    Need Help Building A Gaming Computer

    Hi there guys, im looking to build myself a computer literally to play a MMORPG game called Runescape.
    I want to be able to play the game in full screen HD, i have a decent monitor, mouse, keypad and i have windows 7.
    I know i need a decent graphics card but i want to build the system myself so i need to know what components i need..
    If you could tell me what graphics cards/etc i could use i would appreciate it
    My budget is £200-£250

    Re: Need Help Building A Gaming Computer

    The latest version of Runescape is meant to be quite CPU heavy and does not seem to be that well optimised looking at some threads on the game.

    The important thing is to find out whether it needs more than two cores to run. If runs on three to four cores,an Athlon II X3 450 or 455 is the best choice and if it runs over one or two cores an Intel G840 or G620 are better choices.

    I would check this guide out:

    The £350 build is the one you should look at and without Windows 7 should come to around £270 to £280.
