http://www.ebuyer.com/product/176488 + an o/s and a gfx card if you need it (maybe http://www.ebuyer.com/product/152940 which i hear will work fine without upgradeing the gpu)

Computers are pretty cheap these days and keeping compatible with outdated stuff (less stocks = more price) can often cost more than just starting from scratch. DDR1 ram = slow

What game is that? The game shouldn't depend on a certain make of video card :eusa_thin

[KyleSmith]

The game is Grand Theft Auto San Andreas PC

On the back of the cover it says

Reccomended Hardware
256 (+) MB NVIDIA Geforce 6 or better Video Card With DirectX9.

Aha, that doesn't mean it needs an Nvidia card, thats just a "go by" thing. ATI will work fine

the ATI i suggested, comes under the better video card part - quite alot better in fact geforce 6 is olde. A 9600 may be ok though if you'd prefer to stick to nvida, its not much more expencive: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/17533

Thought i cant say whether or not you'll be able to run it without upgradeing the psu "/
