You should buy Crysis, Spore, Quake Wars and Supreme Commander when they come out. They are all superb reasons to upgrade a PC. I would definitely recommend getting into online gaming too with the likes of Counter-Strike: Source and Battlefield 2. Plus you can't go wrong with a spot of World of Warcraft on the side.

Good for you. First game you get when you make your PC should be HL2. So many mods.

Go to the PC hardware forums and ask them to make you a Pc for a certain price on newegg.com then get the parts and send them into Bestbuy or Compusa and they will make the PC for you.

yeah sumthin like that, they are just way expensive right now:evil:

Do you feel comfortable building your own? If so tell me your budget and ill give you a list of parts to buy.

EDIT if money is an issue there are probably a tone of older games you can play on your currant PC. What are your specs?

Go the PC Hardware Forum here at GS. They will help you out. Or google a PC hardware forum, it will probably be even more helpful. You can easily build a PC for under $1k that can run all games maxxed at a decent resolution. I would still wait a little longer though, there are some huge price drops coming soon.

If you are going to get a game that's worth your money, get HL2. It comes to Counter-Strike Source, and hundreds of community-created mods for FREE. It's a good feeling when you go to the PC section of GS and see a new mod for HL2 which you can download and play for free. Oh yeah, HL2 is an awesome game :)

Totally agree. Iintel is dropping the prices on the C2D in april. Nvidia came out with some pretty good budget cards like the 8600ultra for $180. RAM prices never seem to go down though.
