Trying to put somethin together

[youstolemine]

Looking to spend around $600-$700. I do some gaming, counter-strike, stuff like that so I would definately like it to run smoothly. This is what I need:

case
power supply
mother board
processor
video card
HDD
ram

Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!

Do a search on the forums there is like 50 people asking the same thing..... And if your only playing games like cs you really dont need much.... Cs only use's 1 cpu anyways

Did a look in the same fourm and found this..... This would run cs and other games like that fine and its cheap http://www.computerforum.com/149224-computer-under-250-a.html

I don't. He listed a $600 - $700 budget, and you suggested a $250 build.
I was just saying, because I just got done with that build, that he would
be much happier with one of the pc's I linked to.

You don't build a system around a low spec game. Why would you limit yourself?

That's why we post budgets. :good:
