My friend is building a new PC and needs some help. I recommended him some parts. He mostly needs his PC for Work Apps, Internet, and Music playback. When he plays games, he plays Counter Strike Source and some other games with a lot lower requirements. He is spending $1200 max on his new PC.
Parts up to now (Around $1100 Canadian with taxes)
P4 Socket 478 3.2GHZ 800FSB 1MB cache (I know its old!)
1GB Corsair DDR 400 RAM
GeForce 6200 256 MB GDDR2 AGP 8X
Asus Motherboard
Case with 400W power supply
160GB Hard Drive 7200RPM 8MB cache
DVD writer
Floppy Drive
Cooler Master Fan (64.4 CFM!)
A 120mm and an 80mm case fan.
I think everything else is good for his needs, but I am not so sure about the GFX card. I read Video Card 101 and I looked at the specs of the card, but I still am a bit skeptical. Do you think this card can run Counter Strike Source just fine on this PC at medium to high settings on 1024x768 resolution?
