Ok Guys,

Here is the deal, I have 950 bucks no more no less to build my friend a decent gaming rig. AMD/Intel doesnt matter, ATI/nVidia doesnt matter. 950 includes shipping as well so i'll try to be ordered alot fo things from the same vender.

The rig needs to be able to play cs source on 1280 by 1024 resolution without a problem.

Any help would be much appreciated, I'll be searching as well.

Brian
