Well see... i got the game GTA san andreas for pc, but my computer doesnt really let me play it at a good quality, it kinda goes slow on some parts n eventually freezes, so i decided ima build a gaming computer. Soon tho..
Oh and my aunt bought me Call Of Duty 2 but my PC sucks.. Cant play it.. Im hopin this one that Im building would let me play it.
This Is Wat Im Thinkin Of Gettin:

CPU:-----AMD Athlon 64 3700+ San Diego 1GHz FSB Socket 939 Processor
Motherboard:----Asus A8N-SLI Premium ATX AMD Motherboard
Memory:---------1GB PC3200 DDR DIMM Memory
Graphics:----EVGA GeForce 6600GT 128MB (8x PCIe Graphics Card)
Soundcard:--(Dont Need One, MOBO Brings Realtek ALC850 Integrated)
HDD:--------Maxtor DiamondMax 10 250GB 7200rpm SATA OEM
Case:----AeroCool AeroEngine 2 Case - Black (it gotta SideWindow lol)

If you think theres anything i should change then let me kno, and umm... those things up there are only temporerly, ima get another HDD and another graphics card on it too, i just want those stuff on it to start with til i get more money. So yeah, go ahead n gimme advice... and a quick question, u think itll run Call of Duty 2 after i get wat i put on that list? *crossing my fingers*

that rig looks fine for gaming but make sure that you buy the correct graphics card remember it has to PCI-Express and not AGP.

i cant really tell if you have got the right card there as youve put 8x PCIe but PCIe should be 16x
