I'm finally moving away from guns. Can anyone reccomend any good sword games, preferably with cool finishing moves and 3rd person. RPG would be sweet.

Ok I've been sticking to FPS's and such forever now. I occasionally went to STALKER and Bioshock, which was a little more on the RPG side. I hated RTS's always. Now I kind of want to try some RPG's. Never tried any before. I really want one that has a good story and really good fighting mechanics like cool kills and such. I heard the Witcher was good, but I don't know. Please, and recomendations welcome!

I'm thinking about getting a gaming keyboard/mouse. I heard the G keys in Logitech's keyboards can perform macros, some kind of complex actions. What are these and how could I use them in online games?

I'll try that thanks. But, should I also get a new CPU heatsink/fan? how do I tell if it's the CPU or the GPU or both?

So I just built my first computer. I got a q6600, gigabyte P35 DS3L mobo, x1950 pro (I know it's old) Stock CPU fan and a case fan built in to my powmax case. I just started using it on games, and I was stricken by the temperatures! My CPU hits 50's and over, my GPU according to ATI Catalyst control is 70-high 80's! I can feel the heat coming out and if I touch my power supply vent in the back I could burn my hands! I don't know if this is related, but when I play Crysis my moniter just says "no signal" in the middle of play and i jiggle the mouse and it doesn't come out of that sleep mode. Please help me, what is the problem? do I need a new heatsink/fan or something?

well i already have the mobo and it's installed. I thought there was a way to copy it, retrieve the key or something because it's still on my C drive.

I just switched motherboards and cpu's and built a new computer. I still have my same old hard drives, bay drives and the such. My question is, I don't think Windows XP is going to work on my new rig because of the new mobo. I have the original backup disk for XP, but it says only for Dell systems. How am I going to get XP on my new rig without buying it again?

what would be most likely DOA? the case, the mobo, or the processor? or even the power supply, but i had that power supply in my old computer and it worked.

I just put together my first computer. I was so happy but when I went to turn it on, nothing happened. I don't know what went wrong. I double checked my CPU, my memory, video card, and the case plug-ins. I think I put the little cables from the case in the right slots for Power switch and so on. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm using a POWMAX case (on newegg), Intel Quad, a-data 2gb ram and Gigabyte P35 DS3L mobo. Please help!!!
