Hey All,

after nearly 10 years I'm returning to PC gaming, other then the odd retro game I haven't gamed properly on a PC in a very long time as I've managed the PS3/PS4.

New PC is spec i5 6400, GTX970 & 8GB ram although I'm hoping that should run all but the top games is decent style max 1080p on my TV.

a couple of questions id like answering if possible :)

is it safe buying steam codes off digital retailers and eBay? after loving Dark souls on PS3 I want to go back and enjoy the original in 1080p and its £20 on steam but its only £8 on eBay... is this safe and within steams policy's?

do KOTOR/KOTOR 2 hold up gameplay and graphically?, I've joined in with the recent star wars buzz and would like to play through a full story or would Star Wars: The Old Republic be a better option?

any recommendations to make me feel justified in my purchase that will show me a game much better then my PS4 will do for me, I have played most of the big titles that interest me but is there something Microsoft/PC exclusive I've missed out on the past few years?

I now need to build up a decent steam library it seems :) I also have a windows 10 tablet that I'm hoping I can stream too when the TV is being used but I have no idea how well it will work/if at all

Should be fine ^^ Might need to lower a few settings down on a few of the newer games.

Ebay, im going to say no as it's a scamfest. G2A/play and such like Kinguin are fine. Here is a thread of daily pc deals

Don't know this sorry not played them as don't really enjoy starwars games.

Graphically Ryse son of rome, stuff like skyrim modded, the witcher 3. I assure you though any game you can get on console is a lot better on pc :)

If you're into Star Wars games and you haven't already played it then Star Wars the Force Unleashed is a decent game with an awesome story set in between episode 3 and 4. A must for any Star Wars fan.
