I have perchased the game but my computer does not meet the system requirments. I was wondering if anyone could tell me where i could get a decent system that could play HL2. Please i'm dying to play.

Depends how much you want to pay...

You can either upgrade you PC and get parts which are suitable, or buy a new PC altogether...

Most new PC's will meet the requirements to play that game

i'll pay up to £850

Also depends on where you live.

Cheers

I live in the U.K. in tamworth if thats any help.

In the US with that kind of money I could build you an awesome system. Some online currency converter is telling me that 850 Brittish Pounds = $1609 US Dollars.

What do you have that you would consider keeping and I will try and show you what a new system will cost. for instance, will you be keeping your monitor, keyboard and mouse? what else?

btw: I just built my brother a highend 64bit AMD system with raid drives, Gig of memory, etc... under the cost you mentioned above.

.. the problem is that I only know US stores and prices.

If you want to build your own you can have a look at a pc show for some cheap parts and build 1 that way or you can take the lazy route like me and get a pre built 1 from a shop like TIME or TINY time owns tiny now but they still use there own names there pc’s are not that great as you can not upgrade that much with them but you get a lot for your money here are some links and what you can get from time for your money.
