Hello, I'm looking to buying a cheap computer that allows me to run Mabinogi (MMROPG), the requirements for the game are:
OS Windows XP (SP3) or better
CPU Dual Core 2.5Ghz or better
RAM 2GB or higher
Graphics GeForce 7600GS/Radeon X1300 or better
HDD 4 GB or more
Direct X Version Direct 9.0c or newer
Web Browser IE8/Firefox/Chrome

If you can point me to the right direction that'd be much appreciated!:)

Right Direction

Just build a super cheapy gaming rig yourself, if you want me to I can put together the part list for you, it's really worth doing.

I've never built a computer myself perhaps it's time to do it for the first time! I know newegg is a great place for parts but I have no experience picking the right components. And I have a couple questions...

1. Would it be cheaper if I build a mini computer that has the size of Alienware X51? I actually would prefer a mini one compare to a big one since I have limited space in my barracks room.
2. I know GeForce 7600GS and X1300 are old dedicated graphic cards, do you think an newer integrated card will do the work?
3. Is the $300 system enough to meet my requirements?
If you have better options or have a list of parts please let me know! Thank you so much.
 
Well, I've built a Celeron G540 system for $200 with fairly decent parts. The Celeron was quite a capable CPU. This is what I did:

Rosewill FBM-02 Dual Fans MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case

ASRock H61M-DGS LGA 1155 Intel H61 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

Intel Celeron G540 Socket 1155 2.5 Ghz Dual Core

G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Dual Channel Kit

CORSAIR CX series CX430 430W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply

Samsung 24x DVD-RW

Later I added SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6670 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.1 x16 and an i3 2105 3.1 Ghz Dual Core.

Because of the memory price hike it'll cost more but hell I'll sell you my tower for $200 plus shipping. I used it for a few months while building an i5 system.
