Default budget build : 700$ Canadian
hey, i need some help building a decent comp for 700$ and i live in Montreal. Right now i got a celeron 2.8 ghz single core, 1 gb SDDRAM and an nvidia 6200A PCI with a 200watt power supply. The game i want to play is counterstrike (1.6/cz) and i want 100 fps without dipping below 90. CS:Source would be nice but id only play if i got ^60fps.
Right now i get 70-80 but dipping to 40s in packed servers. Keeping in mind that prices r canadian, what would be a good build? i dont care for anything beyond basic case, and a basic 17" monitor is fine if something like 22" would add to price 2 much.

There is no MIR on that particular 9600GT any more...
Anyway, the fact is 9600GT is better than 8600GT in gaming...

Then why not just say what he needs?

Look up the 8800GS or 8800GTS G92.
