The GeForce 5600 is old, no question about that...Look - if you don't know how different components work with each other and what they require from each other - go to a dealer and ask for a system "for gaming" or whatever you do with it. Don't go upragind single parts if you don't know what the fuck you're doing.About HL2 running so well - HL2 is a rare case. The engine it uses is made really well and it scales itself down really well for weaker systems. But rest assured that I'm not lying when I say that HL2 would look wayyy better with a modern graphics card.You have any opinions on bf 2142? and FEAR?BF 2142 I don't know about.FEAR needs quite heavy shit to run (well at least it was heavy shit when it came out), but it does look good too. It's a really good FPS aswell. There's really nothing that you wouldn't have seen before in other games (one element there, another one here...), but they got a good balance in there and some cool action. Plus the effects of destroying the environment are pretty good looking, though things don't actually "deform" or anything.Some say it's a scary game. It gives you a couple jumps, sure, but I'd call it more "eerie" and "spooky" than scary.
