Why not a bigger monitor?

What's your monitor? Do you have the gaming PC connected to a sound system? Or to your TV? Will you be overclocking your new PC? Would you be interested in 3D gaming? Do you want a new mouse and keyboard? Or really just the PC?

Okay, you want this for gaming so I recommend the following: A Z77 motherboard CPU: 3570K RAM: 8GB Graphics: Nvidia GTX 670 Hard Drives: one 120GB SSD and one 1TB HDD. Now, what's your PC right now? What's your monitor? Don't you have parts of it you might want to keep? Alienware and those Cyberpower guys are seriously overpriced.

Neither. Get the 3570K instead.

Better judgment when posting, please.

You can give Iorveth the sword and side with Roche.

It should be noted that Reynolds can do serious, and quite well too. See Safe House and Buried.

I'd change the case and CPU on that build. The case change is just an aesthetic choice, but I simply find the Corsair Graphite 600t so very, very purdy. As for the CPU, an I7 just seems like wasted money for almost no real gain. A 3570K is much better value if you must go Ivy Bridge, although a 2500K is even cheaper.

It should be noted I'm playing Deux Ex concurrently with Witcher 2 which has, to my mind some mightily impressive art direction. The character models in particular stand out as awesome.

Jensen's voice strikes me like the voice actor was trying to do a Clint Eastwood impression and kind of nailing it.

Only if you play it in DX9... I'm playing it in DX11. Between the yellowness, the ghastly character models and the bland locations, I see nothing aesthetically redeeming about it. Horrible art direction. I'm having a lot of fun, though.

Deus Ex: HR is one of the ugliest games I've ever seen.

Yes. Nokia is like responsible for 30% of Finland's workforce or something.

However, now that the GTX 670 came out, I'm trying to tentatively sell it for a tidy profit. With the 670 I should be able to max out Arkham City with tessellation and Physx included. Still, even if I don't manage to sell it, it's giving me great performance in everything, of course. I'm playing the Witcher 2 at 2560x1440 downsampled to 1080p. It is purdy. On my wishlist is also a new monitor. One of these, to be exact. A brilliant deal.

By the way, regarding graphics card the new GTX 670, is probably the best bang for buck in graphics since the 8800GT. It really is incredible.

You can easily play DS3 on a 4 year old computer. @Brayko: If you are feeling weaker as you level up you may be doing something wrong. Choose your equipment carefully, Picking an item to equip that doesn't support your playing style can make things quite a bit harder. And note that, on hardcore, the Witch boss battle is a bit of a jump in difficult compared to the beginning of the game. Dodge and harnessing your character's powers is the key.

Keep telling us about your recent endeavours in gaming, here. Myself, I'm going through The Witcher 2, and Deux Ex:HR, right now.

Closed for length.

http://i.imgur.com/Lgc9Y.png Have fun. Also, how about upgrading your PC and using your old parts on her PC?

I don't think the second Witcher has less monsters than the first one.

Roman Republic and Empire.

Avengers is pretty damn awesome.

I had never realized he was also Tommy in Trainspotting.

I'm reading the books now and I'd rate them as bit lacking but I'm still enjoying the series a great deal.
