I've still been holding back on picking up a new PC because I want to know when Half-Life 2 is coming out, and I thought it would be best to wait until after this year's E3. Yet having read the stellar impressions of Far Cry on here, and getting a leaflet through the post offering this for ?799 from the local Computer World in town:
AMD Athlon 64 3200
1024Mb DDR Ram
200Gb Hard drive
ATI Radeon 9800
8x DVD-Rw
Firewire
5x USB
I'm tempted to get a new PC now, even though I keep telling myself it's better to wait. What do you lot think?
Are those specifications worth the price of ?799 for a relative PC novice such as myself? How well does a game such as Far Cry perform on what I've just listed?
And one last question...
Assuming Half-Life 2 comes out this year, would it most likely run satisfactory on the above?
It's the awesome state and future of the FPS market on the PC that's on the verge of getting me back into PC gaming.
