My brother has a 4 year old dell that he wants me to bring up to gaming specs. He wants to be able to run gears of war, team fortress 2,counter-strike , battlefield 2, unreal tournament 3, and left for dead at med-high settings at 1024x768 resolution.
I was plaining on using the same case if I can I know dell dosen't use ATX holes but if I cant I have a spar old and ugly case he can use, the same hard drive, and I got a spare 500w PSU he can use. So all he needs is a CPU, Motherboard, RAM, and GPU.
Here are the parts I picked out let me know what you think.
Mobo:
MSI K9VGM-V AM2 - $44.99

CPU:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ - $49.99

RAM:
