300 quid

[nepas]

So after talking with someone,who badly needs a system(running a P4 and 1GB of DDR with an x300)he is VERY tight with money,and tbh,I am struggling with anything decent.

NO O.S.
NO Perfs

Just a tower

He mainly plays older games(atm not sure of what),I am really struggling to find anything near his tight arse 300,there has to be something that is a good base and will still run old games(maybe up to civ 5 maxed),without going 400-500.My googlefu seems to be failing.

I'd get this one, but please spend the £4 more (or get the 750k) and get a 1Tb Caviar Blue. Seagate drives aren't all that great.
