will my pc be able to handle games?

im planning to build a pc and im not too sure if its going to be powerfull enough. Its going to be mostly for games, like BF2. will this pc be able to handle these games now and in a few years to come or should i upgrade to something better?
thanks alot, i want as much imput as possible thx

AMD 64bit 3500+ (pin 939) 2000mhz bus speed
Asus: A8N-E motherboard
2 sticks 512mb ram DDR400 Dual Channel (basically 4 x 256mb)
BFG GeForce 6600GT 128mb (PCI-E)
160GB 7200rpm
16x DVD-RW

 

I agree with ddp more ram would be the best idea, do you have a budget?

 

more than a gig ram eh would 2 512 and a 256 be aight and what video card would you suggest, i dont want something over the top i wanna spend around 200-250 im not a HUGE gamer just getting into it so i dont need the best card but i want something that will last and be pretty good thx

 

Yeah that should be ok but you will not be able to have them running as dual channel you would need either 2 or 4 matching sets, if your not a hardcore gamer then stick with the 6600gt but maybe get a 256mb version, the 6800gt would be the better pick if you want it to last longer without having to upgrade.

 

how much more is the 6800gt and the asus A8N-E motherboard has 4 slots for ram so thats good news right

 

If your in the UK you looking at about £200 for a 6800gt and in the US around $269.00, 4 slots = 4gb

 

i live in canada lol

 

Oh well i was hoping you would say the UK cause i know a few good websites that have great prices.

 

will my pro be good enought to run that and would i need to get a diffrent mobo? or is mine compatible?

 

pro?

EDIT: sorry i guess you mean processor, what card are you talking about?

 

if i get the 6800 like you said would it still run with the stuff i plan on getting?

 

here i found the 6800 but there are two types, why such a HUGE price diffrence
Asus EN6800 TD 256M PCIE DDR TVOUT DVI AND VGA
$352
Asus EN6800GT 2DT 256M PCIE DDR TVOUT DVI AND VGA
$469

 

One is a normal 6800 and the other is a 6800gt, a lot of people say the 6600gt is just as good if not better than a normal 6800. The price seems rather high and unless you have that kinda cash then a 6600gt would be the easiest and cheapest way, the 6600gt is a cracking wee card that will play Bf2 and the likes of doom 3 great so you should be ok with it for a while to come. Sorry if i confused you i never realized just how much the 6800gt cost.

 

will i need a better pro or is the amd 3500 good enought and will it work with my mobo?

 

According to the Asus website yes it's ok.

 

alright sound good im pretty sure im going to go with the:
Asus EN6800 TD 256M PCIE DDR TVOUT DVI AND VGA
for $352

Everything looks ok, thank for you help. if anyone eles has input please go ahead
