Hi there

I'm looking on getting a Gaming pc to use for when I go to LANs and one To go for when I'm at home. So budget is crucial.

this is what I came up with so far any further suggestions will be great.

MSI P43 Neo - F R678
MSI Radeon 4850 1GB R1436.4
Core Duo E6300 R723.9
Apacer Gmaing 4GB DDRII 1066MHz R636.12
500GB HDD R557.46
Gigabyte odin 470W R415
Cooler master gladiator R700
Fans 120mm x 3 R50 per fan

Total R5297.18

tell me where I can save some more. Should I rather go for a core duo E5200. any other stuff I can save on. Maybe also can get a 4770 and cheaper PSU.

O before I forget. It has to be intel gaming PC

Only two things that I can see that you can get cheaper is:
HD 4850 512MB GDDR3 PCI-E DUAL DVI-I / TVO LITE R 1,049 excl. R 1,195 incl.
Coolermaster Gladiator Gamers Case - No PSU R 499 excl. R 568 incl.

And are the prices for you the same as on the website or slightly better...?

I shall not comment:D

Prices are pretty much the same depends on size of orders ect.
Im basically only registered with them for the specials on hardware and the updated price lists ect.
I never order stock in large numbers.

I only build pc's on the side for friends and for companies.
 
Rather get an E7400/7500 ;)

Why. It cost a lot more. The E7400 goes for R1179.0 O also going to get me a CM scout. will see at rage if I can get it cheaper. so thats like R336 cheaper that I can spend on better case or something else or maybe even just save that.
 
Well aim for the highest possble system you can afford. You already R5.5k and some change...

I do have system at home thats going somewhat all the way. this is a budget system so I want to save as much money as possible. every bit helps. I think the E7400 is a wast of money now. Well I'm not going to buy know. Just wanted to check what I can get for the money so to get an idee of how much money to save.

tho I will get the case at rage if it's cheaper than any shops.
