Oblivion capable PC for £400?!

Hi guys.

Bit of a challenge for you. Mate of mine wants a PC capable of playing Oblivion, except he's only got £400 to spend and needs a monitor too!

To be honest I'm more than a little dubious, but I thought I'd throw it open to you guys. I also doubt he'd want to buy any second hand gear.

I'm going to have a go myself now, but if anyone can come up with an attempt I'd be very grateful.

Yeah i came up with something for about £550 which would have been alright, but any lower and its kind of pointless. Cheers anyway.
