thanks, recomendation for a mobo?  I was going for those particular processors because of the combo deals totaling around 300.

I want to spend around $300 Canadian for a cpu/mobo combo. The best deals I found were on ncix and memoryexpress for around my price range. Will these processors hold up for a few years? Can the give near 30 fps in guild wars 2 wvw? Right now I have an overclocked gtx 460 that I don't plan on upgrading just yet, but plan on it maybe when the 800 or 900 series come out.

I didnt vote because Im getting both.  TLOU ill jst play on my couch like an interactive movie.  Compony of heroes 2 ill play countless hours with friends.

seems to be related to speed step, which doesnt fully disable in the bios.  I get spikes to 1000 in latency mon, but when I run intel burn test the latency stays around 100 or lower.  It points to my wifi driver, or specificaly ndis.sys as the cause of the spikes... but they only happen when the cpu speeds fluctuate.  Any ideas?  The laptop is an m15x running windows 8, same issues in windows 7.

I noticed it, didnt know what it was at the time but playing n64 made me dizzy.

these specs dont mean a whole lot to me at this point, there arent any benchmarks or anything I can go by to judge the spces. I find it strange so many here think they know what this means...

The entire Grand Theft Auto series. I have fun for about 20 minutes going on a murder spree, but the missions and multiplayer (GTA:IV) were so boring I wanted to die.

Halo series. Something overly generic and plain about it, couldn't understand why people go so hard on it.

Late CoD series. Not much to say other than they've beaten a dead horse that outsells itself every year somehow.

Diablo II and III. Played them for a little while. Wanted to love them like everyone else did. Got bored after a short time.

Skyrim. I think I spent more time modding this game than playing it. Always felt like there was something missing, couldn't keep me interested. Very impressive game but not enough essence there to keep me into it.

Crysis. Graphically - I get it. Gameplay wise? Meh for me.

That's all I can think of for now. I'm not saying these were poorly produced or were "bad" games, but they just felt "meh" to me. Especially Halo. Flame me

Some of my favorite games of all time are Final Fantasy X, Demon's Souls and Dark Souls (waiting for PC version to start up again). Lately I've been playing Dota2 I find it's more mature than it's counterparts and I like the $ model better as well. I grew up playing SNES, and still love playing Super Mario and Donkey Kong 1-3 from time to time. Waiting for Guild Wars 2, loved the beta weekends and the direction the game is going. I'm also an ex-WoW player of 6 or 7 years - something I'm not proud of but I grew out of it as did most of my friends. Yeah, I've become a bit of a PC / gaming elitist over the years:oops: I'm just picky and particular. I loved Oblivion when it first came out on the 360 (prior to my 3 times red-ring) and I got all of the achievements.

But while I'm here - another well recieved game I remembered is Red Dead Redemption. I wanted to like it so bad, but the more I played it the more it felt like GTA (same engine if I'm not mistaken?) with a western skin. The voice acting, story, and span of the world were impressive and beautiful, but gameplay wise it was boring.

Stalker --> bad graphics, countless bugs and commodore 64 controls and mechanics.

Assassin's creed Brotherhood --> just couldn´t get into it, it seemed ok but never felt it was anything but a DLC for 2.

Diablo 3 -> insanely bad graphics, bad controls and i regret spending money on buying it.

Battlefield 3 -> First mission was so poor that it made me uninstall the game instantly.

Call of duty series -> played one/played them all.

Witcher 2 -> decent game just never got my interest.

Max Payne 3 -> Rockstar tried and failed, badly done and unless your a huuge fan, game is not worth it.

And alot of other games.

Jacanuk

alot of multiplat games... with their amazing cinematic c movie gameplay... *rolls eyes*

im buying it again to start a new build, didnt have much magic the first time around.
