Default Dirt Cheap.
Just as it says, I'd like to keep it in the price range of around $200, and also have enough power to play Battlefield 2/2142 and maybe GRID if possible. It does not need a case atm and will just sit on my desk.

Also Intel/AMD or ATI/Nvidia doesn't matter just want as cheap as possible.

Items i need....
CPU/MOBO/GPU/RAM/PSU/HD

+REP will be added where needed.

Thanks

Thats A Pretty Low Budget - But Let Me See What I Can Work Up.

Give Me Like 20 Minutes Or So...

EDIT: Finished - Read My Post:

Closest I Can Get That Doesn't Suck - And Has Some Room For Upgrades.

Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...2E16813131318R

CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16819103773

RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820148211

PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817171031

HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822145215

Your Best Bet Would Be Buying 2 Sticks Of That RAM - Then You'd Be Ready For Some Serious Gaming

The Graphics Are Onboard - Mind You They Are Some Very Nice Onboard GFX - And I Think They Should Be Able To Run Your Games Fairly Well.

If You Want To Upgrade To A Better GFX Card You Have The Ability To Do So Later - With Your PCI - E x16 Slot.

The CPU I Have Used In Several Low-Budget Builds - And Runs Very Fast @ Stock - And Overclocks Decently.

The Memory Is Made By One Of The Top Brands (Overclocking Wise Even)
And Has Very Tight Timings - So It Runs Fast (For DDR2 800)

The HDD Is 500GB And Is 7200RPM's (Made By Hitachi - Which Is A Fairly Good Brand)
And Has A 16MB Cache (The Most I Could Get In Your Pricerange)

As For The PSU - Its The Bare Minumum You Want To Go With - Cooler Master Is A Good Manufacturer - And Although You Can Find Cheaper PSU's - They Are All Junk And Normally Burn Out Or Catch Fire Within A Few Weeks.

Note It Also Has A $10.00 Mail In Rebate.
Anyway - I Hope You Like It

If Theirs Anything You Would Like To Ask/Change About It Just Let Me Know

I believe $200 will barely land you in AMD zone.

eBay and the For Sale section on here will probably be your best bet.
