    alright ill just post everything up here now... ok well... i wanna build a computer for like $850 - $900 ... or slighty over it...

    AMD Athlon "64 or XP" 3000+ .. im not sure..

    XFX nVIDIA GeForce 6800 Video Card ... just the plain 6800 will be nice i think... will it work nicely for HL2 and DOOM 3?

    X-Connect 500-watt PSU .. is that good? someone told me it was awesome

    i want any case that will fix my stuff good :p

    maybe like 1 gig of RAM... or would 512 work fine? or maybe someone a little higher *shrugs* lol

    i have no clue what motherboard i need, but i of course, want one that works with everything right :p

    harddrive... i just want atleast 60 gig, or something higher if its cheaper or something lol

    Windows XP .. :( i lost my one to my current desktop and my laptop... my luck!!! :(

    ok well did i miss anything? i did it kinda fast but the top 3 things is what i wanna get and the rest is what you all think i should get.. or maybe theres something better then the top 3 for cheaper? can someone PLEASE take the time to find all the parts i will need to successfully make a complete computer and make everything work right in it so everything fits please? THANK YOU ALOOOT!!! :)

    ASUS!!! plenty fast and rock solid, from experience :cool: I'll also put 1 in for Nvidia, as much MATCHING RAM as monetarily possible and would go a little bigger on the HD, at least 80GB 7200RPM :) If ur gonna run it hard, spend a few on cooling when getting a case and PSU! Some places will sell u an OEM copy of XP when buying parts and try to get Pro if possible, I have both and Win XP Pro rules HE. Just my $.02 :D
