I already have 1gb (2 x 512) of this ram that i got for free Newegg.com - Crucial Ballistix Tracer 1GB (2 x 512MB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory - Retail
and i can come up with a monitor, OS, keyboard and mouse. Im going to be using this pc for basic purposes and playing counter strike source, maybe halo 2, FEAR, ect. I know the 7600gt isnt the best gpu but coming from a intel celeron d 330 and a PCI geforce mx4000 its a pretty big jump.
Any suggestions

For gaming you'll want a bigger hard drive, 80gb will for sure NOT be enough.
