Hey everyone

I've just ordered myself some new bits to upgrade my PC at home as it is long overdue. I've got an Athlon 64 3200+ at the moment with an X1950, so I've not really bought any of the more demanding games recently (Company of Heroes, BF2, TF2 and HL2 are the most recent additions). So, what shall I get to throw at my new rig?

Details of the new spec are as follows:

Intel Q6600 G0
4GB OCZ 800MHz DDR2
ATI 2900 Pro 512MB

All this will go into my current PC, replacing the old parts and running with a WD Raptor and 2 other SATA drives. I will be using a 19" ViewSonic TFT monitor so max res will be 1280 x 1024 until I upgrade next year.

I enjoy all sorts of games, but mainly FPS, RTS and RPG's. I have mainly been using my 360 for the last few months and need something nice and shiny to try out on my PC once the upgrade is done.

I've been looking at World in Conflict and that looks really good. Any other suggestions?

Thanks peeps :)
 
Forgot to say that I already have HL:EP2 from buying the Orange Box on Steam. Bioshock was a definite option, it looks cool as hell so that's definitely an option.
 
dl the demos of bioshock and world in conflict - wic looks fantastic with all the smoke effects (but i don't think i'll buy it); bioshock played really well so i'll buy it, oh and ETQW is also muchos fun!
 
Awesome cheers for the suggestions so far (with the exception of Pong and Solitaire :P). I think I'll give the demo of World In Conflict a go, it looks really good.

Any others?

You have TF2 then, your gaming needs are fulfilled for the next six months, you may thank me later.
