I need to upgrade due to getting a dell 2005FPW monitor. I don't think my computer can game with the higher resolution. What I have is a..

Athlon XP 2500+
ATI 9700Pro
GeIL Value 1GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16820144310
Antec P180
400w power supply http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817159023

So I will be reusing the p180, memory and maybe the power supply (?)

So I need a motherboard, cpu, video card, and maybe power supply. I would like to be able to game at 1680x1050 resolution.

I don't have the much to spend though. about $500 ??

I would like to go the 939 route.

Also with the p180 case I need a PS with long cables.

Thanks :)
 
All I can really say is good luck gaming at that res with that budget...unless someone wants to prove me wrong.
 
Well it would also help to know what games you plan on playing at that res. If you're gonna play newer games like FEAR you're probably going to need at least a 7800GT graphics card wise, which will be about $300 alone. I don't really know what cpu to suggest for that res or anything or if the vid card is even accurate, just my $0.02 from what I've read and heard. Other people will be in here to offer up more options.
 
well right know all i really play is cs source, but I would like to get a new game like COD 2 or something.
 
The 7800 GT will be ok for you and you'll get solid 60 FPS if you ran medium or less setting for COD2.

well I got a DFI lanparty nf4 motherboard, nividia 7800gt video card w/ COD2, an amd 3200+, and a seasonic 600w PSU.

Think I did ok?
