Need help with computer

[Huff]

Hi. Im trying to put together a new computer for HL2. Here is what i've got so far.....

Mobo: ABIT NF7-S
Cpu:
V-Card: ATI RADEON 9800 PRO
Ram: 2x256 Kingston ValueRAM Pc-3200
HD: Hitachi 80GB SATA
Case: Dynapower 86B2 w/430W PS
Fans: (CPU) Vantec AeroFlow VA4-C7040
(3) 80mm Case fans

I've left the cpu blank because I am open to suggestions. I need it to be within $100-$150 if possible. Thanks

get more ram if you can. get a bigger hard drive also.
what kind of cd/dvd drive you putting in it??
what about a sound card??
what kind of processor does that mobo use??

Those specs ain't gonna cut it I'm afraid

That mobo is only for Athlon XP's, you'll want atleast a AMD64 3000+

That GFX card is fine, but you might have to turn down the graphics abit for HL2

I would recommend doubling the RAM to 2x 512mb.......

The HD is fine, that is a personal preference really so aslong as you don't have 2 hour movies and 1,000 songs, you'll be fine
