Or what would be the cheapest computer I can buy that could run HL2 and stuff like that?

Sik · 07-28-2010

Got mine for around $300 and upgraded the video card for about $40. That was about a year ago so you can probly do the same for cheaper. Mine runs most source games pretty well.

Monte · 07-28-2010

Thanks, do you know what your computer is called?

Sik · 07-28-2010

Compaq QF5110 I'm pretty sure. Dual core AMD with 3GB of RAM.

Monte · 07-28-2010

Thanks.

Why do people always ask this question?

Athlon II X2/X3/X4
4GB of RAM
HD5670

I think all that might fit in less then $400, not to mention actually run Source on High.

Depends on where you live, and what your currency is really. I hate giving product ideas just to find out they live in some country I never even really looked at electronics sites for.

Plus what your budget range would be. Rather than asking for a cheap system, tell us what you have to spare, and then we can start suggesting some ideas.

I'm actually broke right now, but I think I'll be able to have at least 200 American dollars by January.

Just $100 is barely enough to get you a 4GB memory kit. You would still need a CPU, GPU, motherboard, hard drive, optical drive, a case... and a powersupply of course.

Why does everyone always overdo it by so much. My rig works great for games, though i probly should have shelled out a little bit more on the video card.

Jon Jern · 07-29-2010

Because Salanos can tell the difference between 60 FPS and 59 FPS and he just can't stand it.

Last time I was asking they said somewhere between £350-£500, so at that rate you should be good to go by this time next year.

Same time as me
