My budget is around $70 ( I know pathetic ) I saw some good prices on ebay my motherboard is pretty old and won't support PCI 16X graphic cards , i'm thinking i'll need a new mobo.

Basicly I need the cheapest possible option for upgrading my pc to play Gears Of War , I current have 7XX Mb ram ( 512 + 256 combined ) , 128 Graphics card and a 1.8 ghz proccesor all of which I know are inadequet to play Gears.

Anyone have an recomendations ( I live in the UK BTW).

Dont know if their is much you can do buddy with $70. Some motherboards alone cost the $70 you have to get the PCI 16X slots, let alone the cost of a bit more RAM and Processor/Graphics card. But hey, you got some extreamly intelligent people who frequent this site, who know computers. If (Shio) gets on he may be able to help you out. I wish I could help ya, but $70 (at least for me) is not enough, sorry.

You need at least 3-4 times that budget to play Gears on a decent level...

You need like $4000 to build a 'decent' PC.

...

If you had $140, then you could do something more. Plus, what kind of RAM and processor you have now?

Get a 360 :-p

$4000?! What are you building? A server/render farm?

wait price cut if you 're in america or buy immediately a 199euro 360 :)

 LOL. No you need like $400 to build a 'decent' PC if you already have a monitor and HDD. Still, his current budget is woefully inadequate to upgrade the PC to the levels he will need.

www.dinopc.com (Don't let the url fool ya, it's British). I got my PC from here.

Though, if you're upgrading to play GeOW, it'd be much cheaper to slap some mud and ketchup in your face, with no noticeable difference in quality.

$70, well thats not alot, you can get really good 2g ram DDR2 for $50 or less.

I've guess you looked at the minimum system requirements, I wouldnt always believe that stuff. I'd say put some stuff over the required system requirements and maybe you can play gears of war with less requirements. I mean I have 2GB RAM, 1.8 dual-core, and a 8600gt and that plays cod4 fine on my pc.

Maybe you should try upgrading ur mobo, but that wont be enough to play gears of war.
