I am investing in getting a new rig. I want to be able to play all Half Life 2 games G-Mod, ETC ETC on High Graphics or really close to. Can someone help me find a really cheap build for it? I was looking in the price range of 300-400$ If you guys have a great build then post it.

NOTE: I already have a key board and mouse and monitor
 
i will try to help you when i am free.
do you already have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, etc?
$300-$400 is a really low budget, for me to have a good computer, i have to spend $300 on a Motherboard, CPU, and PSU, and then theres even more things to buy.
So you might not have a good computer to run those games on max settings, but maybe around medium.
 
uhh, with this budget, i am pretty sure its best to go with AMD
you can get an dual core AMD for like $50, while the lowest for Intel is $110 last time i checked.
 
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5200+
MOBO: Asus M2N68 AMD Motherboard 4xDDR2/4x SATA Raid/1xIDE/Glan
RAM: Corsair DDR2 2gb PC-6400/800
GPU: Asus 8400GS 512mb DDR2 PCIE2.0 VGA DVI HDTV HDCP
HDD: Western Digial 320gb SATA 3gb 16mb cache
all for just $300-$375
 
i could build a pretty nice machine for around 400 bucks, however, in the aftermath of hurricane ike i'm limited to blackberry internet which makes it ultimate fail on browsing. i'll help you when i get everything back online.

i think he might need a graphics card better than the 8400GS.
that might limit him a little cant play much future games.
i had an X1950, and i couldnt really play g mod, but i think it was because it didnt support my card or something.

worshipme's build is pretty nice.
 
I already got a keyboard and monitor and mouse, i know 300 is cheap but i am going to get around 400 until i buy :D
