Answer 1

800 is a tad low but of course it all depends on what kind of games you want to play and how great you want your graphics to look. It all starts with a case. The motherboard and processor is very important as well this dictates the speed of which everything will work.

Get at lease a 512mb Video Card

Have at least 1gb at most 2gb of memory

Have at least 300gb of HDD
