So, I came into some cash, and bought a new PC. It's all shiney and far more powerful then my old one.
What online games should I get? I'm not looking for an MMORPG (I don't have the time to dedicate to one, and the only one I'm interested in (DDO) needs time to bed in imo (although the beta was fun)
Say I want to kill things - Adam, you got any recommendations?

Well I feel you should have got yourself a 360 and a nice telly instead but I'd recommend the usuals like COD2, anything Half-Life related, or the latest UT. As you said though Mr Hicko in his role as the resident PC fan boy is your best bet for sound advice on anything PC related.

What type of things do you want to kill? Aliens, Humans?
Anyway the shooters that I currently play are:
Battlefield 2. (2 packs have come out already - Special Forces and European Force, Or something like that).
FEAR (Horror FPS that shits you up).
Call of Duty series (Currently play COD2 the most).
Counter Strike Source (Need I say more?)
Wolfenstein Enemy Territory (Free game and is VERY popular. Download from most sites and the newest patch also. Even better than RTCW)
Alex, Get yourself Xfire (free) and add me so I can join you in any game. If you have a microphone then come over onto my COD clans Teamspeak so we can chat in game :-)

Lol - still not interested in the 360 yet. Still nothing out for it that really grabs me. Hicko - COD2 & Battlefield 2 look good to me - I had W:ET ages ago, but never managed to get into it. I'll have to give it a whirl. I'm assuming COD2 looks pretty? I want an excuse to strecth the graphics card I bought

Excellent I'll get COD2 first methinks, and locate my mic from under a pile of crap on my desk, and sort out this Xfire shit. It's been years since I properly played PC games - Like original Counterstrike years - hope the Xbox hasn't ruined me and I can still manage M+K. I must admit, shooting Nazi's looks to be fun

Shooting Nazi's have never been so much fun :-) The patch will be out soon too with the SDK so all those crazy mappers can get to work. I have a video in another thread that I made although the quality is crap co it was recorded using fraps and then made in Movemaker but it's still good. EDIT, Here it is, Turn on the sound. files.filefront.com/ZeroSightwmv/;4746803;;/fileinfo.html

One day when it starts to struggle (In a few years lol) you could always chuck another GPU in and go SLI :-) You don't know how tempting it was to go SLI 1GB VRam... yes please But completely useless. Even 512 isn't that noticable over a 256 card unless your running at 2000*1600 (or whatever the resoulution is) with everything turned up to max. Steve - I'm not actually going to be online with it in a gaming capacity until next week, but I'll probably give in and pick it up friday. Any word as to whether you can ressurect Beta characters? I have a nice level 6 priest lying around, and would rather use him then start again, but I'm not sure if this is possible. If not, I'm tempted down one of the broken paths. Either Barbarian + rouge = evilness (Str, Dex, Con high, everything else a dump stat, or go with the ever present elven rangers and go for a crit monster. Decisions, decisions.
