ok i need as high a spec as i can get without using ebay preferably.. unless is from an ebay shop. would prefer to stay with amd. need it to run quake4 if possible doesnt matter if its buying it in bits.. cos i can build computer i alreayd have the software and everytthing so just need all the components. i have a case but i would need a new psu to power all this kit. alreayd have hardrive and dvdrw drive and floppy drive so need some ideas for components in price range and setups that i can get and dfrom where

I have recently built a cheap gaming rig for around the same money to play AOE3 and it runs quake great:
Went for
AMD 64 3500+
Geil 1gb dual channel set
Akasa pax power 400w psu
Powercolour x800gt
Samsung writemaster 16x dual layer dvd brner
Asus A8N-e mobo.

The mobo is cheap but socket 939 and pci-ex for future dual core upgrade. This lot cost me £445 a couple of months ago but is probably even cheaper now.
