    I plan on getting an X2/AM2 with 2GB of Ram and an 7600GT. That should be ok for now, surely

    yes the time was messed up, but the server people seem to have fixed it now. I was unable to post anything for a few hours due to the time difference.

    1 x MBB-M2N42 Motherboard Bundle - AMD X2 4200 AM2, Heatsink and Fan, 1024MB DDR2 533 RAM, Asus AM2 Motherboard

    1 x NOV-76GT Novatech GeForce 7600GT PCI-E 256MB DDR3 DVI/TVO SLI

    All for £380.00. I hope it all works flawlessly or the wife will have my head on a plate.

    Thanks to everyone who gave me guidance.
