Hey,  
I have a Mac but I would like to play Counter-Strike (1.6). I am planning on building a cheap PC for the sole purpose of playing CS. However, I don’t know where to start. I want the computer to be really cheap (around $300) and get around 100 FPS. I don’t quite understand video cards and which cards are good for what. Can anyone recommend a video card for this? Also, what processor should I get?

Thanks
