£250 Budget Build

[tommyslaits]

I am interested in building a new pc, I am 15 and am very interested in Computers.
£250 Will be the max spending money..

I will be using it for Low End Gaming, such as WoW and maybe Cod4.

What I use now:
Intel Pentium 4 3.00Ghz
2GB RAM
ATI HD 3650 AGP Card
ASUS P4P800-F

I get 30-40 FPS on WoW with lowest settings.

if you need an operating system then the budget is awful and the parts will suffer too much.

use the onbaord gpu of the motherboard until you can stick a 5770 or similar in.

Sounds good, but I could get Phenom II Dual Core 555 then unlock to 3/4 cores?
Will it need a lot more cooling?

 

[tommyslaits]

Its not guaranteed that you will be able to unlock one extra or two extra cores, the stock supplied cooler is fine.

Orite, you didn't include a Gfx Card?

 

[tommyslaits]

Your budget is to low to include a graphics card that has any meaningful power, the onboard gpu of the motherboards chipset will have to do until you can scratch together another £80-100

Samsung SH-S223C/BEBE 22x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter
What is that used for? DVD Drive?

I have a DVD Drive and HDD already, I could scrap them for a 5570 or something

 

[tommyslaits]

yes you could.

is the HDD and DVD drive SATA or IDE? the motherboard only has one IDE connector.

is the HDD a decent fast one? whats the make and model?

250W IW-P250A3-1

 

[tommyslaits]

That would be a PSU, not an answer to the question asked.

And as Cookeh says, why three threads on the same subject?

Orite, I don't know what HDD I have, how do I find out?

And this is a different thread, I gave a budget, and someone finds a nice build for me, other then me finding a build and asking on advice.
