hey guys. i've made a few of these for some friends, this setup is DIRT cheap, you could proberly get it even cheaper in america, but here in england i can make this rig for £380 ( $590) motherboard- Gigabyte GA-M68MT-S2p Sumvision 450W 20+4pin pu-AMD Athlon II X2 260 3.2 GHz- Some may disagree on this cpu but it holds out well and hasnt failed on my friends. windows 7 64bit Corsair 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3- cant go wrong WD Scorpio Blue 750GB hard drive RAphics card -XFX HD 6850 1GB GDDR5- Very good card for the money, It plays battlefeild 3 with 40fps roughly. this could easily handle this game on max settings.
