So, I bought episode 1 last night and it is great so far. I was wondering, since that was my first purchase off steam, are non-valve games also loaded throught steam if you buy them there? Say after I build my new PC, and I buy bioshock off steam, can I only play it on the computer I download it onto? cus ep1 is on this computer, but can I get it to the new PC after I build it or am I out 10 bucks? If so im never buying off there, but so far I liked doing it.

yes

As for your earlier question about Bioshock, I think you can activate your Game Key with Steam so that you can install it anywhere you want as well. I could be wrong though, and you may need to buy it again if you want such instant downloadability.
