Build an $800 Gaming PC
By Jason Cross
Gaming computers cost several thousand dollars, right? That's common knowledge, you'd think. Of course, those of us in the do-it-yourself community know better. You can build a perfectly capable gaming PC for little money. In fact, for years we've been challenging ourselves to build a decent gaming rig for less than $800.
Sacrifices must be made for such an inexpensive gaming rig. With a $1,000 price point, you could do a lot more. But picking a price point that is easy, that requires no tough decisions, isn't the point. The point is to show that large-scale OEMs, the guys who do the most volume at these prices, could certainly sell you a good gaming PC for this price if they wanted to. For the most part, they don't, and that's the power of building your own computer—you can get what you wouldn't buy elsewhere.

I just purchased a great gaming PC for under $800 fully assembled. I've been using it for running FSX with all of the simulator settings to the max and I get from 10-20 fps.
