Dude, No.

I don't want to be mean...but if you expect that thing to game...then you are way off...the FX 5500? That might game like...FEAR on the LOWEST settings.

The 50 dollar celeron D? That CPU will not cut it.

PC2100 RAM?

 

[Trivium Nate]

Ok What shall you guys recomend? please I want a really really good computer but I want it to be cheap yea I know no good computer is cheap but....

well heres what you NEED to change.
1.Mobo, get a PCI-Express slot. mabey a nvidia nForce 4 Ultra
2.Processor, you defently cannot play.. well with a celeron, thoes chips are for laptops. So i recomend a AMD 3500 or 3700+ Depends what your budget is.
3. Your graphics card will not play games like battlefield 2 or upcomming games for that matter. Its a outdated card.. so i recomend.. the.. geforce 6600GT OC with PCI-EXPRESS.. not AGP. AGP is slowly dieing. if you want to ever upgrade your graphics card you can only do it on a pci-expres slot. AGP is DEAD.

Well i hope this helps. ill probibly add sites to this stuff later, but i got to go. See ya later.

but for that i have the processor, hard drive amd memory already.

ur definately gunna want pci-E slot

go with an amd processor (god! i cant spell tonight)

ur ram looks good, but you want a sata hard drive

use newegg.com, it is MUCH easier to find what u want there.

go cheap on the case, 400w Power suply unit should do you.

for the love of god get a better vid card!

if you are really tight, try this vid card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16814121179
you wont see eye candy, but you will run most games at at least mid settings.

ya thats the card i recomended but only if he has a tight budget. the 6800 series is really good too. And then it just goes up but the geforce 6600GT will play batttlefield 2 well.
