Depends what you class as decent.

I'd say £750 upwards if you're building it.

 

[urbanfox]

Depends entirely on what you play.

Are you looking at soley RTS games, or top end new FPS's?

My PC is 5 years old :O It's still got the same motherboard & processor that it originally came with :O

Specs are:

1.5ghz pentium 4 processor
640mb sdram (upgraded from 128mb :P )
128mb ge froce 5200 (upgraded from 32mb g card)

And this can play most games around now. (ranging from pacman, to WoW,KO & dark age of camelot :P )

So dont go buying a £2000+ mean machine, you dont have to, just spend at about £600-700 at the most (if you can pay lower, do it! ^_^ ) .
