Default new computer

I am pretty new to this forum. I was just wondering what would be the lowest budget gaming computer that would work well for COD4. And could anyone give me a good set up idea

ok thanks,
I am pretty sure that I could play COD4 on my computer now but i defiantly want to start building computers. I am not quite sure what Cohen is asking. Can you please rephrase it. I was thinking of spending around 850$. Could someone please give me a rig for around this amount without a screen, keyboard and mouce.
Many thanks
DYl
