Motherboard: $60 - $70
CPU: $95
Ram: $60
Total: $215
I wonder if I can get a decent i7 cpu + mobo + ram for $275
Good luck with that. You might even have trouble getting a used i7 for less than $275, let alone the rest of the system (though you can get 8 GB of RAM for $40 or so).
Intel Core i5-2500K
$219.99
8GB (2x4GB) G.Skill DDR3
$40
GIGABYTE GA-Z68MX-UD2H-B3
$150
= $410
Yeah I'm just going to wait. I don't NEED a new machine
