you are asking for too much.

Id say wait until you have atleast 700 and have a much better build.

CoD4 on full graphics, but at what resolution?

1280x1024 not asking for much really since my friend built a PC around 1 year ago and it plays cod4 on full graphics with good framerates. and he payed like 570 for his build

Look at that, i put it together. It cost almost $800 USD, so just look for similar parts on a website that ships to you

EDIT: leaves room to add another 4850 at a later date. This rig should be able to play COD4 on max settings really well
