Dude a GeForce3Ti500 can play HL2 (and i've checked) ... not too well but it's capable ... somewhere between a GF3Ti500 and a GF4Ti4200 is the minimum for HL2. Ideally anything above Ti4400 can handle HL2.a decent 128meg graphics card capable of playing HL2
Then get some store to build you a custom rigbut I'd prefer to look for a complete system/tower instead of building one
I dont live over in England but it shouldnt be too different: it wont cost more ... wait that's a bad way of saying it. I should say "you will end up spending a certain amount of money anyways, you might as well get a good system or at least a system with parts you want rather than some jumbaloo of cheap parts scrambled together ot make the most profit"then it costs alot more if I buy it

Not a feasible option for everyone .. which is a good thing because then i can make me some cashif you're too busy to build it yourself...make time.

2. if you're too busy to build it yourself...make time.
3. if you're just too lazy to build it yourself...get off your butt.
in my opinion there is NO excuse to not build your own computer. its worth it, you learn more, you have fun...i dont see why people go and spend $2K on a manufactured computer when you could save $300 (estimate) immediate and overtime probably alot more. manufacturer upgrades will drain your wallet. just an opinion...

No need to justify to us (well not to me at least, I can definitely understand not having enough time) .... the point me and 4W4K3 are trying to convey is that it costs so much more than its worth to have it store bought. The second best option would be to find yourself a tech savvy friend to either do it for free or cheapThe reason I don't have time is because I've been out of hospital for 2weeks, I can barely get to a PC as it is..
