Ok guys so i need some help. my laptop that i was using died on me. I want to try and build my own desktop only problem is i have an extremely tight budget. Im looking at like $300-$500 as close to to $300 as i can though. I currently have a desktop to work off of its and hp media center. It has an AMD Sempron 3200+ 1.8 ghz processor. (code name manila)Motherboard is an ASUS NAOS 1.05 chipset- Nvidia GeFroce 6150 southbridge-nForce 410/430 MCP
and my graphics card is a Nvidia GeFroce 6150 LE (codename c 51) revison A2.

Easy, you buy the motherboard/cpu/ram combo I just listed on ebay for 100 dollars, add a radeon 7770 for 80-100 dollars, 30 dollar corsair psu, reuse the HDD and optical drive from your old desktop and OS too. Buy a cheap case for 30 dollars and you'll just be under 300 dollars.

While I'm partly serious, that's about the only way you can build a 300 dollar box that will run that game.

This is what I have listed: http://www.ebay.com/itm/251376010755?ssPageName=STRK:ME...

I'd honestly sell it for the 100 I said in my first message, i put 150 as a buyout being super hopeful.

I'd honestly sell it for 100 though.

So, 100 for that, you reuse your hard drive, the copy of windows you had with with your last desktop(winXP i'm assuming) as well as reuse the optical drive and you buy the parts i listed in my first post. You buy what I listed earlier so that puts you at:

100 for Motherboard, 4gb's of Ram, a dual core Cpu plus shipping.
Buying the parts I listed, so for under 300 you'd be set with something that i know will run the game you want.

Also, if his OS is OEM he'll need a new copy of the OS.
