    ok but i dont really need an ssd

    There is no use for the faster RAM. 1600 MHz is more than enough. The Cooler is a bit oversized. Haswell isn't that good for overclocking anyway. Same with the PSU - a 500W PSU is more than sufficient. The GPU is not necessary, when he plans to play Planetside with it while he is budget limited. A GTX 760 is already sufficient. The mainboard is overprized. Half the price would do and what do you even need wifi for. Then the SSD, it just raises the budget here.

    The specs seem alright, although the graphics card is kinda shady.

    Because the specs say it's a R7 260X, but the specs also say it has 1GB of memory while the 260X actually has 2GB, so I think they're talking about the R7 260 non-X version of the card which is probably going to limit you to medium settings for BF4 and low/medium for PS2.
    It's not going to let you play at high settings that's for sure.

    No idea if the pc has wifi. It is mentioned in the features, but nowhere do they specify that it has wifi built in.
    They also don't specify the motherboard type anywhere on the page so who knows, maybe it has wifi, maybe it has 10 wifi's :D, or maybe there's no motherboard at all lol.

    i need a replie from @TheAppl3 , @JGDX

    Seriously read my hardware guide and learn about computers. If you need wifi buy a USB wireless adapter. You dont base a PC purchase on having an integrated peripheral. But you seem to just be posting links to junk and hoping one will be good. You want an impossible PC: cheap and will run this power virus of a game that doesnt run well on $3000 PCs.

    The absolute cheapest comp - its sole purpose is to run PS2 at around medium without too many framedrops. It includes a monitor (you listed offers including one first) and it also has wifi. If you have more money in the future, you can easily upgrade the GPU. If you have a higher budget I would recommend to choose a GTX 760.

    Edit: Replaced the 750TI with a 660. £10 more for being absolutely save graphics-wise.

    ^ looks very decent. I would still go for Kingston ram. I have had to many errors with other brands. :)

    Maybe drop the optical drive, i neeeeeever use mine. use the 10 punds on a better cooler, a cooler for haswell can never be to good.

    Planetside 2 is veeery CPU heavy, so it would be a god idea to overclock it a bit. Haswell overclocks just fine, as long as you stay at 4.4 ghz or lower. I run my 4770k @ 4.4 ghz, it can easyli do 4.7. But i prefer lower volts, temps, and a more silent rig. Overclocking haswell are pretty simple and easy. There are tons of guides out there on youtube and blogs.

    If it was the good old sandy, i would also go for a cheaper cooler.

    I always bought the RAM that was cheapest and never got disappointed. All RAM I every owned is still running in machines my friends own. I am currently at 16GB Teamgroup RAM ;)

    RAM nowadays is almost unbreakable I'd say.
