New Intel Build-Help Please

[bales810]

Hey guys and girls. Long time lurker here, first time poster. Anyways I've inherited an HP with a P4 651(3.4, 800fsb) its an LGA 775. Anways my old desktop is a little long in the tooth, P4 2.6c ATI x800xt aiw. Im looking to build up a new computer with the 651 for 300-400$. Heres what I've come up with so far:

Abit IP35-dont really need the pro version-90$
ATI 3850- my monitor is only 1280*1024 so I think I can crank the settings on the resolution even with the proc. -179
2Gb ram-40-60$-stuff is so cheap now I cant believe it
80gb SATA Seagate-from HP
PS-No idea really. Prob around 50-60$

Anyways do you guys think my new build will be able to handle COD4, Crysis, etc. I know the proc. will greatly limit me but Its not really in my budget and with the Abit I can just buy it later and drop it in to upgrade the build. Any opinions would be helpful. Thanks.

Sounds like a good plan to me. It should be able to handle COD4 well but not Crysis. Though I could be wrong. I have yet to see benchmarks with Crysis using a highly clocked single core CPU. But most likely that P4 will limit you a bit.

Anyway I recommend this set of RAM since it can OC pretty high if you ever get into overclocking and it's a pretty good deal:
Crucial Ballistix BL2KIT12864AA804 2 x 1GB DDR2 800 RAM - $60

According to my calculations and if you go with the RAM I mentioned above and your current selection of parts, you have about $70 left over for a power supply. With that in mind I recommend getting this high quality PSU:
Enhance ENP-5150GH 500W PSU - $68

Yes I'll definitely be overclocking and cranking the P4 to the max with my TT Typhoon. Thanks for the input.
