taking away the hard drive, power sup, case etc,
CPU, RAM + GPU. £200/$400.. Is it possible? I have been thinking about what to do towards the end of the year when the only game I am interested in comes out (starcraft 2), First of all, no, I am not regretting getting my Macbook  I just have given a little more thought into the future of gaming and how it probably is NOT a good idea to be playing games on a laptop anyway, and am debating this a little.
The Macbook is perfect for me for now and at least the next 6 months, and possibly until a better model comes out. However, I want a small PC 100% dedicated to playing Starcraft 2 alone. The game will be available for Mac, but I don't fancy the idea of gaming on a laptop in general. Judging by the screens, it shouldn't need anything more than a 2006-2007 graphics card to run on full settings.. I guess what I am looking for is a £200 bundle with GPU, CPU and RAM.
Understand that it doesn't need to be a Crysis ultra high DX10 massacring beast  it needs to run SC2 and nothing else. (perhaps some classic oldies such as grim fandango, etc  )

Gigabyte GA-P31-DS3L Intel P31 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard £46.99
G.Skill 2GB DDR2 NR PC2-6400C5 (2x1GB) CAS5 Dual Channel Kit (F2-6400 £29.36
PowerColor ATI Radeon HD 3850 Pro 256MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI (PCI-Express) - Retail £82.24

you could easily go with worse stuff and shave off 20quid
your post sounds like you dont need a mobo though? but you dont say which you own if you have one already?
