ok I want to run hl2 at 50-60+frames

what do i need to upgrade.

I have

amd sempron 3000+ socket 754
512 DDR 3200 ram
and a fx5200.

I reckon i should upgrade my card first. Maybe to a 9800.
But maybe i shuld upgrade my processor to an athlon 64. This is where you come in


p;lz only ansa if you know hl2 well.
 
I don't know much about Semprons, but maybe you should chuck another 512 stick of ram in. The 754 socket AMD CPUs cost a bit more than the s939 ones, maybe you should just build a new rig?

If you don't though, I'd get a 3000+ - 3500+ or better if you can afford it, 512mb more ram, and a 6600GT at least. Or a 6800GS is you can afford it.
 
Throw in another stick of 512 and get a 6800GS,That shouldn't be a big hit to the wallet and it will let you play most game's no problem,That should do you untill you can afford to build a better setup.
 
The same advice for me.

Definitely go for some RAM first. If u have some more budget, then invest in a better graphic card.
 
but wait, remember this is just for hl2 and i dont want to run it on high necesserily, hl2 recommended is 512 ram...im just focussing on hl2 not bf2 and that shiat...
 
HL2 and BF2 both recommend at least 512mb of ram, But really you want at least 1gb for them, Even more for BF2.
