My challenge from the start was to make a gaming PC
that could run GW2 cheaper than buying one
Cheapest store/sites i've found =$490-500 low end system with monitor

My first Self Build will be just over half of the store/website prices
($294.86 total to be exact)

Here's how I am doing it;

First I Bought the following Used off of Craigslist:
Used Desktop with Case,Monitor,Mouse,keyboard,
160GB HDD,SD card reader CD-DVD RW drive ($50 for all these)
500GB External HDD ($25)
Corsair 500W PSU ($30)
($105.00 total)

These have been Donated:
Windows 8 Preview 64-bit OS with valid key (church member)
Video Card (CGA member) <--Thanks for your generosity blsimpson

Buying these new from tiger direct when i can:
Motherboard,CPU,4 LED Case Fans and 8GB RAM
($189.86 total)

Brings my final total to =$294.86
(saved $205.14 off of pre-built prices)

My basic final specs will be:
CPU = 3.2GHz triple core
8GB RAM
Video Card capable of running GW2
