Hello,I would just like to ask you all how much a PC capable of playing games such as Doom 3 and Half-Life 2 would cost.I really know nothing of this whole graphics card malarky but since I am purchasing a new computer I would like some help in what type of thing I would need to get.

I would greatly appreciate any information.Cheers.

Or £270-ish'll get you a 360 in a few months time, which is supposed to be pretty powerul next to your average PC.

Well considering one isn't out yet I'd say 'no'.

They did apparently cut out the beginning of Doom 3 although me and Tilt managed to wander around for about 5-10 mins talking to people before killing anything so I'm not surprised they cut more out if that's how long the cut version was before you actually got to shoot a demon.

That's also hardly in the spirit of doom, in the originals you turned thefirst corner and there were demons to shoot - that's what I want from a doom game. The stroy is very very secondry to shooting a shed-load of demons. :D

Weren't both games cut down dramatically so they'd be playable on the Xbox?

Get a cheap PC and an Xbox (which'll has Doom 3 now and HL2 shortly).

Get some more games with the money you've saved.
