Well for some time now, I've been contemplating on my Christmas computer build. I've talked on some other small community forums that I visit, but it's been a month or two, and I'm ACTUALLY going to get the computer. Here is what I have so far: http://secure.newegg.com/app/W...it=VIEW&ID=1182492
This will obviously be a gaming machine, mainly HL2/CS:S. My hopes are to go to about 2.1-2.2ghz with the AMD64, and unlock the pipelines/overclock the 6800.
Don't count in a mouse/keyboard/monitor/etc., I already have all those. This is just the computer itself. Also, the CD-RW/DVD-ROM drive and the hard drive will do me fine, I don't really need that much. Since I'm in California, tax + shipping hits me at $130 with that build. I really want this to be <$1000 JUST for the actual computer. So what I need are suggestions and how to make that so, without losing too much power.
