Any PC Gamers around??

[Jared2608]

I was wondering how many of the users here enjoy PC Gaming? What games are you guys playing, and what rigs are you running them on?

I'm going to be ordering parts for my new rig at the end of the month, the components are:

Asus ROG Crosshair V Formula
AMD Phenom 2 X 4 965 ---> Place holder until the Bulldozer chips launch
Corsair XMS 3 1600 MHZ DDR 3 RAM 4GB Kit
1TB Seagate Barracuda Sata 6GB/s 7200RPM HDD
XFX Radeon HD6970 2GB Graphics Card
Mukii Asrock 750w PSU
Coolermaster HAF 912 Advanced Chassis
Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit

What are the other Gamers out here playing on??

I just play World of Warcraft on my PC. My other gaming I do on my XBox 360. Mostly been playing through Fable 3 (again) lately, but yesterday I FINALLY found a copy of the original Portal (also on the disc is Half Life 2 and Team Fortress 2. All for $30. Talk about a good deal!), so I plan on playing through that before picking up a copy of Portal 2.

HL 2 is really excellent! I've played Fable: The Lost Chapters on PC! It was cool too! I've always prefered pc gaming to consoles, the graphics are better and I can build and change my PC anytime I want!

I played World of Warcraft but am taking a break as it got boring after cata. I am currently waiting for Guild Wars 2 to come out and might try Star Wars also.

As for the PS3 - my game of choice right now is COD Black Ops.

I'm not really a player of first person shooters. I've just never found them interesting. I agree that there are good ones out there, I just personally prefer to play other games (that and I suck at them, playing Halo with the guys in my division during downtime in the shop made that VERY clear)

I run a gaming guild for Diablo 2 LoD and Sc2. I run both in my Windows 7, but had to get a patch online for D2 since it is such an old game. I also play Guild Wars.

I built my PC over 2 years ago but...
I got the AMD Phenom II 955(when it first came out) and OC to 3.8 GHZ
8GB Gskill DDR3 1600
Sapphire 4830 ATI card (my weakest component by far)
OCZ 120 GB SSD
about 1.5 TB of disk space on 3 other drives for random data
ASUS M4a79t Deluxe Motherboard
Antec 1k PSU
crappy cooler master 40 dollar case.

I score 7.2 as my windows "experience" score.


But since i only really play CSS, L4d, L4D2, WoW, and a few other older games on a crappy 19" monitor i can play them at full No prob even though my video sucks. When i built the tower i was given a very strict budget and I needed the 8GB of memory for a VM lab so all the money went into CPU, RAM, and Mobo.

I've been sticking to a lot of old games lately, though I play l4d, l4d2, or SC2 with my brother and some friends about once a week.

Right now I'm trying to figure out if I can get Pax Imperia: Eminent Domain to run on XP, and if so I need to find somewhere to pick up a disc.

Otherwise I'm going to try and talk the guys into picking up diablo 2 again, I can't wait for D3 to come out.

Intel Core2Extreme 6850
Gigabyte Mobo - Nothing special, just supports what I have.
MSI G1 Fozr - nVidia GTS250 1GB Video
4GB DDR2 800mhz
Xigmatec Mid Tower Gaming Case - 4 12mm Fans, No tools required, (all snap in)
Xigmatec Black Knight CPU cooler
Seagate Barracuda 10,000RPM 320GB HDD
Antec - Pure Power 850watt PSU - Selectable plugin's

I really don't play any games anymore. Last game I played was COD:Black Ops, but I rarely play those online anymore because I just don't have time.

This PC is 4 years old and will run any game I have at max graphic capabilities with at least 60 FPS.

edit: Does anyone still care about 4 digit steam ID's?

Starcraft 2 is awesome, but my current PC is kinda lame so it won't run it, hence the need for an upgrade!

@Tcutting, if you dropped a 6850 or a 6870 in there you'd still have an amazing rig!

I like FPS games and RTS games, and some RPG games like Elder Scrolls Oblivion!!!
