Intel is the way to gozz

Ok then. Tell me why you wouldn't go with AMD. I'd like to hear it.

Ooooo. A Phenom III (3)? And actually, Macs make up very little of the market share and only recently began using Intel chips. Most PCs use Intel chips. You could actually say, "Silly Apple, Intel is for PCs!" (Like in the Trix commercials... Get it? Lol...) IBMs PowerPC is for Macs. It was what actually made them different.

But on topic, of course that thing will run Counter Strike. Almost anything will run Counter Strike. Quite swimmingly, too. It just won't run much else. Seriously, build your own and don't get ripped off here by the prebuilders.

Its ok for a little over $600 but you wont be as impressed with it in games then if you get like say a $1500 Custom Built PC. PM if u need any help picking out parts.
