They are right about LE cards being crap. Look around some more.. I'm sure you can find a better PC for 800 CD.

all the PC's i've searched under 899.99 has the graphic card of geforce 6150 LE.//

You'd better get 2 8800GTX's, it will cost you $5000, I know because I'm a console fanboy. You're better off getting a console and only paying $60 for games, you don't want to get into pc gaming, it'a too expensive, I know because I'm a console fanboy.

Once again, don't do it unless you're rich, because I'm a console fanboy.

haha ... i aint into consoles man.. im pc gamin all the way!!! and im not rich :(

You could play CSS with a variety of GPU's, but I would recommend getting at least a 7600GT. They only cost $100 too.onemic

where do u get it? lol!

Such an old game ...

An old 6600 GT or 9700 Pro will run it just fine.

on my home computer i have a 4400 ti with 128 ram and it runs the game on medium specs no problemzbiggie

geforce 4400? yeah iwas readin the minimum system requiremetsn for css... it said at least a geforce 3 series...

the one im gona get is a 7500 LE.. and ppl say it wont be able to play!?

i'm lookin forward to get this PC..

i wouldn't recommend on the 7500LE though, get yourself 7600GT or 7900

i played it with a GeForce FX5200 and it was running smooth az 1024x768 in dx8 mode, with anti-aliasing off and anisotropic filtering tuned down to 4x

other options were on high as i remember ...

Please do us all a HUGE favor and refrain from posting in the PC games Forum.

Thank you and have a nice day!

As you folks already mentioned don't go with 7500 series..

At least get 7600 GT. You will play CSS perfectly and will also be able to play other games with good quality.

Upgrade smartly ^_^

You should try refraining from misinterpreting blatant sarcrasm when you see it. I couldn't have made it more blatant. I primarily game on my pc so I'd say I belong here just as much as you.

And to answer the TS's question, anything above an ati 9200 or geforce 5200 would do fine for medium to high settings in CS source at a high'ish resolution.

Its just that you get some people with that kind of mentality and its so lame. Thats what happens when I post too early in the morning.

Oh well my bad, and post on.

ive got an 7300 geforce, it runs well enought for me to play oblivion and dark messiah but im pgrading mine to. maybe to this card. i think thats good enought for stalker, crysis, bioshock?? isent it???

I run mine on a GeForce Proffesional 6600 which is more than enough

It can handle css. but if you can't build your own i suggest you buy that pc and buy a 7600gt for 100 here.

http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=11610BD3870&vpn=256-P2-N554-AX&manufacture=EVGA

If you only playing css and no other games just buy that pc.

Ok first off, you will be able to play CS:S with a 7500le, but on all low settings. (CS:S is very well optimized)

The LE cards suck. Get a better pc or at least build one.

LOL... geforce 6+?!! I ran it easily with a geforce fx 5200.VfighterX

probably run with one of those old Monster MX300 3d enhancement cards. the game is ancient

Depends if this is the only game you want to play, and how much money you want to spend.

Like someone else said the FX5200 will run this game, as will the 6600GT and 7600GS or 7600GT. But there is quite a big difference between these cards.

Dont play Counter Strike Source.

But if you really have to, i can warmly recommend GeForce 7800GT, it's getting a little old, but still a great GPU and you should be able to get it pretty cheap.

I have never been comfortable with the term, "good enough". As a PC Gamer you should obviously look a step beyond what you are going to be playing right now. A 7600LE series I feel will not offer you the longetivity you require, especially since it is an LE.

I am not too aware how strapped for cash you are, but I recommend nothing less than a Nvidia 7800 / ATI 1800 GTO. If you are looking at getting a new PC it will most likely have Vista on it, and that will most surely require at a minimum 1Gig of RAM for gaming, 2 Gigs of RAM is preferred.

If you can I offer a couple of options, if have some PC building experience or have some friends with PC building knowledge, build your own PC, its cheaper, and you will get more bang for your buck. You may take the option of just saving up a little bit more money for that better PC.

If you are going to become a PC gamer do not be a minimalist.

CSS is an old game and is optimized well, you shouldnt worry if ur going to be able to play it or not. When I first built my pc i was stuck with my intergrated 6100 (I was waiting for my card) , but even that ran CSS fine on high settings, lol...and that was on intergrated.

But if your getting a computer with 2GB RAM and a nice enough processor, then you should probably get a card to match, so you wont have problems playing other games. Shop smart, dont base your purchase on just one game which isnt hard to run at all. A 7900 might be a smarter choice. Or maybe a 8600 since its DX10 and can play games fine enough probably for ur needs.

Also, look for stuff on newegg, its cheap and fast, best site out there. And as others have noted, if u know somone who can build a PC then buy the parts and get them to build it. or just learn how to build one urself. it can save u alot of money
