get the end result!

[keithjon11]

good job finding cheap sht and half free.

[Crzclwn]

$300? That's great performance for a small budget, Good job dude!

[Omeprazol20]

great... i can do the same if half of the hardware is for free... idiot...

[dacasman]

@Omeprazol20 no need to call me an idiot. seriously, why are people so rude on the internet

[TheWoWRevelation]

@dacasman I know what you mean...

[F3N1X0289]

@dacasman cuz you're a retard.

[dacasman]

@F3N1X0289 excuse me

[ivansegos]

@dacasman because they can hide behinda computer screen lol

[MrIdontknowanyname]

@dacasman because they're not head to head when communicating

[PhilipHo92]

@Omeprazol20 dude you got a problem? everyone may dony have it good as you!

[andrewisflyyy]

Hey dude if you got cod waw for free could you show me how to get it? please.

[dacasman]

@andrewisflyyy sorry, i bought it

[masik7290]

@andrewisflyyy pm me i can tell you how to get it, but without multiplayer just story mode also any other games you can get it 2

[dacasman]

@masik7290 dude, dont you know about torrents? you can get anygame with torrents, go to thepiratebay and look for a game you want. you have to know how to install it though, it can be a bit tricky sometimes. oh, and you have to have a program called azures to use the torrent

[masik7290]

@dacasman yeah i use torrents to get all my games dude lol, i just didnt want 2 post a comment in the open cause some people start hating, i dont use azure tho i use utorrent its alot better, i get everything off pirate bay haha, games movies the windows 7 im running right now also

[dacasman]

@masik7290 then why did you ask how to get free ganes?

[masik7290]

@dacasman naw i didnt ask , the guy i replied 2 asked you how to get them, i was trying to help him

[KingOfSand100]

@masik7290 its sad that people torrent games. i support the game company so they can keep patching problems and keep releasing great games.

[masik7290]

@KingOfSand100 yeah i know it kinda sucks if i had money i would tottaly support the game industry but after building my computer i dont have much, so i have 2 download but i suffer by not having online gameplay

[andrewisflyyy]

@masik7290 Thanks but i need multiplayer lol but thanks for offering i like people like you who arent assholes.

[masik7290]

@andrewisflyyy no problem bro

[2fast4all]

Hows that ECS mobo you got there (If you still have it), is it stable? Ive had one in the past and it was the worst POS ive ever ran in a PC...

[dacasman]

@2fast4all its great, i am honestly very happy with it, it has lasted longer than mu asus motherboard that i had before it. it has a pretty nice built in gpu, it has an hdmi slot, it has 8 usb's. i would recommend it, sure its not asus or evga, but it works just as well in my experiences. and it only cosed $90 :D

[Quickedx3Productions]

The kitty liked the computer :D I think he liked that blue lights ^^

Thumbs up if u agree :P

[natanaelthebest]

the kitty is in included with the 360 degree view :P 2:14

[corriganjh]

i completely really like the game. i managed to get it this morning totally free on mw2forfreeSinfo (replace S with .) and then made use of the money i saved to buy a different far better mouse. i think i am not bad but mainly thanks to the mouse i bought.

[TheWizzardDX95]

I like the part with the kitty -.- and nice build for that price!

[disguisey]

@VincentBProductions Easily done for a $1,000 build specially with the 5000 series ATI Cards

[SmdScape]

@VincentBProductions If your computer is capable of gaming smoothly, then no, you wouldn't need any more 'capable power' as it would be useless. If you can game, you can do anything else.

[SmdScape]

@VincentBProductions My pc which cost around 500-600 plays crysis at around 30-60 fps.. most settings on enthusiast with 4x AA lol.. A 1000$ computer would probably be an overkill.

[dacasman]

@VincentBProductions alrighty, i just sent it. i put down all the parts you need.

[dacasman]

@VincentBProductions it can EASILY handle gmod. i play it all the time. in fact the only two games i cant max the graphics on are crysis and gta4 everything else runs great.

[starccyahoo]

nice ...
