It's pretty amazing coming from vista,a core 2 duo E4300, and a ATI 4650.

My new one has windows 7,a 3770k and 7770 playing crysis warhead on max. It's awsome,but where do I start my epic journey as a pc gamer? I already have steam.

What else could I possibly be referring to in a thread with the name "So I got my new computer today"...................
Seriously? The reason for acting like such a **** is why?

It seems like an okay computer. But why spend money on a Vista Duo, machine?

EDIT:..

Sigh.. Sorry, I am on the goods again and misread your post. Great boost up. Trying getting into all the MMO's. Star Wars is going to be free soon and Guild Wars is coming out. I would also get Skyrim and GTAIV. Those are must games in my opinion. Right now I am currently playing Diablo III.

100? The computer?
Ohhhh I misunderstood your post. I thought the computer you play on now was the core 2 duo with vista. That is prolly worth around $100 if that. The improved version is beast ^^ haha. I would say try League of legends, minecraft, left 4 dead, GTA, COD.

Skyrim w/hd and post processing mods, GTA IV with icenhancer + texture mods, and BF3 on ultra.

I heard the new Batman game has great graphics too.

Also, you may want to get a better graphics card or get another 7770 and crossfire them to play the games I listed above at good FPS (depending on what resolution)

The guy just got his PC and you're already suggesting another GPU? Geez.

To the OP, your GPU is fine and can play those games at high setting's with a stable FPS. You don't need to play on Ultra to enjoy a game. Have fun with your new rig!

He talks about his old rig first, and then his new one. (To the OP, that is confusing, you should change it. I did the same thing and I'm sure nearly everybody that has read this thread has.)

The guy I quoted was talking about his new PC because he even brought up the 7770.

I'm assuming he got vista from his old computer.

Do you have the F2P games that are on Steam? If you don't, get on Team Fortress 2 and see why Valve and the PC trump any other publisher on any other platform.

You missed out on their Summer Sale promotion, but they have mid-week sales and if you are into buying games, you will find games less than 3 months old being offered for $40 or less.

I would suggest you get Origin also. While I hate how EA are trying so hard to compete with Steam, Star Wars: The Old Republic should be going F2P. I think it will be similar to World of Warcaft (free until, I think it was level 20) where up to a certain level, you can roam freely. Can't really complain with that.

Again, if you are into buying games, I will link you to some Indie game sites. For less than $20, you will get a game that s***s on games where the production costs are well over $10 million.

He's probably had it since Vista was released and never upgraded. It's very understandable as I still have 2 laptop's in my house running on vista.

Before I bought my PC last year I was running on Vista still.

I know, I was talking about why even have Vista to begin with.

Oh oops, I missread what you posted. I thought by vista duo you meant a dual boot between win 7 and vista.

Try League of Legends, it has the biggest player base ever at the moment.
Yeah I know the feeling, playing Crysis on top settings is so great :tongue:
