Budget build

[Jason136]

I was reading and I saw another thread like this, so I decided to make one.. I'm trying to build a computer for around ~$750 that can run these specs BEAUTIFULLY (Mainly buying this comp for a new game coming out).

The initial system requirements for Darkfall are as follows:
Operating System: Windows XP, Vista
Processor: 2.5GHz Pentium 4, or equivalent
RAM: 1GB for Windows XP, 2GB for Windows Vista
Graphics Card: 128MB PixelShader 2.0 support
Hard Drive Space: 12 GB Free Space Minimum

I know this isn't a very resource consuming game, but I want to be able to run it with no lag on my part.
