Prepping for new PC

undercovergeek · January 10, 2013, 06:17:39 PM

Whilst vibrating like an excited monkey about the new incoming PC, the process is not without its pains in the ass - I know im OK with steam games, but does anyone know if there are unlimited downloads associated with Gamersgate, i have Arma II, OA, and Brit Forces from them

Thanks for any advice

Yes GG has unlimited downloads.

Gamersgate unlimited for the rest of your life as far as I know.
Every new hard drive I have to go back and get 'em.
They have always been no more than a click away.

I feel so dirty now.

Longdan · January 10, 2013, 07:04:07 PM

I love you to but in a very Manly, Comradely sort of way.
Not the dirty way he was thinking about.

Middle of Feb when cheque comes in:-

Cooler Master Elite 430 Black ATX Case
Intel Core i5 3570K Processor overclocked to 4.5GHz
Akasa Nero 3 CPU Cooler
Asus P8Z77-V LX Motherboard
GeForce GTX 660 2GB Graphics Card
8GB PC3-10666 DDR3 Memory

not going to set the world on fire but it will do - the screenshots of Shogun 2 that come with the ad made me weep with joy

Nice one mate. At least you'll be able to give the hamster a rest from his little wheel!

Thanks for any advice

What kind of operating system are you planning on getting? Gabe Newell thinks Windows 8 Is A 'Catastrophe'

eyebiter · January 11, 2013, 04:09:27 PM

SSD or traditional hard drive?

undercovergeek · January 11, 2013, 05:33:04 PM

GB - I'm happy with good old 7 - the store sells it with 7, 8 is an upgrade option

EB - traditional HDD

I would be a lot happier with Win8 if the CHRISTLESS START MENU could somehow default back to the XP start menu system.

("Is that true?" "Yes sir, it's true: this Start menu has no Christ. ...Well that's what I heard!")

Meanwhile, back to the question of Gamersgate: I'm glad to hear that, as I haven't tried to redownload my collection onto my own new computer yet. Phew...
