Well, new rig (see pic at the bottom) hopefully on it's way.

Now, I am still greatly into console gaming as I have been for the last year or so. So mainly just a thread about what pc games have I missed? Aside from ARMA2 hehe.

Been smashing Borderlands on the 360, love it and will keep at it on the console me thinks.

You might have noticed that Left 4 Dead 2 is about to launch.

I was in the same boat as you where I hadn't touched a game on my PC for about a year but now it's my PS3 that is sitting gathering dust.

Not wanting to open a can of worms I think it's to do with the fact that online games are so much better on the PC - See various other threads on here for more info.

Yea, agree 100%, will be picking up the usuals, such as TF2, CSS, maybe L4D2 and MAYBE, MAYBEEEEE WoW... Been craving it as I got nothing to do over the weekdays in the winter (non biking season so the bike gets put in the garage when back from work and thats it :()

Your rig is massive overkill for all of those games.
 
Personally i'd change the graphics card to the new ATI 5 series.

With Win 7 and Dx11, it'll be worth it.
 
Get into some good RTS's, as you don't really get them on consoles
I recommend the Total war series, Company of Heroes and Men of War :)
Should keep you going for a while, if you like RTS. Oh and Anno 1404 for a change of pace.
Also grab Batman: Arkham Asylum if you haven't consoled it already.
Of course, the half life 2 games are a must, modded with the fakefactory cinematic mod.

Hmm what else... Call of Duty MW and WAW maybe? Even if you have played them on the console you can't beat fps with a keyboard/mouse (in my opinion!)

That's all I can think of for now as you probably already played the obvious ones like fallout 3, bioshock, Crysis etc.
 
I'd also advise a different motherboard. I've got the X58M and I've had no problems with it, but it's a bit cramped, and it'll look silly in the Lian Li.

Edit: Get this

I am off to cower into a corner as the misses just had a huge go at me so not allowed this :(

My PC is 3.5 Years old, Still AMD X2, with a DX9 graphics card, but it does everything I need, I can run DoW2, I can max out any steam game like L4D etc so I just can't justify an upgrade....

Technology seems to be advancing so much slower than it use to!

Jcb33.
