My PC is old now. Is it quite slow to be using nowadays?

I was thinking of getting some FPSs like Half Life 2. Haven't played one in ages!
Will my system be able to run it do you think? I have run Halo on it....
it was very playable, I think i just relaxed a bit on the graphics.

I was thinking of building my own system sometime. Is that a wise option, considering cost? (I know HOW

)

It is quite slow nowadays but if it does what you need, why worry about it?

Your PC just about meets the min specs for HL2, how well it will run I don't know but according to the specs it should run

Building your own is a wise choice cost wise as well as you know exactly what you're getting.

Hope this helps

Master J

Cheers for the info there.

Yea somaybe it will run, I'll have to find out!

How much can one save, especially if building a hi-spec machine?

Lebowski

That really depends on where you go for the PC.

The saving might be quite a bit or really not that huge.

The difference is you know exactly what your getting in a PC you built, you know it's not just going to look good on paper and use cheap unbranded hardware.
