I'll be starting PC Gaming as soon as i get a graphics card, and I was just wondering what games would you recommend I get?

I'm definitely getting Saints Row 3, I'm a big fan of open-world games!

Try Skyrim, and the new Tomb Raider.

Depends on what you like. TF2 is played by millions DAILY, so yea it's pretty good in regards to how many like it.

This is a 4X game that I would hardly suggest to someone who has never played one... not that it's a bad game, but not friendly to new comers of the genre.

Need a breakdown of what kinda genre's you like or would like... There is so much awesomeness in this world, thats why I have months worth of backlog in my steam library

Saints Row 3 - particularly if you play co-op - will probably keep you occupied for a good while. It's a very fun game.

No particular games to recommend, since I don't know your type of game, but I suggest keeping an eye on www.humblebundle.com and www.humblebundle.com/weekly for some very cheap bundles of games as they sometimes have really good stuff.

I agree... but he is saying that he's basically not really played anything before. I'm sure you'd at least had experiences with other RTS', before getting into SoSE.

How come you think that RTS is easier to get into than TBS? Should it not be the other way around?

While I'm at it... you should check out Kings Bounty series, Might and Magic Clash Heroes and Heroes of Might and Magic 5 & 6.

Even if youre not a serious gamer, you wont be running any games well starting probably from 2010. The 630 is very very weak in performance and, in my eyes, you should've got the GTX650ti or a used GTX560 from last year. The 630 is more or less a multimedia HTPC graphics card and not for gaming at all. Not trying to bust on you but just trying to help you out

In terms of games.. get the standards. Half Life 2, Counter Strike, Battlefield, Civ 5, etc.

EDIT: Look at this comparison between an 8800GT which was unreal back in the day in 2007! http://gpuboss.com/gpus/GeForce-GT-630-vs-GeForce-8800-GT
Its definitely not worth it man. Even though you say you don't game a lot. Should've decided to get something used if you don't game a lot. Like I said, I'm just trying to help!

get Just Cause 2 and GTA 4

as for your videocard, dont get the GT 630.
Look for something used that is much more stronger for the same price.
like an HD5770 or GTS450

If you really want to buy "new"
go for HD6670 DDR5

World of Tanks. Unique strategic game, especially amazing with friends or teammates.
The best most fun games happen at around tier 4 to tier 6

Do I wait until it's cheaper or get it and enjoy it now?
Cities XL is a much better game

That game is made by Ubisuck so you have to deal with some of the worst DRM outside EA Games

Dont know if its better now but Anno 2070 was just as unplayable as Sim City was
