Lets say for example:
Motherboard: Asus M4A77TD PRO - 79,20 €
CPU: AMD Phenom II X2 555 AM3 - 99,00 €
RAM: Teamgroup Elite DDR3 1333Mhz 2GB - 54,00 €
Graphics Card: Powercolor ATI HD5750 PCS 1GB GDDR5 PCI-E - 114,00 €
PSU: Corsair VX-450W - 66,00 €
Total: 412,20 €
Thats a hell of a nice computer for such a low price, now pick the case of your choice, HDD and DVD drive. Then go ahead and try your luck by unlocking the deactivated cores on the CPU... If you're lucky, you turn your dual-core into a quad-core CPU. :P
This is only for smart (and maybe broke) people though. Lmao

Do you need a specific motherboard for unlocking or does it work on more of them? I would like to try it on my Athlon II X2...

I can't really do this on my iPod well, I might edit this post tomorow.
I7 980x 6 core
ati 5970 (crossfire is overkill with one of these beasts)
256 gb ssd (not that familiar with ssd pricing)
or
7200 rpm 2tb raid 0
(pick a case)
12x blu Ray optical drive
850 watt psu
ddr3 2000 2x3
(find a mobo with all these features)
are you going to be building this yourself or purchasing it from something like ibuypower?I've grown to dislike I buy power, buy it from here: www.digitalstormonline.com
they don't just build it, they bring it in, overclock it free, test it for a full 72 hours, still perfectley free, and they will even diabe all the annoying features of microsoftif you want. It's so customiseable you can even go down to what color tubing you have. I customized myself all I would ever want for 2111$ I'd be amazed on what could come out of 5000. Beat of luck, -Graboy
