Make it REALLY cheap. i mean like $300 in all if possible.

i just want a computer that will play cs, surf the web, and use basic applications. Nothing else! I have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, and everything else so all i need is the tower.

thanks for your help.

raise yo budget to $500 then we can talk

any computer can play cs. my old 1.2 ghz compaq presario could handle it. the new patch seems to be giving lots of people grief though. but my dual core rig right now doesn't feel drops in fps until i get stuck in roughly 9 smoke grenades. if you ask me. a dell dimension would do fine

$300?? $300 =2400RMB if you are in China ,it is enough!you can try CPU:CD3.06G board:915PL card:6600GT DDR2:512MB SATA:80G hope it can help you!

Bobo

What are these? I have never heard of such a processor, are you speaking of an Intel P4 at 3.06GHz? And what brand makes that board?

中国武汉

sorry,I am Chinese boy,but in China,we did call CD3.06=celeronD3.06 moyherboard:MSI 915PL.I think there is some barrier between our lanuages!

Bobo

Um yes, I have been noticing this barrier

Now, I understand...

However, you should not get a celeron. For gaming at all, you would definitely want a Sempron.

AMD Sempron 2800+ $73
Asus K8U-X $43.50
G.Skill 512MB RAM $34
Sapphire 9600 $43
Maxtor DiamondMax 80GB $48
BenQ DVD Burner $34
AthenaTech A416BS + 400W PSU $34
Total $309.50

Quite a few sacrifices here, but it's cheap and retains at least semi-decent discrete graphics. Anyone got anything better?

EDIT: Geoff's selling a 9600XT for around the same price as that 9600:Fs: Ati 9600xt. A much better card, although not new.
