Ordered a new PC. What to play first?

You can could add Half-life 2 to the list, or even Unreal Tournament 2004. Both are good games that will put your system to the limit.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I was running UT04 on an Athlon XP 2000+, a gig of ram, and a GeForce 6200, and I ran that completely maxed out no problem. Half-Life 2 on medium to high settings with a GeForce 2 MX 32MB (same system, different card). If you're thinking those are gonna run his system to the "limit," think more along the lines of Prey.

Haha, well, I was just looking at what I have (2.8 ghz intel, 1 gig of ram, geforce 6600 GT OC) and yet both those games don't run at the fastest settings. =\

It's probably just my video card though. Yah, just go with just about any new game, like Prey or Age of Empires III or maybe even Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
