To be honest i think you could do even better than the PC your materecommends for 600 quid.The motherboard and processor are a little old, and even though thegraphics card is pretty good, depending on how much you pay, i think you'dstill struggle to get Oblivion to look its best.Perhaps look at a 939 motherboard and AMD 64 processor as both can beaquired quite cheaply.There's a great deal on ebuyer for an Asus 8N-SLI which would...
