You'd do better in investing in a new CPU/motherboard combination if you don't even have AGP.

I'd suggest Socket 754 sempron and a cheap motherboard. Check Komplett.co.uk, their AMD Upgrades section.

It'll be alright for older games, and maybe the low settings on some newer ones, but don't expect much usability in the next-generation.

I stand by what i said, a better CPU, motherboard and integrated graphics are your best option.

It really depends...

Right now my PC
Hightech Excalibur Radeon 9550SE 128MB
AMD Athlon 1,2GHZ
512MB SDRAM

It is quite nice for me, can play most games ok'ish..

Now the new PC i'm getting for 350 Pounds:

Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe nForce 4, s939, 2PCI EXP 16x, 3PCI, 4DDR, lan
AMD Athlon 64 3000+ socket 939 venice tray
DDRAM 512MB DIMM 400 PC3200 CL2,5 DDR
DDRAM 512MB DIMM 400 PC3200 CL2,5 DDR
Abit ATI RADEON 9550 256MB DDR (128bit) TV out,DVI 8xAGP
WD 200GB ATA-100 7200rpm 8MB cache 8,9ms
Desktop 360W PFC Chieftec BE-01B-SL 2x5,25" 2xFDD 2x3,5" low noise, USB, 1394
Arctic cooling K8 CPU cooler AC-SIL64U Silencer 64 Ultra TC Athlon 64 up to 4000+ vaikne

That will be heaven for me, while it could be crap for someone.

Sorry to cut in, but why the Asus SLI board?

Indeed, especially given the A8N-SLI Deluxe's cooling problems. A most curious choice....

Would of gone by your list, but apparently the person who was going to put the PC together, had already bought the parts ><.
