Budget Gaming Rig

Ya what Pada has there will actually play games quite decently!
Does he have a case? But you can get a cheap 1 for like R250

With the following rig (from Wootware) you might be lucky enough to unlock the X2 555 BE into a X4 945 !
Please note that I've left out the DVD Writer, because you can use your IDE DVD-writer with this motherboard. This motherboard that I've selected is really awesome: it's got 4 RAM slots, USB3 + SATA3 and allows unlocking of CPU cores (if you're lucky ofc).

VTX3D Radeon HD6850 1GB PCI-E Graphics Card @ R 1,649.00
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB 3.5" SATA2 Internal Drive @ R 396.00
Kingston ValueRam 2GB DDR3-1333 Desktop Memory @ R 338.00
GIGABYTE ODIN 470W 24-Pin Power Supply @ R 385.00
AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition 3.2GHz AM3/2+ 80W Dual-Core @ R 950.00
MSI 880GMA-E45 AM3 AMD 880G+SB850 M-ATX Integrated Desktop Motherboard @ R 969.00
Subtotal = R 4,687.00
Shipping (insured) = R 248.00 * This is a percentage of the Subtotal price!
Grand Total = R4,935.00​

If you really want to save a few bucks more, drop the SATA HDD and use your current hard drive!

I would actually rate the rig above as a decent gaming rig, unlike most of the stuff that we've previously posted

Thats a nice build
Btw how does Wootware's prices compare with Rebeltech and Ikonicit? Yes im too lazy to look into it myself

It's not just about prices. The service you get from these shops will influence your decision. I would recommend Wootware any day.
Ratwiz (Wootwate owner) is always available to assist, even if you just want to buy a R50 mouse.

I have never bought from them tbh, ive always used Landmark and Prophecy and wont use anyone else, after sales service is excellent. Although you can find items cheaper like at Rebeltech and Ikonicit, i just havent bought from them either so cant comment appart from prices

I went to RebelTech website and it says

The site is currently down for maintenance. Please excuse the dust, and try back later.
Maintenance period: We are currently updating pricing. Any problems/quires please email on [email protected]. Thanks.

Surely they should do that during the night and update their prices few components at a time, no?
I hope the prices are coming down.

its a shame if only you guys had pc zone close to you , R249 for 2gb ddr3 1333 .... then again it is hynix and not some brand name , still good enough for gaming on a budget
