I play CS1.6 competitively and enjoy every minute of it too. I'm trying to learn more about computers so I can build a new one (currently selling this one, but this isn't a for sale thread so please don't clutter it). Any ideas on what I could do next? Budgeting myself just under 2k. Oh and here are the accessories I have for my computer:

Welcome. Ok to the topic.
You could probably get around $900 for that rig (Give or take $100 depending on where you are).

Budgeting under 2K, if you only play CS 1.6 then I would actually recommend staying with the computer you have now. I mean, it's just a bit better than mine and yet I play Crysis on high graphics and have no problem.

I also play COD4, WoW, Fear, CS:S, etc. Very many games. The CS1.6 was just something about me :good:

But, as of right now, I can't even get the damned machine to work...

Well, your machine can run all the games you listed. As to why you can't get it working is a totally different matter. I would suggest having someone look at it before you sell it, it truly is a good machine and with a bit of overclocking can be really great.

It's under warranty for over 2 more years, I just can't get a tech at 5:22amCST... and I am trying to OC it. I got it up to 3300MHZ on 250FSB and 6x multiplier =)

Only a 6X multiplier? Are you sure, I mean my Intel E7300 has a 10X.
And do you really need to get a tech right now? If you can't get a tech then you obviously won't be able to sell it ATM anyway.:rolleyes:

I'm using 6x, but it has the capability of 11x (in .5 icnrements).
And I want to play games right now, the for sale is just if someone wants to buy it. If it isn't sold in 2 weeks I'm keeping it because the case is such a large and great shell for using.

And I have to wait until 9am PST to get a tech... SHOOT ME lol

I had just started to OC it when the gfx cards wouldn't send a signal. I was going to try out 350 FSB and 9x multiplier... not at first, but eventually work my way there
 
Welcome mate, nice rig

That is a good idea. I was talking in AUD, but still, even in USD a computer under 2K that is good will still be there.
If it is custom made you can even save 2K!
