So I got a computer (it isn't new). I want it to be able to play l4d, tf2, css...

Should I upgrade it?

It's a HP Compaq d330...one of those low-profile computers.

Not sure if it would be cheaper to have someone upgrade it or just to have someone build a new gaming computer.

I willing to spend some money on upgrading. But I don't want to use all of my paycheck on it, you know?

Lol the best thing i can tell you is that you might wanna ave up and get 1000$. Then look at one of the posts about buying a new pc where cole posted links to diff computer parts and then build it yourself. It's under 1000$ i think and it'll be good.

Imo I would not spend money upgrading that. Instead you could spend 350$ for a computer that could run everything smoothly. I had found a 250$ computer and you could have bought that with a decent graphics card and it would run source engine. Just stick with this for a while and when woot has a good deal you should pick it up.

How am I going to be able to play cz when someone buys it?

Plus I got it for $89 w/o shipping + tax on tigerdirect... So it won't sell for much

I'll just save up the money. I;ve been pulling more hours @ work so I should be able to save up money quickly
