Hey Guys.
After upgrading my Media PC (Which was my very first gaming PC) i kind of had all the components just sitting around, so i figured why not pass it on to my little brother.
When i was younger i wanted a PC with really cool LED's and a monster speaker setup but 1 thing always got in the way. (cashflow - i wasn't on twitter at the time to follow the SA government advise of just earn more, so i lived with what i had)
Now..
What this bad boy is currently rocking..
CPU - I7 - 750
Memory - 8gb DDR3 1333MHz
Mobo - Intel Dp55wb
GPU - Asus Gtx 560
Case - Cooler Master Storm Scout (the first 1)
and these are the things i need to get this done for him...
CPU Cooler - I Have a Hyper TX3 but no fans. So either 2 x 92mm Fans or a replacement cooler.
Item Wanted: Let me know what you got.
Packaging Essential: Nah as long as its in decent nick and working.
Desired Age:Not older than these components? i got the Mobo in August 2009.
Location: Kramerville / Kempton Park / Johannesburg
Willing to accept a shipped item: if the price is right maybe?
Ballpark/Budget Amount: R100 - R200
PSU - 500watts should do the trick for the above?
Item Wanted: Let me know what you got.
Packaging Essential: Would be nice.
Desired Age:1 - 2 years
Location: Kramerville / Kempton Park / Johannesburg
Willing to accept a shipped item: Collection to save on cost preferred.
Ballpark/Budget Amount: R300 - 400
HDD
Item Wanted:360 - 500gb HDD
Packaging Essential: Nah
Desired Age: a year or 2?
Location: Kramerville / Kempton Park / Johannesburg
Willing to accept a shipped item: Not really.
Ballpark/Budget Amount: R100 - 200 bucks. R250 bucks for a 120SSD?
There are a couple of other things i want to do for him - He is really into Fortnite at the moment and was thinking of a vinyl sticker on the side window with some sweet RGB's inside the case.
Also some 3D printed Fortnite themed things (maybe a GPU Support)
He has a Keyboard and mouse with a 19inch screen from my dads old pc so its only really the case that needs completion.
Besides needing those things,
Some advice would be great.
Item Wanted: Advice
Packaging Essential: Hell yeah
Desired Age: 18 +
Location: Carbonite
Willing to accept a shipped item: SAPO a little unreliable so a replying to this thread would be best.
Ballpark/Budget Amount: Free
As i don,t play Fortnite - would this old girl be able to keep up? i doesn't have to be full 4k at 120fps. but 1080p @ 60 fps with a couple things turned down would be a win.
a couple of other games he will be playing is Call of Duty 4, Some Dirt 2. (oh and the homework factor of browsing the net for research) and im sure a couple other games here and there.
i obviously don't want to spend too much on this as she could go at any time - and this could also just be a phase for my little brother and it just ends up sitting under a table.
Thanks.
