Re: n00b question but need help...
most $500 pc will run bf2 on minimum if you get a new graphix card for it i think that one is ok though
I dont think pD's are all that great so try to look for one with an athlon(sp?) or a P4 cpu
hmmmmm i'm not sure but i'm guessing
$200-processor
$100-motherboard
$100-graphix card
$100-harddrive
$100-ram
$70-case
most other stuff you can pull of your old computer if you dont mind using old stuff

Yeah, I got my system dirt cheap and it runs very nicely
Something like:
E6300 or E6600 if you can scrounge it up
El Cheapo Motherboard (My AsRock Conroe945g is pretty decent and was only £45, slightly limited overclocking but it's "modern", shall I say, no RAID though).
$180 GFX card, something like a 7800GTX or 7900, I regret cheaping it out
Cheap *** hard disk, the differences in performance aren't really noticeable. PATA holds its own to this day. You need at least 60GB nowadays, good thing it's been hanging at that level for the last 5 years.
RAM, well you want 2GB at least. That'll set you back £100, somewhere around $140.
Case - It's a f*cking case. I could run my PC in a perforated cardboard box.
PSU - You need to get a good one of these, or have fun with your $500 paperweight. Brand matters. At least $50 should do it.
CPU Fan/Heatsink - Cheap, and the stock one is about as easy to set up properly as Slackware linux. Hehe. Tuniq Tower, I hear is good.
That should come round somewhere like $600.
