At the other end of the scale I built my PC back in October I think last year for £230 (already had a 1TB HDD).

AMD A10 5800k
Radeon HD6670 2GB
Motherboard I forget the name of
8GB memory (2x4GB)
cheap case with psu
2 xDVDRW drives

Absolute cheap ass system but works well in dual graphics mode and plays all games well (not always at full detail). Quad core 4ghz processors seem fast enough for me.

Runs 3D games well on my passive 3D tv.

Skyrim screenshot below. 1080p and fast frame rate. Just making the point PC gaming doesn't have to be expensive. My PC costs less than a xbone and ps4 but delivers superior cpu performance and graphics performance between the two consoles. Also more memory and a faster hard drive. I've not been disappointed with the performance of any game although have had to adjust down some detail on later games. I can also do the xbone thing of rendering at a lower resolution and upscaling if necessary. Haven't needed to do this yet though.

A full AMD system, yes!!

The optimal low cost solution is cool too. Did you build it by yourself or it was pre-built? For how long do you plan to keep it until you upgrade to something that will be able to handle upcoming "true" next gen games?
