Need help on a unique build...

[3 Minute Reviewer]

Okay here it is - I want a pc that is designed to do one thing and one thing only - play LoTR Battle for Middle Earth.

I'm not sure where to buy the game or what the recommended specs are or any of that but I want it so bad - so much nostalgia! I am planning to build it and share it with my dad who would always play with me too

Here is a link to the game - I think i want a budget of like as cheap as possible and include the cost of the game in whatever you come up with - thanks

 

Update - Ideally I want to pay like $300-$400 or less for the entire PC and OS (thinking I would need XP?) and at least one of the games. Again - I don't want to do anything else with this machine except play this game and possibly games that are even older.

Do you know LOTR battle for middle earth 2 ?

The 2 was even better

People here will probably offer you builds for this, shouldn't be costy since this game doesn't require very good cpu and gpu, you can cheap it out and it will still work fine, its like, 10 year old game  amazing game tho

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/k7LDYr this one should allow you to play any game at 60fps 1080p on a mix of high and ultra settings, you can get cheaper headsets/mouse/keyboard and include your game. 750$ would be the final price

Gah I know! I was hoping to get my hands on one and two and maybe even the expansion for two! I personally loved the first one the most - i liked that it was a little more simple haha! But yeah I'm more of just looking for pointers on what parts would meet the recommended specs and such - I don't think it should cost much and I havent built a PC in about a year so I figured this would be a less expensive way to build another one

Yeah way off from what I'm thinking - shoulda been more straight forward. I want a PC to run like windows XP and only needs to be able to run Battle for middle earth 1 + 2. So I'm thinking it wouldn't cost much more than like $150-$300 all in all. Scrap yard wars kinda build haha

Ok then, sorry but never heard of that game and you didn't come up with a budget either. I will figure out something and come back in a second!
