Planning to buy a new PC with all thoses cool games in 2009 ?

might need to upgrade my processor to the Athlon X2 7750.. thats about it.

But I might just build a Core i7 desktop and give my current one to my sister.

I have been planning to build a new one for a while now. The last time I did was before Doom 3 came out and I've only done one video card and one RAM upgrade since. So hopefully I'll be building a new one finally sometime soon.

Prolly when a new wave of GPUs are released. Then again, I'm pretty happy right now with what I got.

I've just recently upgraded my entire pc for all the new games and some 2008 ones too.

Since putting my new computer together I have purchased Call of Duty: World at War and Dead Space.  I'll be getting Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead and Crysis next.

My new pc:

__________

Antec 1200 case

Asus Maximus II MoBo

Intel E8600 CPU @4.0GHZ

Asus GTX295 GPU @ 700/1500/1300

2x4GB OCZ Reaper DDR2

2x300GB Western Digital Velociraptor

HT Omega Claro+ Sound Card

I'm really happy with what I got.  A friend helped me decide on what to get and it saved me a good chunk of money.  If i need to I can upgrade my cpu to a quad core and not have to worry about getting a new mobo.  Eventually I may convert to the i7 cpu's but not until the price drops on them, the mobo's for it and the ddr3 memory.

I just ordered my new rig.

i7 940

6GB DDR3

GTX285

Rampage 2 Mobo

1000W PS

+ other goodies.

I was going to go Tri-SLI, but I'll wait until the GTX prices come down first and there is a decent liquid cooling solution for i7 machines.

At any rate, I've been out of PC gaming since Half Life 2, so I have a lot of catching up to do.

No, I'm planning to play them :)

No.

I haven't updated my PC since 2006 and I still can play new games with ease. When I can't, its time for upgrade. No sooner, no later. :)
