That's near impossible.... since you want to run 'all of the moddern games' 'smoothly' but on 'lowest settings'.
 GPU: I would highly recommend GeForce 8800 GT it has 512 MB of memory and is superclocked and only costs $135 with the MIR. This card will run Call of Duty 4 with 75-250 FPS I usually get around 100-175 FPS on COD4. The things you want to focus on first: CPU probably $100-$150 range is what your after, Monitor will probably cost you a lot... and a decent Motherboard that will probably only run you from $60-$80. The rest are not that important because Hardrives, RAM, Cases, Mice, Keyboards are very cheap these days! |

You will probably need to increase the budget a bit if you want a gaming computer. The monitor will set you back a bit, and so will the operating system.
Probably want to get at least $800 for a gaming system.

If you are going with Vista, you'll want to get at least 2GB of ram as it uses up a lot of ram and 1GB might make your computer feel slow, here is a good set of 2GB ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820146118. If you build this computer using your build list and adding more ram, you should have a computer that will play most games at medium/high settings smoothly (as long as you aren't using really high resolution, past 1680x1050 for example). |
