I am getting a new build for christmas, not a complete 1337 machine, just one to be able to play source and HL2 nicely, and maybe BF2 some. Here is what I want to get, note that I am on a budget and cannot spend $2000 like you guys can:

CASE: Aspire X-Infinity 420W PSU <--Gonna get a 550W
MOBO: CHAINTECH VNF4 ATX AMD
PROCESSOR: AMD Athlon 64 3000+ Venice 1GHZ FSB Sckt 939
RAM: OCZ Premier Value 1GB PC3200 (2X512)
HD: Have one I am going to switch over
VIDEO CARD: eVGA nVidia 6600GT 128MB PCI-E 16x

So, do you think it will be sufficient to play CS:S and HL2 and such w/out laggyness? I play it right now but have to use low settings :-(
 
Yeah you should be able to play your games just fine, and be able to bump your settings up a bit also :p
 
Yea, I'll look into a diff one, does DFI make one with only 1 PCI-E slot? I am not going to need SLI and dont want to spend 140 on a MoBo.

Maybe ABIT or ASUS?
 
Yea, a 6800 GT should be a lot cheaper by then.

id recommend a DFI Lanparty nForce4 Ultra-D, or as a step down (both in price and performance), the MSI K8N Neo4 Plat
 
Why is the computer in your sig more powerful than the one that your buying now? Just a question. (to see it just highlight and it works :p )
