£300 spec-me please!

[Confused]

Hi all,

Have been tasked with putting together a £300 system for my GF's mum.

Tasks will be web browsing/office applications, but most importantly playing WoW (I know, I know!)

Parts I already have:
Case (full ATX)
KB/Mouse
Monitor
320gb Western Digital "JB" hard drive (IDE)

What I need:
Power supply
Motherboard
CPU
Memory
Graphics card
Optical drive

If the old HDD will bottleneck the system over a newer HDD (even if it's smaller), then add in a new HDD if budget allows.


Cheers in advance!


Garry

I would increase the budget to allow for at least a Tri-Core AMD Phenom II, a decent AM2+ motherboard and a new hard disk.

Have a look at gigabyte g31 boards for around £40-£45. Pair this with an e5200, and you should have enough left over for a 4850.
