Reccomended PC games for a new PC gamer?

Well my specs are the exact ones of the PC Crytek reccomended to play Crysis (my links dont really work, but its easy to find in a search, "Crysis PC" works I think). So, I should be able to play most games, however my tastes conflict a little bit with the common reccomendations recently. Personally, I was more interested in Battlefield 2142 and other Battlefield-type games (massive online games) than Call of Duty 4. Now again, I havnt played these on PC so my opinion here might not count for much, but is Call of Duty 4 (among other games) that much better than Battlefield, that it would be a clear reccomendation? Anyway... I like MULTIPLAYER (Has to have good multiplayer) shooters the most, although I like every genre other than RPG (Single player Rpg that is, MMORPG is fine). Lastly, I should point out this is my first venture into PC gaming, so a well rounded game list would probably be nice (I dont want Battlefield 2142, Battlefield 2, Quake Wars, etc. on the same list, maybe one of them? or not even? just make sure theres variety, even if it is the same genre). Thanks in advance.

WoW(Not a pretty game but fun)

Crysis

Company of Heros(was hella fun)

Age of Conan(First rated M MMORPG that looks pretty sexy its not out yet but it looks oretty AWSOME)
