Downgrading from Radeon HD 5770 to HD 4200 is a HUGE step down, IMO, if you want a gaming system right out the box.

See if you can change the build, or to just buy the individual pieces and see if they will assemble them.

Pre-built rigs usually come with strings attached, like some sort of crappy component added in next to god ones etc...

With somebody who knows what he's doing, you can get a pretty good machine for the money. :)

I will be getting the link soon, I will post it here.
And you have 45€ left for some extra RAM, or a better PSU/more cooling fans.

What are you doing for hard drive space? A PC from 1995 would surely have originally had about 7 GB tops originally.

I think she meant that you forgot to include a hard drive for storage into your system.

And that's a nice system, if you ask me. The CPU and RAM are fine, and the video card (even though it is slower than the HD 5770) is good considering the price you pay for it. It will let you run most games decently.

That's incomplete. I mean if you will add missing parts you will be over your price limit. But so far it sounds very nice ;)

Huh, lucky you. In this case I would recommend you to jump to this card - Radeon HD5670. It's a better buy than HD5570, better performance/money ratio. And this is almost a middle stream card :)

And perhaps an inexpensive CPU cooler, like this one. ;)

And this or this HDD. The other one is bigger and use IntelliPower so it can slow down its rotation speed. In long time horizont I have no idea if that would be plus for gamer pc or not - never tested one. But in pure theory it should be fine and even better to switching between htpc/working and gamer station.
