I'm in the $0 club b/c that's the club my current bank account put me in.  I suspect that'll change on Wednesday when payday hits and I pay a visit to the FLGS.

Front Office Football 8, only $3 off, but I guess that counts?

Still have 4 of my 6 wishlist items on sale, so I may not be done.

You realize I've got abut 6-8 Kickstarters all due in within the next few weeks, plus the review copies I get, right?  And we ain't even talking about the Origins loot I'm still working thru :)

Rocket League, $11 and some change
Motorsport Manager, $26
Transport Fever, $31

I am looking at either Parkitect, or shooting the wad on Planet Coaster. Neither are on sale..so I may just wait. These three games above are all just excellent, and will take a fair amount of time. Two hours per dollar spent..them's my new rule!

The only game I have purchased so far has been Anno 2070 Complete Edition for 75% off, or $7.50 U.S.

I tried to buy Dominions 4 while it was on sale for $7 but there was a glitch somewhere and it prevented me from buying the game until the price went back up. >:(
Regardless of how good a PC game may be it will always have its detractors and no matter how bad a PC game may be it will always have its fans.

Oriental Empires for $20.09. 

That might be it for the season.  Anything else I'm tempted to get is either not on sale (or the "sale" price is still too high for me), or isn't even available for sale yet in any case.

$250 for a 43" 4K TV to act as my monitor, picked up today.
$1600 for a new PC that shows up Wed.... first new PC in 7 years.

Oh... you meant games.... none yet...  :D

Specs! We need to drool over the specs!

Sorry for the late reply.
Nothing really special for the price:

Intel i7-6700, 16 GB ram, 256GB SSD, 2TB HD 7200rpm, NVidia GeForce GTX980.

Only weak part is it's power supply which is only 500W... might steal my fairly new 700W supply from my current machine.
GTX980 is OK but will upgrade that in the spring.

43" TV is great and it's HUGE! had to build an extension for my desk to move it back an additional 10". Still using my old machine with it which has a GTX 550Ti so can't try higher resolutions than 1920x1080 yet.

I would definitely bung in the 700W PSU - that 980GTX pushing all those pixels around a 43" monitor...
