age of empires 2, rise of nations will probably run on most pc's too. UT99 though the graphics are dated but still one of my favorite games of all time.
I'd say a phenom II, though also look at an i5 750. If you have a Microcenter near you the prices on processors are very good, I got my i7 for $200, thought the price may have went up a bit since then.

I looked at i7 920's but they are like $300 so it's more then I would like to spend. We don't have microcenters near me not even sure if there are any in Canada. All I have near me are local pc shops that are overpriced and carry a crappy selection of parts.
I'm looking into building a new pc and I was wondering what processor is better and i5 661 or a Phenom II 965 they are both pretty much the same price but performance wise what's better? I'll probably only be using it for games, internet, and typing the odd thing nothing to intense like video editing. I was originally going to get a PII but since there isn't support for both sli or x-fire I started looking at intel. I don't think I wanna spend a ton of money on a i7 so its between those too.
Sure it someone has a baby buggy or is in a wheelchair or old or something I'll do it, but for most people if there close I'll go through first and keep the door open for them if that makes sense.
