I'll admit, I couldn't do it :o So I hand it over to you guys

He will need everything apart from the monitor, keyboard and mouse

All he want is to play WoW. He doesn't play anything else and doesn't use the PC for anything else. He recently found out that u can turn the sliders up so he wants to play it as maxed out as possible. Don't know if that's possible with only 350.

thanks guys

Edit: Oh yeaj, doesn't need any optical devices as well
Edit: Doesn't need any Hard drives as well......this is embarresing now :o

I don't think you will be able to beat Burly's specification unless you go for cheaper AMD X2s but they will also be slower/less able to overclock normally for the same sort of prices - not that it matters hugely with a motherboard that isn't designed for overclocking anyway. Just as a comparison the below system should all be compatible and includes 2gb Ram, I don't know if WoW uses a lot of Ram but it may help and you could try overclocking the X2.
