Here's some from Ridge Racer...





Oh my. That CD Key place calls you to give you the key?

LOL no!

It is a Pin to sign up, basically it is like a those jumbled letter things that make sure you are a real person. I had it texted to me. The pin is only put in once, after you do it the first time it is never needed to be done again.

The key is emailed to you.

The first pic is the email you get confirmation of order. The second is when they email you the key

This looks like a real winner, 2 hours left as a daily deal as well

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

That 560 is a much improved card over the 635M or the 555M. It can be overclocked fairly easily to reach 570M levels. If that's the same price as the other one, go for it.

I can't find the Hard drive specs, but overall, still a good deal in comparison to the others. I've been in contact w/ some UK sellers, and they're a bit more pricey than the US counterparts/resellers.

The 560 is a respectable card, especially for that screen resolution. I'd much prefer a 1080p screen, but if you can handle it, go for it. The screens can also be had for around $100 if you can install it yourself if you don't like the current screen.

Thanks, I went for it in the end. Thanks for the tip earlier about graphics card. I am much happier going forward with this one and I didn't break my budget because of the sale that was on.

Now the wait begins!

Oh alright. That seemed shady as all hell so I just left. Still a tradtional captcha would've been much better.

I pre-ordered as well. Thinking about getting Battlefield finally but I'll hold off. Sometimes EA has better deals with Battlefield.

That's the thing I really like about PC Gaming. Pricing is still so competitive. Console gaming...you may get 5-10 dollars off any specific game. PC Gaming...there are so many places that want you to be their customer, you can normally get great pricing.

One of the main reasons why I have added PC gaming back in my life, the pricing of games was a big selling point for me. These Steam, GOG, Amazon sales are just insane. Plus the pretty visuals are an added bonus.

So I'm buying a new computer and was wondering of I get some opinions here. it's a dell xps 8300 I'll save the details and give the basics here.

Only difference is there's a model with the i7-2600 and the i5-2320 not sure which one to choose but besides that the two are the same besides a price difference

8gb ram
And radeon 6870
1tb hard drive 7200 rpm

There's a model also with a nividia GeForce gtx560ti with a 1.25 memory but it's about $350 more and frankly is stretching price range I'm willing to spend

Not sure if I'm gonna buy Monitor with or buy later from bjs/Costco/SAMs clubs


New York Yankees
Chicago Bears
Chicago Bulls

Where are you at with this? I would just buy the parts from newegg (or somewhere like that) and build your own. It isn't that hard (I haven't done it yet, but it looks very, very easy). What's your price range.

You can get alot better gaming computer for less money. If this is just for gaming I would stay away from the 2600 and get the 2550k sandy bridge or i5 3570k ivy bridge. The hyperthreading of the 2600 does nothing for gaming.

If you go this route, you might beable to get a Nvidia gtx 680 for the same (or even less) price, which would be a better graphics card.

In short, do some research before you order anything.

Re: OS Steam and Computer Gaming Thread

Just wanted to let everyone be aware, that I will soon have a 7970M in my laptop as my graphics card This card has been obliterating everything thrown at it. Performs better than a desktop 570 at stock speeds.
