I was wondering if someone could help me build a PC for playing CA and other games like CA
The price range is as low as necessary to play on medium settings with little to no lag.
System requirements can be found on the website.

| Probably combat arms. Any basic pc with TnL can run it.

I want a to build one because i would prefer to save as much money as possible. If I buy one a pre-built that that runs it with no lag it's more expensive then necessary, if i find one that's cheaper it will be choppy.

It doesn't really matter, but if i had to give you a number 400$.
Preferably as low as 300$ if you can manage it.

@Hero
Really shitty computer that i only use for facebook/youtube.
Was never a computer gamer. If i tried to play CA on this computer I'd max at 4 fps even on the lowest settings.
Planning on buying:
Foxconn A7DA-S 3.0 AM3 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
Palit NE5T2400FHD01 GeForce GT 240 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
COOLMAX V-400 400W ATX v2.01 Power Supply
Kingston HyperX Blu 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 Desktop Memory Model KHX1333C9D3B1K2/2G
Intel Celeron E3300 Wolfdale 2.5GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor BX80571E3300
Is this good?

Wrong motherboard for the processor, or wrong processor for the motherboard.
Depending on which part you decided to build your rig around.
