I'm only a gamer...Counter Strike Source and Half Life 2 mostly. Odd bit
of RPGs (Guild Wars). I was considering:

A64 3000 s754
s754 AGP MoBo
120GB IDE HDD (From current PC)
Case from current PC
CDRW/DVD Combo (From current PC)
FX5500 256MB (From current PC) for now

Bits I would sell:

2.6GHz 400FSB Northwood P4
1x256MB PC2100 Samsung
1x256MB PC2700 PNY
ASUS P4S800

Estimated prices I could expect for these are appreciated.

Cheers,

Neil

Go for a 939pin board and get a slightly lower end CPU, maybe an AMD64
3200/3000. If you can't find nForce4 with AGP get nForce3. Get Asus or DFI
if possible and a pair of PC3200 or better RAM.

"I'm only a gamer" Only? Won't find many thing more demanding of hardware
than games!
 
As a local computer shop I find it appalling the amount of so-called
sex shops and frilly underpants shops there are sprouting up everywhere
!

Only last week someone entered me, and demanded that I show them all
the best edible corsets and Rocco movies I had to offer!

The trouble is that the youth of today have no respect! I say bring
back national express, it wasnt the same 30 years ago when young people
had to join an ailing coach company and drive to Grozny and back.
Taught them some discipline so it did.
