Ordered a new PC

I ordered a new PC to replace my 5 year old Dell. I'm stepping up from a 1.5 ghz to a 3.2 pentium. At least now I can run some of the newer games and burn dvd's and cd's

.

Anyway, what's some of your favorite fps for the PC?

I played some UT2004 followed by Call of Duty on my old machine.
Then I pre-Ordered BattleField2 only to find my old rig wouldnt support it.
So I built a whole new machine recently and have been playing large amounts of BF2 online.

Oh and a little bit of CounterStrike: Source that came with Half Life 2. I guess HL2 is considered an FPS, but it doesnt have a huge online following like the others.

What model Video Card in your new machine?
New Machine Also a Dell?

It's a Gatewy dual core 3.2 ghz processor, 1 gig mem, 6800 series nvidia w/256 mem.
I went out and bought Half Life 2 just to get ready. Actually says it should play on my old machine, so I have been installing it. For about the past 2 hours. All of this online activation stuff is a pain in the ass though!!!
