well im buying a dell vostro for about 539 and before you start to hate on dell i gotta say im on a budget and cant afford even an 800 computer

thats why when i buy it i can upgrade it later on replace the mobo power supply and add cooling..

well for now i just want to know if it can play quake wars, and counter strike

also i want to know should i get it with windows xp or windows vista home premium?

operating system (?)

1 gig of ram (will upgrade to 2 later, up to 4 gigs)

160 gigs of hard drive

300 watt power supply (i will upgrade to 600 when i get enough cash)(i hope it wont mess up my comp)

Nvidia Geforce 8600gt 256 mb (i dont know how much it can store, if its not much i will replace the mobo LATER)

Intel Pentium dual core processor E2140 (yes i will upgrade later on)

and i will be going wireless using roadrunner

Well just wanted to know if its good enough for quake wars and counter strike

any other though on what i should do or what i should get to help out this system?

thanx in advance...

PS. it be much easier and helpful if you could rly criticize this,i need to know the weak-points. But stick to the comp i just dont have time to built it myself because i know you guys are always saying to build it yourself i cant im sorry to busy (lol im only 15 but yes im a busy teen)

what game has inspired you to make games a part of your lifeeither to design program be a professional gamer or just have fun with them?

mine was my first game for the ps2 gta vice city

and to be a professional gamer was quake III arena

and to one day design them for my own company was DOOM (the first one)

It all depends what type of games you and your friends are into heres a small list of a little bit of everything;)

FPS

The main game you should get is no doubt

Quake III Arena they have a demo with 3 maps at filefront.com for about 40mb its perfect for lan party(old but addictive)

Counter strike source

Rainbow Six Vegas

Fear

Call of Duty

Battlefield 2142/battlefield modern combat

Quake 4

Halo combat evolved

unreal tournament 2004 they also have a demo at filefront.com

RTS

Warcraft III frozen throne (it might be a little old but it rly fun)

Command and Conquer 3

Command and Conquer zero hour

Age of Empire

Starcraft

I hope this helped (most of theses have demos at filefront.com)

can this run flight simulator??

windows 95 operating system DOS

100watts power supply (bought at garage sale)

Intel Pentium II processor

64mb or memory ram

it cam with integrated Intel graphics card i thinks its 62mb

10.5 gigs of hard drive storage.

i think it has dial up...

Well im buying a computer online and i was wondering if this is good for gaming (games like counterstrike source, and quake wars)

Desktop windows xp

Intel pentium dual core processor E2140

1 gig of ram (will upgrade later to 2 gigs)

300watts

80 gig SATA hard drive

I also dont know if i need firewire im not sure what that is

so if i need anything else please tell me and also tell me if i need a modem or firewire
