Even my C2D P7450 laptop can go medium\high with little difficulty..

If you can get more money the coming two/three months I'd suggest to save.. really..

Perhaps for 100 or 200 more pounds you can get a system that's times better than this.

If you want you can only spend money on a new CPU, motherboard and graphics card and just install it in the existing case you already have.

But I think you want something pre-built. Amirite?

I can't agree more... when you're on a super tight budget, using pre-built stuff can only be of benefit in the following two situations (that I've experienced):

- You don't already have a copy of the OS you want to use [and can't "obtain" it]
- You're mates with the shop owner and you can get everything pre-built at wholesale prices

Basically saving up, even if it's 20-50 pounds a week, will be a much better choice than buying now.

If you look in Careless' signature, or just at this link [and change the currency to GPB], you'd want something along the "Fair" and "Good" range, so just around double your budget.

Anything below that and honestly you might as well just stick with the laptop IMO

Thank god to Careless's link.... It has helped.

I could get a decent PC to run PR 1 and PR 2 easily. For <$650 (w/o tax and shipping)


Well, time to save money...
