Yes finally I got a new puter.After 5 1/2 years with that pos I finally saved up enough cash to get something better.It's a definite upgrade and I'm so happy and it was my first time assembling one myself  and after I figured out the boot sequence was wrong in the BIOS  I got it up and running
Anyway here's the specs
ASUS-A8N E
AMD Athlon 64 +3200 2.0G
512 Mg DDR
Nvidia Geforce 6200TC 256 MB
with just a standard case
Total = $600 CAD
Anyway I'm stoked on it cause I've wanted a new comp for the past 4 yrs and now i got one thanks to sticking to my new years resolution of quitting smoking.
The last game I played on my old pc was Sim City 4 when it came out  Time to go get some Weeeeeee!!!!
P.S. I know there are way better components out there but I this is what I could afford at the time for an immediate fix so please no you shoulda got this or that.

Grats man! Don't forget to bask in that new hardware smell before it wears off!

I hope you got the Venice core.
I'd take AMD over Intel any day. But that's me.
Yes, yes I'm back.
Somewhat.

Yay to AMD if your on a budget! Yay to AMD anyway!
Nother stick of ram would be nice, but you can play anything at the moment on that.

Indeed deelix 9800 can still play most games good to great... Don't understand why everyone wants to buy better cards if you'll have to get a dx10 supported card anyway (not talking about emulated dx10 support here).

Yeah I had that old one for 5 1/2 years...mind you two of those my brother had it while I was homeless addicted to crack in Vancouver.I just got it back like a year ago and yeah I make shit all for money here in Nova Scotia cause we are an impoverished province with very few well paying jobs coupled with the fact I have no formal training/education doesn't help so I'm thinking of heading back out west and getting back into roofing...paid in piece work.... out there I was making 30-40/hr before out there compared to the $10/hr I get paid here for the same job.
Anyway I'm pleased so far with my rig for what I spent...at least now I can play games...before all I could play were older games and even them would get all laggy and sketchy after 10-20 minutes of playing.
