dont think this should be in the High Performance Pc topic but look on the back of the box and see recommended system requirement then pick your pc

512MB ram
AMD Sempron
Nvidia 6600

Could go lower to a Sempron 2800+, 383MB RAM, a GeForce FX5200, and Windows 2000.

could use a Seagate U Series X 20 ST320014A 20GB 5400 RPM IDE Ultra ATA100(only $35.00)

hmm, well i could probly squeeze a few more pennies out of it, but still thats well cheap, i was looking at the dell website at there cheapest pc, a similar price, and they dont even have g cards, ahh well

Dell offers a free monitor and tech-support though.

£371 = $600-ish. Thats way over Dell's $300 base computers.
