Default Need your knowledge!!

Well ok, my current pc has been broken for months now, and i want to buy a new one, i found this on ebay(i know, ebay... my last resort)

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/AMD-AM3-240-X2...item5d26702d1a

it looks good from what i can see, dual core 2.8ghz, sok AM3, ddr3 ram.
all im going to be playing game-wise is counter strike source, it just needs to be enough for that.

The ram i will be buying is this.
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/2GB-%...d-CAS-7-7-7-15

its only 2gb but its fine, and the timings look alright.

so is this all good for the price and counter strike source??
thanks OCN

If your current PC is broken... just replace the broken part.

I would maybe go with these two:
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Gigab...s-RAID-ATX-VGA

http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/AMD-A...MHz-95W-Retail
Not sure i would trust the super talent memory tho.... and you really should try to get 4gb if you can.... maybe some corsair?
