    http://postimage.org/image/90foatvcb/full/ + GTX 680 + 40' HDTV + X-Fi Titanium (with Dolby Digital Live! 5.1 support) + Turtle Beach Ear Force x41 5.1 wireless headphones!

    Witcher 2 in its full glory for sure (I f*cking hate Xbox 360 version that I bought!)

    What else?

    I think Battlefield 3 would be an obvious choice. Not sure what you've played recently and what you haven't/what kinds of games you usually play, what your current rig specs are, etc... Serious Sam 3 BFE, Hard Reset, RAGE, Diablo 3 (when it's out, 15th), Starcraft 2, Dawn of War 2 (+Chaos and Retribution).

    I play PS3 and Xbox 360. PS3 BF3 was really nice. I own A64 3000+ with Radeon 9500, 2Gb RAM, Windows SP3 and it barely run Vampire: Bloodlines... I think CS:S can run, Planescape: Torment can run, BG2 can run...

    Pretty old rig then. If you think BF3 was nice on PS3, you're in for a very nice surprise if you get it running on your new rig with a GTX 680 and join a 64 player server.

    Arkham City is pretty hungry with some of the PC-specific features (read: bad port). I've been trying to run it in Surround on my 680, and getting dips in DX9 mode with full PhysX. I tried sticking my 9800GT back in to handle the PhysX, and then I'd get framerates in the teens while my 680 downclocks to half speed and only maxes out at 50%, waiting on the 9800 to finish doing its bit. DX11 performance is even more shameful.

    So, you buy a nice gaming rig but can't afford a mechanical keyboard?

    Battlefield 3 is quite pretty if maxed out and Metro 2033 looks in DX11 nice as well.
    I don't run everything maxed because I like my 120fps using my 120Hz monitor. :)
