How good is a 500$ custom built computer these days?

[111BLACKLIGHTNING111]

I plan on getting a new computer so that I can play through all the Hitman games (though I might end up getting even more attached to Bateson as a result) and eventually Absolution.

So, what is a 500$ computer capable of?

You've already inquired about this in your previous thread.

One thread on the matter will suffice.

Thanks!
