Just wanted to say a big thank you to all at PC Specialist and the forums for advice and great service. PC arrived yesterday, looks fantastic and performance amazing so far. Without a doubt the best pc I have owned.

I have been playing half-life 2 and installed steam, loaded up my game and ... wow! Compared to my old pc it blows me away, and this on a game of fair vintage.

Will post some pics hopefully shortly..

I am planning on a 2nd GPU before I try to run pong or anything similar.

I bought the pc for business mainly as I have a 360 for gaming with a nice big screen and surround sound - would take a lot to beat that unfortunately. Considering I've played probably all of the top rated xbox360 games of the past 5 years are there any pc games people would recommend? I bought crysis and civilisation 4 for £5 each, and hl2 is keeping me going but I basically am stuck in 2006 when it comes to pc gaming.
