How blown away will I be?

[Hovertime]

When I get my new computer soon, How amazed will I be with the graphics and gameplay? Here is what I do:

Only play on Consoles (PS2,PS1)
Play old PC games (The Sims, GTA2, Half life 1 on lowest settings)

I will play new computer games on MAX like FEAR and half life 2 with my new computer.

Now the odd question is: How much will I be blown away? Rate it from 1 to 100.

Yes I know I can't get great Frames on MAX settings with FEAR but overall. 100 points seems too high. Maybe that score could be given to someone who only plays Atari 2600 for all his life and then goes to FEAR right away!! Now that gets 100 points of being blown away!

looks like a good system, you should get a 3200+ though but if your on a really strict budget then just forget I said that.

Well you should be extremely blown away for the first month or so, finding the bludgest things amazing as I did when I got my computer. on the scale of how blown away you should be i'll give you an 84, just make sure nothing stuffs up or that will put you down to 50.

What do you mean by that?

be sure to install everything you need, first like drivers and direct x if it hasn't already been done to avoid compatability issues which might take away some of your excitement.
