Morrowind and Oblivion

Tera: more of a time consumer than it is for entertainment

GW2: when I'm really bored

World of Tanks: starting to get burnt out

Age of Empires II

Waiting for Haswells to come out before I pick up Skyrim again, going to be a major improvement over my crappy dual core.

Off topic as it is I would look into those a bit more. The last data I saw showed that they really are not worth the investment. You may aswell grab an Ivy bridge.

Saw something along the lines of 10-15% increase in performance at the same price, it's worth a month of waiting. I don't think there's any info on how much you can OC them either. I'd be very interested in hearing more though, I'm getting a tad bit impatient not having a nice gaming rig. There's also the whole 1155 sockets on motherboards becoming obsolete as well, I can wait a month and not have to replace my motherboard twice, only the CPU when I need an upgrade next.

Yeah. Even TES wouldn't be nearly as popular as it is now if it didn't have the construction set. Same with many others games like Unreal Tournament, some of it's mods have turned in to proper standalone games like Red Orchestra. And the original Neverwinter Nights plugins were better than the main story(which was honestly average at best). Too bad NWO is made by Cryptic and published by PWE, it only needs EA to have all worst companies making it. Maybe then it would have a sub AND you had to pay for respeccing/being able to use the items you looted and whatever other BS that game has..

I mean overall if I may; the full specs.
I'm working on a new computer too, and I'm considering putting in an H100 to overclock my i5 to ~4.6GHz with a 7970, or even just a 7950, then adding ram for funsies.

I might also wait closer to release to see if there's a release date for the new card series too. I'm just curious as to what you have planned and the direction you're going.

Currently I have and will replace some of the following:
i5 @ stock 3.4 GHz
Asus P8P67 Pro mobo
750w Thermaltake
1TB Seagate + 2 500gig POS to replace
1x GTX 550ti
8gigs AMD RAM
120GB corsair SSD
TCL 39" 1080p w/e TV monitor that svcks with this 550

The only things that really need upgrading on my current build are just my CPU/motherboard, I'm not planning on starting from scratch, I'll just end up upgrading as needed.

My current build is:

Pentium® Dual-Core CPU E6500 @ 2.93GHz (2 CPUs)

4096MB RAM

AMD Radeon HD 7770

Monitor: ASUS VH238

1TB harddrive (not sure the company)

can't remember my motherboard's name, all I know is that it's crap and doesn't let me OC >.<

also don't have a clue what wattage my PSU is (If you can't tell, I didn't build it myself - my brother likes this kind of thing)

don't have a SSD, I'll get one eventually, but I don't think it's that big of a deal for me to live without.

I'm going to need more memory, already about halway through it, and I don't want to go any higher that it will affect gaming. I also haven't seen my comp go past ~ 2.4/4 gigs of ram, so I don't think an upgrade would be all that useful.

I swear my graphics card must be made for Skyrim or something, it's the only reason I'm able to play it on highest despite my horrible CPU, though I guess there's two different resolutions options on there.

Well my work involves Roofing, and its summer time, so i'm burnt.

I am also playing World of Warcraft, Diablo 3, Skyrim, and Oblivion, depending on my mood.

Also playing the New HD Age of Empires 2.

Idk, just waiting for more information on Beta, and game features. I can't wait for ESO.

Playing a lot of stuff, going back to try out user made dungeons for Legend of Grimrock. Giving Neverwinter a go, liking that so far, and playing some more skyrim since I haven't finished dragonborn yet.

Won't really have much time in May/June so just browsing forums and checking in on EVE and NBA 2K13 occasionally. I tend to make a new playthrough of NWN2 and ME once in a while(meaning a few months).

Yeah, soon as I get to the level cap I delete that character and roll a new one. I just wish they had paid the same amount of attention to the Klingon side as they did the federation side and had the same amount of PvE story to it as they did the fed side.

I've just shifted positions in RL employment so that is keeping me busy, outside of that I am playing Neverwinter when I get a chance. Its not bad and fun at the moment but I can't see it being a long term game.

Absolutely! Games like Neverwinter will be the death (hopefully) of the f2p model if that sort of garbage continues. Ridiculous and ruins what 'could' be a pretty decent MMO.

Play Skyrim, of course. ^_^

...mind you, I'm probably going to break about 4-months before. I don't want to walk into ES:O with Skyrim controls and visuals still fresh in my mind.

That Foundry system is awesome though. I have no faith in the F2P industry and I don't care to, but I want to see playermade content make its way into MMOs outside of addons/mods more in the future.
