Hello,

I'm new to emuparadise forums, and this is my first post. I'm looking to get some information gathered on building a gaming rig at a relatively frugal price... and I mean cheap. I really only have one desire, and that is to play counter strike smoothly. So, here I am asking you for help. I'm pretty familiar and adept with computers, but I have never gotten around to building my own rig. I find that hardware specs, and the variety of products out there to be overwhelming. So, where should we begin?
