Building new low budget pc

[LuisR14]

the pc would be in a black screen state if the cpu isn't recognizable by the mobo , so you would have to update it

... with an 8400 should come out to like 315 after adding in the memory and case/psu

I really don't care about the graphics so I cut the 8400 out and added a 640Gb hard drive with double the cache of that one.

But I like the processor and the motherboard
