My AMD Athlon 64 3800+ and Nvidia 8400 GS 512MB just ain't good enough especially with the Motherboard I have.
I'm looking to build a PC that can be used to play games such as...

• Left 4 Dead 1 & 2
• Half-Life 2: Episode 2
• Team Fortress 2
• Fallout 3
• etc
• etc

Not necessarily on high resolutions, maybe around 1280x768 on High.
Budget - Around $200-$500.
Really depends how much I have during the holidays.
(You can, if you really want to, do a complete build meaning case and everything else. Just around the max budget as well.)
Don't worry about the case or HDD.
Just the Motherboard, CPU, & GPU.
I have a 300W Power Supply so that may need to be upgraded depending on the parts.

I'd prefer AMD and Nvidia.

Spritanium

A 4850 would easily max those out at 1024x768

You most likely need a new psu, though

Would the motherboard effect how the GPU runs since the PCI-E Slot runs at X8 and no X16

SUPER PISSED

In your case it wouldn't matter.

Rewindlabs

What's the brand on that 300w PSU? it most likely will need to be upgraded...even if you where under 300w you better play it safe my upgrading...
