Looking for a little advice regarding a mid to low end gaming desktop
As the title reads, I am looking for some suggested specification on a decent gaming desktop. I am more of a strategy gamer than an action gamer so my expectations are fairly limited. The most demanding game I suppose I would be looking to run would be Arma II at a reasonable level if at all possible. By budget is £500 to ~£650 and I would like room to expand the machine as I come into more money. I have a copy of Windows 7 64 bit so that should not be included in the spec, which should give you gents more room to play with.
I won't insult you by trying to post example specs as I would look like a fool at best and cause misunderstandings at worst.
Thanks in advance.

If you could push your budget to £661 i would go with this spec below but up the PSU to a 650W corsair as they are a branded and much more reliable PSU also you will not be as restricted in a year or 2 if you want to upgrade to a higher performing GPU and add any extra HDD's etc.

Thanks for your input Fear. If I decide to go with that build I can stretch my budget to acquire that higher end power supply as I favour flexibility going forward.
