Advice For a pc build

[ll champion]

I want a new pc build, and I would like it to be as low cost as possible. I need the computer to play runescape on high settings, while video recording, and with msn open. I don't know how much this will cost, but thisis the only thing I'll do on the computer. I don't want to play MW3, crysis, or skyrim.

I'd build it around the AMD Athlon II X4 641 Quad-Core. It's a $90 processor on the AM3+ socket..

Anyway, get that and 4GB of ddr3 ram.

Any HD will do since you probably won't install many programs..

I don't know how long you plan on recording though, so get either a large SSD (64gb maybe?) or a 1TB mechanical drive.. You'll fill up the SSD rather quickly if you're recording in 1080p and save a lot of videos.

video card is near irrelevant, but a cheap ass one like the following link couldn't hurt and would ensure higher fps on Runescape. Any card in the 55-80 range should let you max out RS.

Powersupply is up to you, I like corsair brand.. You'd be good with a 350 watt but I'd go 400 just to be safe.

Now someone's probably going to post a build or whatever so they can 1-up me, even though with such low requirements it really doesn't even matter.

Feeding off what he said about the hard drive, just go ahead and get a HDD and not the SSD, UNLESS, you can take a old hard drive out of an old computer. My 120GB SSD gets full rather quickly with videos and other media, the only program I have installed is Microsoft Office.
