Initial specs for ultimate gaming PC

Processor: AMD AthlonXP 2600+ 2.08 GHz >> The Athlon XP remains far and away one of the best-value solutions you can get.
Mobo: Biostar M7NCD Pro >> Has nForce2 400 chipset. With its dual-channel RAM interface, NVIDIA's nForce2 Ultra 400 is still the performance champion. But not everyone can afford to spring for a new processor, a motherboard and two DIMMs in one fell swoop. nForce2 400 chipset is the next best bet.
RAM: I prefer two 512 MB Kingston DDR 400MHz PC3200 SDRAM.
Cooler: The Coolermaster Aero7 looks very cool indeed and also includes a front or rear mountable dashpot that lets you alter the speed of the fan.
Graphics Card: The ATI Radeon 9600 XT 8X AGP card has 128 MB DDR memory to speed the graphics to the screen as well as a fan to keep it cool while it's doing its thing.
Monitor: I prefer an LCD or a 21" CRT Monitor.
OS: XP ... but depends on your choice.

Courtsey: THG.
