Building A computer
Hey i was wondering if these things would be good enough to run most games like bf2 css and stuff like that

ASUS M2N-MX (SE) AM2 Mainboard
AMD 3400+ CPU
512Mb DDR2-667 RAM
NVidia GeForce 8600 GT Series NEW Graphics Card 512MB!!

I am thinking of building a computer

Thanks BIgstev

i assume you mean 512Mb RAM not 512 GB
and i would get a bit more RAM than that. at least a Gb. what OS will you be using?

it will be able to run CSS but as for BF2 my only concern would be the processor. any reason youve gone for a 3400+?

More memory ( 2GB would be quite enough )

and maby a better CPU ( duel core recommended )

But other than that, yes it would be fine for most games

the reason i went for the 3400+ is it comes in a deal with the motherboard and ram

oh, well id definately get dual core. i have a 3200+ and its not particularly good.
if you go for multiple cores make sure to go for intel processors, so youd need a different motherboard maybes.
