I have a 4850 e2180 @ 2.9ghz and play at 1280x1024..

I was thinking of one of the following: Grid, L4D , Mirrors edge, Arma2(performance?)
 
L4D is worth it if your gonna be playing online. You shouldn't get too bad a preformance off of ARMA 2, Mirrors Edge is a good original idea BUT short, Grid is just a great solid racer.
 
hmm fair enough.. i hopefully will get it sometime.. I'm quite impressed with the performance of arma 2 under the 1.02 patch..will have a go at upping the graphics etc

Hi, is it possible for you to give me some info on your overclock? a guy in my clan has the same CPU as yours at stock 2Ghz, and he cannot get Arma2 to run, what cooler you got and what BIOS settings are you on, volts etc....
 
Left4Dead is only worth it if you've got a large group of people who play regularly....ie the OCUK forums. If you're billy no mates, the appeal wanes quickly.
 
i think i'l get l4d but im quite mifffed tbh.. arma2 was meant to be amasing and its just too buggy and slow to be fun.. The smaller missions are fun, but the larger ones are just boring.. im very tempted to get a wheel..

Hey.. i have the arctic freezer 7 pro , but better ones cn be aquired nowadays..
cpuz reads my voltage to be 1.36, but its set as 1.38 in the bios.
Bus speed is 322.8mhz
multiplier is 9x
memory is at 664
ram volts @ 2.0

if you need any other info then just ask.. TBH unless he's got exactly the same motherboard and ram thos settings may not work.. You want your memory to be running at stock , not overclocked, and when you've found some stable ground try and slowly incease the settings, to a point where you are either happy with the voltages, or anymore causes crashing.

He'l need some good ventilation aswell, my processor temps have gone up a lot since ive clocked from 2.6 to 2.9 some im getting some new fans sometime
 
L4D was boring IMHO - the novelty goes very quickly with that kind of reprtition. Same as Mirrors Edge really - it's not free running if you can only go one blooming way! The graphics were very garish (sp?) as well.

Grid I enjoyed and, as others have said, thought it was one of the best driving games I've played in a good while. Very good competition from the other drivers and nice, varied, races and types of races such as drift, etc.
