I just picked up warhead today, it will be waiting for the rig to arrive.

Currently playing COD:MW and Halo ODST atm both are pretty good, though I think MW is better.

awesome .. i hope you'll enjoy your pc !! you can lower the cpu vcore a bit though .. my oc is 3.4 ghz at 1.31v with turbo off (default was at 1.35v for 3.8 ghz). you could just leave it as is, but lower voltage = less heat and it wouldn't hurt to.

i'm stuck between mw and dragon age. i like the multiplayer in mw and dragon age has a huge replayability w/o online. i may get both, but dragon age 1st .. my bro-in-law may come here for Christmas and he loves rpg/mmo genres.
 
mw2 has had many bad reviews regarding its online, so no mw2 for me. halo was really overrated to me. the graphics look cartoonish. have fun with warhead .. i'm logging off to play crysis >,<

Sweet! Another email.

Congratulations, your package has been shipped!

COD:MW2 and Halo are reserved for solo play or when me friends or bro's are over I don't play them online. So we have a blast with it.

Dragon Age is a great game if you like rpg's Ive enjoyed playing it, love the blood splatter and different kill combos the characters do.
