£400 for a new rig...

[bigbadish]

Hi guys,

I have myself £400 to make a new rig, would like it to be able to play RF Online and DAoC possibly, to a reasonable standard anyhow.

I need help with the below components:

Mobo
CPU
Ram
PSU
Case
GFX Card
CD/RW

Well basically an entire machine, bar monitor, keyboard, mice. Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers,
Ish

This is a shade over £400 but does offer quite a good basic system with upgrade potential. I'm not sure what the requirements are for the games you have listed but the budget makes it tight when you are talking about a whole PC.
