ha, uh oh, good luck with that build bro, i hope its not a bunch of useless parts that you are buying....especially since its that cheap. if it all works to its potential you should be able to run some basic games decentl, judging from your second build in your sig you will be very disappointed with the performance. good luck tho bro, best of wishes with that build.

lol well about hl2.. and BF2 ur prolly gonna have to lower some settings on those. And I agree with AC... lol if its that cheap somethin might go wrong =/. But i can play games on a stupid dell with 1.7 ghz cpu... stock gfx card...27gb harddrive... allthough i do have 768mb of ram. If all goes well u could play games decently... especially WoW... DAoC... CS.. but like CS:S... and HL2 and BF2.. u might need to lower stuff.

Your gaming will depend also on which 9600 you are getting. If it is an SE, that's the budget card. An XT or Pro would be better.

Comon people its 3.2GHZ. You know 2.8GHz runs pretty darn fast. Except for gfx card ya won't notice barely anything.

i was curious about that, but don't know that much about Intel so I didn't say anything. If its a 3.2 ghz....your hopes better be low for these parts that way you wont get too disappointed if it turns out they are worthless.
