looks okay for a cheap desktop but if your looknig to OC or want good performance i'd go for an asus, abit or gigabyte motherboard. then buy a good video card, one that supports directx 9. then buy an athlon xp 2500+ and OC it to 3200+ speeds.
of course that is over your $300 budget....
it's not worth to buy it coz I'm going to dumb it after several months and buy a good laptopQuote:

any motherboard with an integrated geforce 2 mx or geforce 4 mx video chip, along with any athlon XP processor (even the slowest models, like 1600s) will be quite good enough for counter-strike. the game doesn't require a lot of horsepower, by today's standards.Quote:
