Hi. Here are my current specs:
Motherboard: ASRock P4VT8+ (Socket 478)
CPU: Intel Celeron 2.2 GHz
RAM: 512 DDR RAM
HD: 80 GB
GFX Card: ATI Radeon 9550
PSU: Some shoddy 450w thingy.
I've had this computer for a couple of years now, and it really is awful. It doesn't get even get max FPS on CS/TFC/DOD/Natural Selection. Infact, on DoD and NS it's unplayable and on CS, I get 50 fps if I'm lucky. I also tried HL2 but it was like watching a slideshow, it was terrible.
I don't need a top-spec computer to run all games flawlessly, all I would like is a computer that can run CS at 100 fps, would be able to play Half-Life 2/CS:S and also able to play Battlefield 2 on Low/Medium settings without significant slowdown.
Should I bother upgrading? or am I best just building a new one? I don't know what are good parts or what are bad these days but I think I'd need to buy a new PSU if I was to build a new one (I got a feeling mine is dying)
Thanks for your time
