Hi People of OcUK.

It's been a long time since I've posted anything hardware related. Anyway, I posted a thread ages ago, asking to spec me a machine worth £1500.

Now this has gone out of the window, only being 16 and all.

So now, I ask you for a little challenge. Spec me a budget system that can play games like F.E.A.R, BF2 etc on Max'ish Settings and is reasonably fast. I really want C2D, not so keen on AMD now.. since C2D has came out.

2 Gig of RAM would be cool, but 1 Gig minimum.

I am going to enclose it in a Silverstone SST-LC17 case, which has been taken care off.

Hardrive Space can be like 160GB, I have a external HDD for odd files etc.

Don't need keyboard, speakers, mouse or monitor and whatnot.

Budget: Under £600 INC VAT and P+P

Spec away.
