Just upgraded my PC:
Config is as follows:

Processor : AMD Athlon 64 X2 3800+ (AM2)
MoBo : Asus M2N-MX
Ram : 1 GB DDR2 667MHz (OCed to 800MHz)
Graphics : Chaintech 6600LE 256MB PCI-E (flashed it with ASUS 6600LE BIOS)(Core : 414 MHz Mem : 500 MHz.Got a 3DMark05 score of 2042).

Is it a good gaming config.If not what else should i add.I play all d latest PC titles.Presently waitin 4 NFS Carbon & SC4: Double Agent.
The processor temp when idle is 39 - 42 C.At load its bout 50C.Sud i get new cooling.Plz suggest a good cooling sol at 500 - 700.

50 deg celsius is very normal operating temperature. No problems at all.

500-700 can only fetch u chasis fans , and not a good CPU cooler ... the temps are fine .. though u need a better GPU , as the one u have now will hardly be able to cope with the games ur easgerly waiting for ... 7600GS min.
