CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ 2.6GHz

RAM: 2GB DDR2 667MHz

HDD: 40GB IDE

GPU: ATi Radeon HD 5450 512MB DDR3

OS: WinXP Pro

Something to play StarCraft 2 when a friend comes over. It's gonna be hooked up to a CRT. What do you think?

Btw, motherboard, CPU and GPU cost me 120 USD total. Those are the only things that are new. Everything else is spare parts. I mean, who would pay money for a 40GB IDE HDD nowadays?

Here is the motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157204R
