Hi, I'm new here. My name is Greg. First, a little background. My current desktop at the moment is a Dell Dimension 3100 that I bought on 2007, I upgraded the video card on it to NVIDIA GEFORCE 9400 GT and it's a Intel Pentium 4 CPU 3.06GHz 2GB OF RAM. I have not been a big PC gamer in the past, but I usually play Counter Strike 1.6 on steam and it runs pretty bad, I tried installing other games but it would not work. Building a PC has always been a goal of mine, since I was younger. I just never really had the resources or a real reason to do it. I just would like to get a PC that can run smooth, watch livestreams,movies,videos etc. Also that I can use it for my blog, photoshop. I dont think I will be playing any other game besides counter strike Global offensive or 1.6 still. I would appreciate any help.
PS: I have a dell monitor, mouse and keyboard already.
