    Fallout: New Vegas vs. Fallout 3

    I deem them both good, although being an avid fan of Fallout 2 it seems like New Vegas captured a little bit more of that same feel than did 3. As for the DLC, I've gotten through most of the F3 DLC and Dead Money for NV creeps me the hell out, so I got my money's worth out of it and have...

    Screw PC gamer, let's make our own 'top 100 PC games list'

    Most of mine have been brought up before (Homeworld, Deus Ex, SimCity, Unreal Tournament), but I didn't catch one that I squandered a year (and many, many more hours since) of college on: Egosoft's X-series. -Pirate Argon Nova, X3: Terran Conflict I don't think I've ever quite reached that...

Probably not going to be able to tell much of a difference between 60 and...

    Thanks guys, just the input I'm looking for. Okay, i7 swapped for the i5, opted for the P8P67 Pro (or UD3, gonna do a price comparison here in a bit), switched to the G.Skill Sniper, and swapped the cooler to the 212+. New questions: To Crossfire or not to Crossfire? As mentioned above and by...

    My first "scratch" build

    Hey everyone. Stumbled upon this forum while researching my new computer build and thought it'd be a good place to get a critique and opinions of what I had in mind. My purpose going in is for this to be a pure gaming PC. I'm done with school, so I don't need any kind of fancy-schmancy...
