Just wondering whats cheapest rig one could buy to run new games & old looking "ok"

Im guessing a GTX 260 still runs them well & is cheap enough. DDR2 ram is still good enough, 500gb hard drive.

Just wondering whats cheapest CPU one could go, this will all be at stock, no overclocking.

I thinking the Dual Cores are very old news, maybe a Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400?

Just out of interest, what can experts throw up to play new games looking ok and old ones "good".

Lets say was playing on 22" monitor.:)
 
Well i have a choice between high end, or a ok machine. I know what i want in high end rig.

So lets say budget is £600 for ok machine. Thas just tower alone including needing windows op system, which would be windows 7.
 
Nice rigs, but whats with that AMD 720 being picked so much?

Surely it's not much good nowadays or am i wrong?

A Intel Quad Core must be better by a mile?

the 5850 is a newer faster card....if you can base your build around a 5850 that would be ideal

With my above system though, i could upgrade the CPU & GPU in say 2-3 monhts time couldn't i?

So get one of new AMD's coming out, and say the 5850 or 5870 when price drops?
