Hey guys new around here, wondering if i could get some help in buying pc parts and which ones to go for. Im looking at building a computer to play online games such as HoN(hereos of newerth), world of warcraft and counter strike 1.6 and to watch the odd movie and listen to music my budget is about 400-500$ cheers.

Do you have any parts at all ? HDD, monitor, keyboard etc ?

If youre wanting to build *NEW* from scratch with nothing at all, then I think youre budget will need to be increased a bit.

If you have some gear already or are happy with 2nd hand then should be doable.

HoN reqs a P4 2.2 or better - plenty of 2nd-hand machines around on TradeMe that will cover your needs.
