Bored of your current gaming computer? Think it is not up to par for those quick, fragging, high speed action moments in game? Well you can build yourself a fast, low cost gaming computer for $700. It can handle new games today, especially Call of Duty 5, Crysis, Far Cry 2 on medium to high settings with incredible framerates.

Last year, I posted a $400 low budget gaming computer but that has been long outdated (another $400-500 one is coming soon) Here are my recommendations. This is a full build, so if you have some spare parts, they may or may not work with this build, although the hard drive, dvd drive, etc… are user replaceable. If you have any recommendations to change this build or want to discuss, post in our forums or comment section!

Grand Total: $736 without tax (and some Mail in Rebates I did not include).

Sub $500 dollar gaming computer.

This configuration is for people who don’t have the cold hard cash to buy a $2k+ computer or for those who like to do some casual gaming while having the horsepower to do their workstation work.  I present to you, my friends, [laatedaa]?’s $400 dollar build.  It works great and fine as I just built one myself for a friend and it runs modern games without a hitch.  Also it is “future-proof” meaning that you can always upgrade when these parts go haywire.  I took many things into consideration when looking for these products and what goes with what.  I found out that this combination of products works best.

In the beginning, I was debating whether or not to use AMD w/ ATi, AMD w/ nVidia, Intel w/ nVidia, or Intel w/ ATi.  I found out the most cost-effective, or as many of you guys like to call it, BANG for the buck, I went with an Intel / nVidia path.  It worked out fine as Intel’s processors do a strong doing while nVidia’s high end cards are not very pricey, although this particular model is almost half of the $400.

So, this week for three games, the New York Yankees are playing against the A’s. I haven’t watched a game in about a year or so and decided that doing a good favor to relax and enjoy America’s pastime would be fun for a night. I searched tickets on the A’s website and not surprisingly, the tickets for their “Premium Games” which are Yankees and Giants are more expensive than usual. About $7-10 more expensive than normal home games.

There are many sections to choose from and for about $40 you can get great seats at Field level around 1st or 3rd base lines. Something caught my eye, however. “All You Can Eat.” I wondered to myself, is this some kind of buffet? Their seats are situated at the third level between sections 316 and 318 (puts you behind the home plate). The view isn’t bad either from up here, you can see the whole field and the baseball clearly. I bought three tickets for a few friends to come along and these tickets are $38 dollars. So if you were to calculate it out, the bleacher seats are around $10-15 dollars normally and the All You Can Eat portion adds another $23-28.
