A Steam Account

Can someone explain to me what a steam account is i dont really understand.

 

steam:
a program that launchs games, CS, css,dod, etc.
a steam account is your account where you have paid for games, downloaded them off the internet.

 

O so you still have to buy the games though.

Like if i baught a steam account here that had counter strike on it would i need to buy cs or would it have already been baught?

 

You just download, it's allready bought. Just dont get scammed and ur good.

 

Alright thanks guys that all i needed to know now I just gotta buy a good computer that can play these games lol.

 

lol but ya gr is a good place to get steam acc's good deals

 

What is the difference between Pre-load Complete, 100% Ready, and Not installed I see on the steam accounts screenies. Which ones mean the full game is paid for and which mean it isn't?

 

if it says 100% ready or not installed its on the account if it says pre-load complete its on there computer but not the account

 

about any computer can run cs or hl1, i used to play those games on a 733mhz computer... you can always try

 

if you wanna play games like cs source and some new racing games and stuff on there you need a good comp tho

 

A good computer will set you back around 2200.

 

Please dropping 1000 will get you a good enough comp to play CSS on fairly high quality

 

Please dropping 500 with no monitor/os could get you playing on high, most of the stuff maxed out.

 

or less if you just bought upgrades for your own comp lol

 

No probably more, if your computer is that old, and prebuilt it probably won't have a PCI-E slot.
