Recommendations on system, please.
My sister is looking for a machine capable of running games like Left 4 Dead. I can probably slap something together, but some recommendations would be appreciated. The budget is $500 before taxes. Don't need screen or hard drive. Thanks, folks.

I'm aware of the requirements. I'd go for the cheapest parts to get the job done. I would like opinions on the best value under $500. I'd probably go for the cheapest Asus board (~$80), and an E5200 ($90). I'm not sure what there is for video. I'd go with either nvidia or ati.
