Help (computer building)
Listen, right now I have a 5 year old Dell...FX5200 graphics card, 512 RAM and 40 GB HD and it is not cutting it lol. I was wondering if any one of you more knowledgable people (in computers/technology) could help me out with picking the parts of a new computer. It will be used mainly for CS:Source. My spending limit is $1000 (US) and I know it isn't much but I have heard that one can build a decent computer with this kind of money. Please help!!!

Of course we will help you with our best, but I'm not going to be idiots like the other idiots guy, haha. It seem most cases with power supplies is little expenisve for some reason why. Its really hard to find a nice cheap case that you were asking for. The shipping and handling cost is pretty much trouble part. That's why I like to go to www.pricewatch.com and see what the have now. If not, I sometime goes to eBay, computer cases store, or whatever. What else are you looking for? Let us know...
