I'm on a tight budget and I thought I might have a go at designing one. All I really need to know is if it will run Planetside 2 on low/medium settings at 30fps.

Yeah it will. I have a way worse PC than that and can get 40fps on planetside 2 on low-medium

very good build
it is a revision of your build, with better price/performance parts selection
pentium 4th gen haswell + mobo
8GB of ram
Radeon 260X (slightly below 7850 performance, but newer gen)

all at the same price as your original build

good luck

Thanks so much for your help! How many frames will this get?

probably at 60+ at medium-high
that build is already way above planetside 2 requirement
