This will be my first time building one, though, I have built some before.
Before I name out my parts and what are better usages, I don't care about any PCI-E video cards and any high techy things that are new and out there now. I'm sticking with these old parts since I only have old parts!

I'm having trouble picking out a CPU and a fan/heatsink fan (If required) for my parts.
- Socket 939 for AMD Athlon™ 64FX / 64X2 / 64 processors
From those 3, which are best suited for games? Primarily Counter-Strike: Source, Half Life 2, and most Steam related games.
The graphics card, I got that covered, though, I'm sticking with AGP since my $600 CDN AGP card is extremely worth it!
Here is a list, if your patient to look at all of them.

Anything close to 3 Ghz since that is the maximum requirements for my games, unfortunately.
The fan, however, I'm not sure if I need it or it is required, if so, which, from the manufacturer; Thermaltake, is the best one?
Had a long discussion with Talon and WOW, it was long!
