[GhostDJR]

I'm going to buy these parts, maybe, but I want your ideas first. The only things I'm buying are the card and ram,Here it goes
Video Card

2 Gigs of ram
AMD semptron 2400+ 1.67 GHz
I think my hard drive is around 80 but not to far away if now.
So, will this line up decently run games like Hl-2, Prince of Persia, etc?

 

[bonehelm]

yes it will run decent games

make sure you have at least a 450W power supply

and you have a pci-e slot on your motherboard

 

[Avalanch3]

you might want to think about a diffrent cpu...that one will bottleneck you computer

 

[Vybuni]

Yeah, at least go with an AMD64. get the 3200 if your on a budget

 

[GhostDJR]

Actually, I'm on a budget. And it's almost filled already. How much would that extra CPU cost me?

 

[Aussie33]

I believe the AMD 3200+ costs somewhere around $170

 

[Powerslave]

you don't need a 3200 though, your on a budget, get a 2800 or 3000.

 

[Aussie33]

Yeh, you dont neccesarly need the 3200, the 3000 will work but you'll probably want to upgrade again another time.

that Semptron will definitly bottleneck your computer, get a better one, 2800 if your on a tight budget.
