So I've just built my FIRST gaming PC!

And now I need some games!

Any recommendations?

So far I plan on getting:
Deus Ex
Space Marine
Battlefield 3
Assassins Creed Revelations
The Orange Box

Thanks!

That'll keep you busy.

Fallout 3 and NV plus both the Mass Effect games are great but you need to invest the time.

Is that the original Deus Ex you've listed?

Nope the new one, I'm guessing I should play the first one as well?

Crysis/Warhead/2, Metro 2033, Just Cause 2... all a must for their eye candy.

Bioshock, Borderlands, Company of Heroes, Battlefield Bad Company 2, Starcraft 2, Batman AA... there are too many to name really, it's definitely worth going through the back catalogue of highly rated games. I spent my first couple of years of PC gaming doing this.

Awesome list. Thanks a lot!

Oh yeah Crysis 2

Hey guys! Having a problem with my new PC

It was working fine until all of a sudden when I went to put it on it wouldn't start properly! The comp starts up for about a second and the fan starts etc then it cuts off.. It will then come back again only to again, cut off. I have used different wall sockets, power cables and checked my connections in the case and still nothing..

Any advice??

Thanks!

Could be that the CPU heatsink's come loose. They can be a real pain in the arse to get seated properly, if it's come loose the CPU could be instantly overheating and causing you poota to shut off.

If that's not the case, like one of the other guys said, reseat everything, reset the CMOS by moving one of the jumpers on the board or removing the battery (should be a diagram in the mobo manual).

I reckon it's a BIOS issue.

Thanks I'll try that among some other suggestions when I get home
