Alright. Heres the deal. I have this Dell Dimension 4300.....yah, don't laugh at me it was a gift.
Anyways, it can't run with Counter Strike: Source and I was gonna just get a new processor for it.....but I'm gonna have to get a new comp SOMETIME.....so why waste more money on this POS Dell?
I decided to make an attempt to build my own computer.
Now, I have NO CLUE what stuff to get. All I can really salvage from this Dell is the 70 gig WD hard drive. I know that I want to get an Athlon CPU......and a new GeForce FX video card (probably....I seem to be drawn to GeForce more than the Radeon cards).
Thats about all I know.
Oh...and I want to try to keep it near $1000.
I don't really have a clue about how Athlon CPU's work differently from Intel, just have always heard they are better for gaming than Intels. Yes, I am a hardware noob.
