The Challenge

[fastdude]

Can anyone suggest to me a gaming build, with dedicated graphics (just the base unit, not monitor, mouse, keyboard etc.) for UNDER £200?
The best I've come up with so far is something along the lines of a core i3 processor, 512 Meg GDDR3 graphics, 2Gb corsair RAM @ 800 Mhz

It's gonna be tricky

Will that include a copy of windows or not? if not, you have a bit of freedom. if you do need windows as well it could get tricky.
