Just be careful about overdoing a build...well, I guess it depends on the games you play, but a shit-hot setup right now will be pretty good or middle of the road in a year or two; PC parts improve quickly.

^^^Thiiiis. What kind of monitor setup are you thinking? If you're only going with a single 1080p monitor, I feel like a lot of this is overkill. Are you using this for anything intense other than gaming?

This yes, my GTX 670 runs everything I need on Ultra smoothly. I'm running a 1080p 23" monitor and couldn't be happier.

My only complaint with my PC is that I need to replace my SSD to something bigger, I've already got the replacement, I am just dreading it.

Why do you need to replace it? Run the OS off the SSD and use the other thing for storage.

BOUT FUCKING TIME.

sell me a cheap ps3 so i can play last of us

[madmax1012]

check craigslist. they go pretty cheap regularly.

Metro: Last Light. Fuck man, it's good.

The shitty DLC controversy aside, I am really liking the game. So far the stealth elements are well done and i'm enjoying that playstyle with a sneaky backstabs and muffled Pistols. EB Games stuffed up the pricing for it so I got it for half price and I was immediately sold.

[Twangasaurus]

You know I realised the other day that I haven't walked into a store and bought a box copy for at least two years. Might have something to do with the fact that I worked at EB's for a year, kind of ruined it.

[MaxMaps]

I really should play all of these games that I have bought or got in packages but have either not finished or never even played.

Look at me be a first world american.

Even though PC hard copies are virtually useless, I still like having a semi collection. I'm kind of a hoarder like that, I keep all my boxes/packaging for pedals and computer parts - just cause.

Yeah I hear you, games are just about the only thing I don't "collect" and I think it's mostly because before I switched to PC I never kept my old consoles, they always went into funding a next gen machine. I think I am slowly getting less enjoyment out of collecting stuff because I value having less clutter about more than I used to. My music collection brings me endless amounts of pain, I just ran out of storage again so I am either going to have to fork out or go completely digital. Sucks.

I've been really addicted to the Uncharted series. I borrowed the first one from my girlfriend's father and beat it in a day or two. I really enjoyed the entire story line, up until those stupid fucking monsters came out. I'll still complete the series, but it lost points there.

Yes.

[Wes Mantooth]

Ordered my pc parts today. This rig is going to be a beast!

-Corsair Carbide 500r Case
-Intel Core i5 4670k
-MSI Z87 MOBO (I know you all said Gigabyte but I got a combo deal with this and the processor and saved $100, plus it is pretty well reviewed)
-Corsair HX850 PSU
-MSI N770 GTX Nvidia GTX770
-16gb 2133mhz GSkill RipJaws RAM
-Corsair Neutron 120gb SSD
-1TB Western Digital HDD
-Asus Blu-Ray Drive
-Corsair Vengeance K60 Mechanical Keyboard

I'll be using an old HDTV as a monitor until I save up for a nice one that I really want.

[ChetMagongalo]

I have the Corsair K70 keyboard and I FUCKING love it. good choice
