Oh wise and powerful tech gurus please pass on your wisdom to lowly little me.
I basically want a comp which will run hl2/cs:s (crucial)/dod:s at full speed on high settings (but hey, who doesn't ) and was wondering wether this would get me close.
MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum (Socket 939)
AMD Athlon 64 3000
(2) Crucial 512MB DDR PC3200
XFX GeForce 6800 Extreme Gamers Edition 128MB DDR
I think that's about it for the important parts.
Right, 1st things first (well obviously, first things won't exactly be last will they?)
Is there any compatability issues with that stuff? like wrong mobo etc. Is there anything better (brands/models) for about the same price range?
Also, I don't mind waiting if anything major will be released soon which might push down some of the newer card prices (If there is anything like that happening soon then please tell me)
And finally, how would it fair with hl2/cs:s and dod:s ?
Thanks a lot to those who help
