I have just sold off my PS2 and i REALLY want to get more into pc gaming and spec up my machine.

Can it be done for £100 is the question?

I have been looking at prices for stuff in the MM and do you reckon this would be a fair assumption....

E2140/60/80 around £30
P31 DS3 around £30
2GB DDR2 Ram (good stuff e.g Patriot/OCZ) £20
160/250gb HDD - £20-25
Freezer 7 - getting one from a friend for £5

Am i being a total dreamer lol :p

you really also need to consider a new graphics card if you want to do any PC gaming

8800GT is really the only viable cheapest card you should consider if you want to game anything that is recent. But that will cost £100 for the card.

There are some ATI cards at about £80, but I can't really say how they are since I haven't had an ATI card since the 9800Pro. Although you may find some good deals second hand as people upgrade
 
thats the same as you asked,if you can probz stretch to a little more over budget then that setup would be ok
