Hello there!
My fiancee wants a new gaming rig, the PC she has currently is a prebuilt nightmare we picked up after her old one died.
We have £300 budget, but can go slightly over. Using parts only from [url]www.scan.co.uk[/url] can you help us put together a something that isn't a shed with a crank motor in it? We currently have graphics cards coming out of the wazoo, so it would be nice to have a motherboard that would support nVidia SLi.
Games that she plays include but aren't limited to:
WoW,
Book worm,
Portal,
Minecraft,
Half-Life 2,
Psychonauts.
Her native resolution is to be peaceful and help more people (or 1366 x 768).
There is nothing we could really use from the old machine.
Thanks in advance!

You aren't going to get very far with £300 although I'll have a try. You say you have lots of graphics cards, but then you say you can't re-use anything. So can you or can't you?
I have two nVidia 6600gt spare and one nVidia 9500gt in a box.
My PC cost £400 to make a year ago and it's still pretty decent now.
She'll only need something like a 500gb hard drive, 2gig of RAM jobby, I just don't know which one is best.
Other than that she needs the rest of the PC, including a case.
The 6600 is PCI-E, which I don't think is forward compatible with PCI-E 2.0 slots so you'll have to use the 9500. I've used all of your budget although you'd probably be fine if you went down to 2GB of RAM and an X2 [url]http://www.scan.co.uk/savedbasket/dd93e9f883fe4a288dc99d516b820678[/url]
