Hows this for $300?

SC will no doubt be AOK, and the other games should play well also. I don't have BF2 or CSS installed at the moment, but I have both, and they were both running good at max settings on my PC.

OK, I got a little bit more money. About $130-150. And I was thinking of adding the 7600GT. The only games I play are CSS, waiting to play BF2 since I upgraded, LOTR: Battle of Middle Earth 2, and SC. With a 3700+, 1gb ram, and 7600GT, what settings can I expect on the games?

Medium to high settings with no problems, with the extras like shadows, HDR etc turned on maybe AA x2 or more. Also at a res of about 1280x1024, you could go to 1600x1200 but would have to lower some graphical settings.

Another question....With the 3700+, 1gb ram, and 7600GT...will the 400W PSU I have in my sig do? I used that PSU calculator:

And it came out to 288W.
