Bumping topics is acceptable if you're actually meaning to talk about them.
On a more relevant note: Portal 2 is fantastic. Co-op is so fun.

OH MY GOD i was playing portal 2 a week ago with a friend for four hours. we started from teh beginning (co-op) and got to the fan level. the one where you have to shut the fan off. :/ its hard.. but extremely fun.

I'm at the last level in the first game... I don't have started the second yet, but after looking at a copule of gameplays on YouTube I decided that I had to absolutely to get it
Now what I need is a more powerful PC... But the budget isn't high enough T__T
Can anyone suggest some not too expensive parts(GPUs, CPUs, RAMs and stuff like that)??
Maybe NOT 3.8 GHz processors, and GPUs with 2 GB memory dedicated, thanks... I'm not a master in finding cheap thing on the Internet, meh ^_^"

Maybe NOT 3.8 GHz processors, and GPUs with 2 GB memory dedicated, thanks... I'm not a master in finding cheap thing on the Internet, meh ^_^"I've got a GPU fairly cheap 1 or 2 years ago, and portal 2 works great on it.
It's the ATI Radeon HD 5450
I would suggest checking out the other HD 5*** and HD 6*** series as well.
I now have a better one now. Mac, so I mostly use it for PC games.
For the CPU I would go to a site to find the best prices.
Use google translate or something to translate it NL->DE, http://www.vergelijk.nl/processor/

Haha... Thanks but I neather speak german nor I am one... I just put the German flag because I love Germany XDD

Post a price-range. Depending on how much you want to spend, you can get better parts (obviously).
For most games, the GPU matters most. So splashing out on a good graphics card is the best way to go to increase performance in games. That being said, be wary about your PSU output and whether it satisfies the requirements of the new card.

Oh yes, I know that I'll have to pay attention to the power supply... But I want to build a new PC on my own, starting from zero, so I won't use anything that I already have, because those parts are
very old... (almost 13 years
)
Anyway I think the price-range is something like 500/600 €... Maybe till 700€... But I'm not finished in "collecting-money" yet
FFA FAN CLUB RANK: HRM!Posted 1 year ago # -
That amount should get you a decent PC for running games.

A decent PC would be around that, yeah.
Are there any other consoles around that price for a decent one?
there must be some macs floating around there...

no, you shouldn't buy a mac just for gaming, waste of money.
But when building a pc on your own, I would suggest paying attention to the CPU cooling, and the power supply. Which is one of the most common mistakes people make when doing that. Why do you love germany? Geek-land? Greets for Holland btwPosted 1 year ago # -
I know that buying a MAC just for gaming is a real waste of money, in fact I said I'm not intrested in them for now, even though their OS is way better than WIN...
But why do I have to pay attention to the CPU cooling? I mean, can't I use the fan included in the CPU box? Because I don't think I'm going to use it to the extreme, heh...
The power supply is another important thing, I know... I'll calculate how much energy will every component use, so I'm okay for this
The main problem is finding the parts without paying too much
I thought that I could -somehow- get them in a wholesale... But still I don't know how & where...
Anyway, I love Germany -like Japan- because it is very organized, plus this summer I met two Canadians who were making a sort of "Euro-trip" with a friend of theirs who was German and he talked very well of it
But in general I love all the Northern European countries -including The Netherlands- because of their culture and population... I'm really getting bored of Italy, but I'm not really Italian so it's okay, I suppose
EDIT: OMG
I was looking for some GPUs on the internet and I found that nVIDIA's and AMD's last models were around 700€!!! Is that normal?!?!

The latest generation of hardware is always very expensive. But it pretty much halves in price once the next one comes out. With the older generation being more than capable of running new games.

Never buy a mac if gaming is even partially involved. Because sooner or later there will be a super-awesome game you want, but won't be available on mac. You can always use bootcamp, but you'll get a better hardware/cost ratio if you buy a windows pc.

That's pretty much it. As bad for competition and innovation as it is, Windows have the gaming market completely cornered.

They do have a semi-monopoly unfortunately. But thankfully, the hardware market for PCs is extremely varied.
As for components, it depends on your price point and functionality you are looking for. I would suggest Tom's Hardware as a good starting point.
