Buy The Orange Box, you'll get Half-Life 2, HL2 Episode 1 and 2, Portal and Team Fortress 2. Team Fortress 2, is an excellent online FPS. Then you could try Battlefield 2, Counter Strike, Day of Defeat.

Getting the orange box would be a great start,contents mentioned above,TF2 is a very good multiplayer game to try if you don't play multiplayer alot,very user friendly and funh.Next get the

counter strike source retail box for $20-$30

you get CS:S(no duh),Day of Defeat:Source(one of my favorites), and Half-life2 deathmatch, which I never enjoyed but many others do

Even regardless of how good your machine is you should get Diablo 2. It's one of the greatest games of all time. And, as mentioned above, get the orange box. Portal is my favourite game ever, and the orange box is the best deal you'll ever get (going for $40 on Steam now, I think)

Thanks everyone.

As soon as I pick up my PC tomorrow I'm gonna go and get some of these. I already have the console version of The Orange Box, but people have still told me to buy it on PC as it is soooooo much better.

Cheers people.

Don't listen to those people. If you didn't like it that much on your 360/PS3, you aren't going to like it that much on the PC. TF2 is a freaking lame game. So is CoD4.

I'd say get BF2, but it's kind of old. 2142 isn't nearly as good as BF2, so I wouldn't recommend that.

Really, PC online gaming isn't any more fun than console online gaming right now. Unless you like MMO's.

Team Fortress 2 for your team play needs. CoD4 for the intense Hardcore mode. CSS for a real challange. BF 2142 for 64 player battles. 2142 is an improved BF2. BF2 has better and more vechicles but most people play on servers without them. UT2004 for fast and frantic gameplay and tons of mods.
