Maybe check out the early Ultima games.....

sorry I cant be more helpfull.

Falcon 4.0
This was about as complex as a fighter simulator as you could get, the manual was massive and the game is cheaply picked up. If you learn this game front to back, you can fly a real F16.....think im kidding?

Supreme commander isnt a bad choice if you want a complex rts.

Sins of a solar empire is fairly complex but lacks a story mode :(

Jagged alliance was alot of fun as well, was mentioned above.

I have this over whelming desire to see a conversion of assassins creed into a new thief game.....

was just wondering if anyone else thought this would be cool?

And yes I know this topic is a pointless waste of time yadda yadda.....

if you have money to burn than y all means take the above posters advice :P

for games a dual core will do fine, games will not gain anything from a quad core.

I probably wouldnt bother with going sli if u get an 8800, new generation will be available within the next six months at a guess and the 88's run all available games just fine :)

ram....can never have to much lol.

it all comes down to your budget :)

Mechwarrior.....singleplayer....mmofps....rpg...hell ill take anything. MW2 was so wicked and ive been hanging for another MW game (on the pc) for some time now....
