what pc should i buy to play Counter Strike?

thinking about buying a new pc to play counter strike and other games... is there a computer that has everything i need in it already so i dont have to run around and by extra parts, also are there any pc's for a reasonable price?

just about any computer will run counter strike.

it's more about the mouse in your case.

i recommend like at least a 2 ghz core 2 duo and an ok video card like a 8600gt or wahtever

That's a good general recommendation for a new build, but those hardware specs are really beyond overkill for the game. Any semi-decent computer made in the last 4-5 years will run CS Source beautifully. I could run it more or less maxed out at 1280x1024 on my old Pentium 4 2.8 Ghz with an X800Pro. It even ran fine back when I had a Radeon 9700 Pro.

El Cheapo AMD Dual Core X2 4000+ or even a X2 5000+ BE
1GB DDR2 667 RAM (2GB if possible)
HD 2600Pro/XT or 8600GT.

More than enough for both CS 1.6 and Source.
