Hey all,
I am trying to build my wife a system that will run whatever game I throw at it. I have some leftover components I plan to use, and I am trying to keep this as CHEAP as possible.
I was looking at the following components.
Motherboard:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131249
ASUS M2N-MX SE Plus AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA GeForce 6100 Micro ATX AMD Motherboard
CPU:

AMD Athlon 64x2 5000+
RAM:

2x 1 gb GSKILL DDR2 800
And I am lost for a video card. I was thinking about an ATI 2600 pro I can pick up for around 30 dollars but understand they kinda suck.
This wont be used at higher than 1024 by 768, and the monitor is old-school so I dont need huge power here.
Like I said, I am trying to keep this as cheap as possible, currently it is under 200. I have a hard drive with XP on it I intend to use, the CD burner, the case, and the power supply. All I need is what is listed above.
Any feedback is appreciated!
Thanks!
