Hi all!
Long time reader first time poster.
I have an old junker machine that I've been too lazy to replace until now. It's a P4 2.4ghz with 512mb of ram and an old ati 9600. I plan on still using after I get my new rig so this build must include everything. I also have a PS3 collecting dust(compulsive buy because they didn't have a Wii) that needs to be connected to a 1080p tv. I'd love to play Bioshock and Spore at 1920x1080 with 40-60fps. So this is what I've come up with...
