If all you're doing is games, the i7 is overkill. Get the i5-2500K. Best processor for its money with its insane overclocking capabilities. But even at stock it's already faster than anything you could possibly need.
Hmm, I may do that. The i5 3570K is only $10 more than the 2500K though and is the Ivy Bridge so it should run cooler. That's good to hear about your 660 Ti too. Glad I went with that one and I'm looking forward to seeing it perform in person.
What about memory? I was considering going with 16gb but most games I looked at only recommend up to 4gb so now I think 8gb should be enough. |

| That's not a bad idea dj! I may do that with mine once the 660's get around $100. The motherboard I'm getting supports SLI so that would work out good. |

I've had a 500 series for a year or so and can throw pretty much anything at it at 19x10. A 600 series should last you awhile.
Thanks! That's good to know. It will be a while before I can do another upgrade so I want this to last. I'm also getting a 3rd Gen i7 CPU to go with it. |

Which one did you get John? Not sure which generation you are upgrading from, but how does it compare to the 500 series? I have a 560ti (awesome card) but I'm looking at upgrading again. I'm not even sure which one I'm upgrading from! I got it about 6 years ago though so that shows how old it is.  I could look it up later at home but don't remember the model right off..
I am getting a GTX 660 Ti though. I was looking at some higher 600-series models but this seems to be the best card for the price.. at least for the price I wanted to pay. I also considered getting a high-end 500-series at first, but when I saw the 660 and above come with BL2, I decided to get it instead. |

I couldn't resist any longer. It will take until Xmas for Borderlands 2 to be that cheap again, and it hasn't even shipped! I broke my "no buying a game until a week after it has shipped" rule. Hope I don't regret it.
I can beat that! I'll be getting it for free!*

Gee, I think Amazon may be having a sale on Crysis... Steam has a sale on it too. At least they did the other day when I got it. |

| Yeah, it's wild how they can reduce some games so much even it is only a limited time. I haven't used Steam for long but these kinds of sales make me want to always wait for a game to go on sale before I buy them! |

I got the bundle even though I already got Trine from a Humble Indie Bundle a while back. Looks pretty good..
There is also a Crysis bundle on sale which I bought as well. I haven't played either of the Crysis games yet but I wanted to and this sale convinced me to buy it!

I'm looking to upgrade my PC finally after about 6 years and was wondering what sites are good to buy from? I like Amazon and Newegg, but are there others with better prices or selection?
It would be cool if someone offered a discount for buying several items together such as CPU, motherboard, memory, GPU, etc.. I see Newegg has combo deals for a few items but it's pretty limited. |

I don't think it's a scam, but I don't think it's going to be anywhere near successful, either...
It already is successful... for the developers! 
Seriously though, I have backed several projects so far and hope none of them fail to deliver. Most are by companies that have made or do make similar products as the ones they got funded though so I'm not too worried about them. I'm sure some may not deliver on time but a little delay would be ok.
I really like those like Double Fine's Adventure game Kickstart because they constantly update their backer forums with info and videos of their progress. I think it's great that we will get to see the entire progress from brainstorming and concept art to programming and development of the game. And Tim Schafer is too cool.. |

If/when they patch the game so I can play it off-line I'll probably restart/finish the original campaign. Until then, I won't be buying the expansions.
So the SP campaign requires you to be online too just like Diablo 3?

They do not check or verify anything AT ALL.
You're right! Someone posted a flight sim where you fly into the World Trade Center! That is some BS there. They should at least glance over the games to make sure nothing like that gets submitted. At least most people are giving it negative comments and thumbs down.. |

A few things:
It would really help to see what's popular/trending...
Also, when I hit the back button after viewing a project, I'm taking back to the page I was on, but some of the projects have changed.
Pretty sure I've seen the same project on multiple pages a few times...
I like it, but trying to shoehorn it into the existing steam workshop format isn't doing it any favors...
It appears that the order is constantly being updated or something. Don't know if it's from people "uprating" it or new games being added to the list though. It would be nice to sort by popularity too. |

They need to rethink parts of this, some fans are going to nominate games that are potentially stolen. I hope they have some oversight on this.
I would think they (Steam) checks for stuff like that before they allow it to be voted on. |
