For that amount, I would stay with what you already have listed. That should run vista and everything else you need to run. You already have a decent system.

$150? That will get you a motherboard, but that's about it.

 

[jutnm]

no no , this is for another build i should say under $200

Yeah it will play it on the lowest settings, but I would upgrade to what you can afford. You are like me, still stuck with an agp card. I have an ATI 9700pro card and it plays Unreal Tournament 2k4 very well at high res. But BF is a lot more demanding game.

I'm waiting to upgrade until the newest release of Unreal comes out, which should be around October. By then the prices will have dropped for everything.
