Disclaimer: I know next to nothing about PCs, but will intrude in this thread with some not-needed advice:
Priority#1
I suggest getting more RAM. I've had 512 for ages, and it just isn't enough to run the latest games. I don't even know if 1024MB is enough.
Prioriy#2
If you're getting an AthlonXP2600-processor, it will be outdated come Christmas. My advice when upgrading. Look what's the best on the market and then take it one step down. That way you get a good combination of price and performance. I'd spring for a 3ghz-thingie, if I was upgrading, which I suspect I will be when HL2 comes out september 30th, 2005.
Good luck with your new computator. :)
