Dont laugh :D

But the last game i played on a pc was soldier of fortune about 10 years ago and things have moved on since then :p


Now i know my graphics card is only really suitable for HTPC and not the latest games but i fancy a dabble and just wondering what games from the last couple of years i should be able to play on windows 7 pro ???

Built a new computer last week and heres my spec:

Ivybridge i5 3570k
Enough ram to sink a ship
ATI 6450 1GB

Also am i best buying secondhand ?? or are older games cheap enough on steam?? as i have never been on the steam website and cant currently as im at work.

I like shooters and age of empires, settlers type of games

Thanks Mark
 
Thanks for all the great info

Next time im at home i will have a look round steam and check ou tthe free games

I dont know the spec of my gigabyte boards hd4000 but i thought my 6450 would surely be better specced????

thanks again
 
Thanks for all the suggestions, i will check them all out

If i do get into it, i may buy a proper graphics card.

So go on then, spec me a graphics card, im never gonna pay £400 but £200 - £250 would be ok

I have the Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H Intel Z77 if that makes a difference

ATI or NVidia??

What make of card??
