29 here. Primary PC gamer since I got a intel 286 back in the day.

Own a xbox360, but always get the PC version when I have the option.

Halo 3 will be fun, but I am sick of getting the same games over and over gussied up with "Amazing new gameplay" which amounts to a new gun, or enhanced graphics which amounts to higher res textures.

I just watched the new trailer for crysis at crysis-online.com, and like.. wow.

My vote is for crysis. You have to admire a developer that makes a game that is so technically awesome that less than 50% of the PC gaming crowd can play the game, and they completely ignore older console tech. Guess I need to save some cash this fall for a new video card.

Yeah!  I played Halo on the xbox, but I didn't love the game until I played it on the PC.

Turning up the resolution makes it much sharper and the game still looks good, even after all these years.  Also, the mouse + keyboard allows you to crank up the difficulty.  

I don't know about online play though.  My guess would be that not many people are online.  Seriously though, for multiplayer pick up battlefield.

C & C 3 for me.  I have Supreme Commander, STALKER, and Rainbow Six still sitting in the foil.

As a matter of fact, I seem to enjoy buying games more than playign them?

 Honestly, no.  However, if you want to overclock and you want to make no compromises for another $50, then get the 680i.  It's what I use on my gaming PC at home and it works great.  Native support under vista.  

p.s. It comes with onboard 7.1 audio.  I couldn't find that anywhere on the box when I bought it, but it does in fact come with.  You do need to install drivers manually for the audio to function.

Hope this helps.

I installed vista x64 the other day.  Works great for C&C 3, but slideshow performance on S.T.A.L.K.E.R. .

All my drivers appear to working fine, and I would not discourage someone from installing 64 bit vista over 32 bit. 

The only 64 bit problem I have noticed is that some older TV tuner cards of mine didn't have supported drivers in x64 and were supported by the x86 version of Vista.

I installed Vista 64 bit, and STALKER ran horribly.  I am talking slideshow bad, until I turned off HDR lighting.  THen I ran Stalker on XP (I have a dual boot setup) and it ran flawlessly at 1080p with maxed out effects.

So, yes, vista can mess up some games.
