what is the absolute least amount of money you can spend to get a pc running crysis, on medium settings

i want to play decent games on a pc with spending the least amount of money

i did have a recommendation but it came to around 500 pounds

so does anyone know what the absolute least amount of GBP could be spent to get an decent gaming pc

(only thing i could reuse on my pc is maybe the tower so a tower may also be needed)

keep costs low and cut corners

thanks
 
no i should be ok on an OS

OK here goes:

Athlon II X2 250 -£45
M4A78LT-M - £44
4GB XMS3 - £40
HD5670 512MB - £59
SpinPoint F3 1TB - £40
SATA ODD - £13
NZXT Beta Evo - £36
SilverStone SST 400W - £38

Total before shipping: £315. (If you can find any components cheaper go for it, good websites aria, overclockers, ebuyer and scan) I take it you're not OC'ing? The machine above will smash through black ops, it's not hugely demanding tbh, crysis on medium no probs, what resolution monitor do you have?

The only component you could cheap out on without compromising the quality of your system here is the GPU/HDD, if you really can't go over 300 quid then swap the HDD fpr the 500GB version - http://www.scan.co.uk/products/500g...hd502hj-sata-3gb-s-7200rpm-16mb-cache-8ms-oem
The GPU here is excellent value for money, the ones ~£10 cheaper than it are much slower than it, so I wouldn't recommend changing that.
