Hi guys,

After downgrading my PC some time ago I now want to build a new PC, mainly for HD Playback and World Of Warcraft.

I know I have a small budget of £200, so I know I'm not going to get much.

Could any of you please put me a spec together for around £200 to see what I'd be able to get?

Cheers

I could be wrong but I don't think you will be able to get a decent/good graphics card within that budget, afaik world of warcraft is a demanding game.
 
What do you need exactly? just a tower unit? copy of windows? do you have any parts that can be reused?

Unless you can recycle a case, PSU and OS, you're not going to get much for your money. A cheap motherboard is £40-£50, as is a cheap CPU, and I can't see you spending much less on RAM either, so that's £120 gone before you get a graphics card (onboard is incapable of playing anything past Runescape) or any of the things to recycle I just mentioned.

EDIT - This full build is only £160 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-275-OK - I could just stick a GFX card in it or would the PSU be to weak?

The CPU and other parts are too weak to make a gaming computer.

Buying a used 4850 for about £35 is a good move, get some more money and add it too this lot.
