That's the most important stuff. I'm just wondering because this is my first good computer and I'm wondering how it will run games like Unreal Tournament 2003 and Counter-Strike.

Thanks alot.

Counterstrike should run no problems on that rig setup, but if you can afford it, get yerself a Radeon 9500 Pro for Unrealtournament2K3.

 
By no problem you mean 80+ FPS always?

And I'm looking into getting either a 9500/9700 Pro in the new year.

Edit: Also, how can I find my drive 'Volume Label'?

In cs you should get 100fps all the time with that setup. I would get a 9500 pro instead of a 9700 vanilla though.
 
I'd lose the 9000 Pro and get a 9500 Pro, go down a few notches on the CPU speed if you have to. If you're building primarily a gaming machine, the video card will make a bigger difference in your FPS.
 
Yeah pretty much every vid card from the past few years will run CS at 100fps constantly... though UT might be a different story w/ that 9000...though I wouldn't worry. Still a 9500 could save you some cash down the road...and I would definitley drop the proc down to up the vid card... I have to get UT2k3 soon and see how it runs on my box...lol
