This thing is just laggy i can't play games without them running at 10 fps on minimum settings.
Examples: Simcity 5 , Take on helicopters (Hardly runs) , Wildstar (Really bad lag)

If i was to save for a decent machine it would take me quite a long time.

I wish i could just go buy my dream machine.

I have £85 what should i buy for it? :)

Yup, what Blackbird said. Save 600-800 bucks and get something that will last you a few years. Or come up with a build and buy parts as they go on sale. Newegg will send you email updates when parts on a wishlist go onsale!

I wish i could get a decent machine :/ But i have had 3 machines all ready when the last too broke i asked my parents to buy me a computer that will do gaming but they say 'There so expensive'

Even with birthday and Christmas money it is a impossible task for me to get one.

Ask parents for GPU for christmas. Bday present can be MB&CPU. The other stuff is fairly cheap. If you come up with a plan, they will be more willing to consider helping. Take it from a parent of a gaming teen! =)

While I agree that you should get a newer setup, I also understand not having the means to just "get new everything." I looked around and I think this is the cheapest you can get while not being a complete heap... My dad has one of these in his old PC and it played some newer games pretty well. I played Diablo 3 on it above 60FPS on med/high settings.

£18 + shipping? MSI 5450

Robax i dont know if this would work in my computer with everything been DDR2.

That has DDR3 video memory

Though i obviously don't have the money for a decent machine. I really need some gaming PC to game on.

Console's feel boring to me.

PS3 still only $149 and surprising ALOT of the E3 games will be released for it. So there is a middle ground fo you and your parents
