I know how to build my own PC i just need a motherboard that's up to date and a CPU to match it i can do all the mods myself i wanna make it a.s.a.p. I would really be happy with this help ((ie free parts))

how much you looking to spend on both? nd are you looking to overclock?

willz1988

no i really just need a good cpu and motherboard i have most of the graphic card ect need a power box tower case ie the shell and a few lil bits (( cant afford much hence why i put in (( ie free)) as i have other reasons for seeking free i know i wont have much luck

I've never heard of a "3 r 4 CPU"?
What is it exactly?
Sorry but you have no chance of someone giving you free modern hardware, maybe there is a chance of someone donating something that is 6 or more years old.

willz1988

tbh i dont mind if its that old and i ment 2 or 3 core

willz1988

i just need a working motherboard and cpu i can upgrade them myself as i have all parts but the shell ie the caseing

How much do you actually have to spend?

willz1988

50 to 100 euro

So all you need is motherboard,cpu and case

You have a decent power supply, ddr3 ram, hard drive?
Do you need a dedicated graphics card or will on board do you?
What will you be using the pc for?

Intel Celeron G530 Box, LGA1155|€37.95
ASRock H61M-S (B3), Sockel 1155, mATX|€40.22

It's only a real budget dual core cpu but that motherboard supports i3,i5 and i7 so you can upgrade later.

To get parts for less you would have to buy second hand.

i have the hard drive and no need power supply and its for mainly gaming im using my i3 samsung hard drive its 600 gb and i have big graphic card ect just need case and power supply nd cpu/motherboard

List the brand and model of all the parts you have . I don't think you will get a good gaming cpu in your budget.

which kind of ram?

can you be specific about which parts you have

willz1988

CORSAIR CMX4GX3M2A1600C9 XMS3 (2x2 4gb) PC3-12800

nforce is an old motherboard chipset from nvidia. If you mean geforce then what model is it?

Is the ram ddr3?

willz1988

its geforce 600

willz1988

ge force 600

tuxy

No such thing.
Is it part of the Geforce 600 series?
What's the exact model?

willz1988

as far as i know it is its all packed away but i used all the stuff i had for my normal gaming ie wow battlefield and black ops and was up to speed all i need is a motherboard and cpu and shell nd power supply

Way over your budget, I added another 4gb of ram.
The Pentium G2120 is probably the best gaming cpu under €100.
A modern gaming system can't really be put together for less.
