    This will be great at any of those, maybe not all at the same time :), but CS Source will run pretty much at max, if not highest settings.

    It definitely is a good buy,. I got a similar machine, same processor, hasn't come yet, but it should perform everything you have there very well.

    You are good to go. Sufficient CPU. Price went up by $40. You should feel lucky. One web page had the x3100 and 160GB drive and system was $549. Was about to order that now I end up with same system as you for $599.
