Recommend me some good PC games please. ^.^

Hellooo, building a new comp on Tuesday and gonna download a few games now to play on it...could you please just recommend some games (not bothered what genre and stuff, being quite new would be better though) I got this so far (Upgrading gpu later, what should I upgrade to?):
Phenom II 3.4GHz Quad Core  
Nvidia GeForce 8800GTX
4GB of DDR3 RAM  
So yeah what is an affordable upgrade for the GPU and what good games can I play on it? :) 
Thanks guys. 

I use the gtx 460 1gb and it can play almost anything with full settings. There are some ati choices that are cheap, but I don't use ati products. The HD 6850 or hd 6870.  
 
Maybe you can try crysis and crysis warhead. Maybe starcraft 2.  
 
edit: next post's advice is horrible for videocards, it wouldn't be much better than what you already have only a bit better.

well for the gpu you would have to look at the nvidia 250 series I think or if you don't mind loosing sli go for radeon 65xx series. 
 
as for games mass effect is awesome starcraft is awesome and well a whole lot is awesome just see whatever you like

Crysis

World of Warcraft

I'm assuming you're thinking about PC-exclusives.
 
I enjoyed Starcraft 2 and Civ 5 the most this year; Sins of a Solar Empire was my favourite PC exclusive for 2009.

I'd suggest the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. series, the Witcher, Orange Box, Dragon Age: Origins, or some Bethesda games like Fallout 3 or Oblivion.

Rollercoaster Tycoon. Should run.

" World of Warcraft "

What kind of games do you like?

Counter-Strike.

There aren't very many politically correct games out there. Most simulation games would be so have at them.

Duke Nukem. The first one.

Thanks for suggestions :)

FPS: Bioshock, CoD's
RPG: Dragon Age, Mass Effects, Borderlands, Fallout 3, Oblivion
Strategy: Civ 5, SC2
Indie: Braid
Old: Fallout 1 and 2, Heroes of Might and Magic 3 Complete

You should hold out till the Steam Christmas Sale.  That's when prices are insanely low.

^ ur doing it wrong

Download steam, buy many many games.   
 
Try Left for Dead 1 and 2 if you like fpses, but dislike Military based shooters.   I've been playing those 2 games off and on in 1-2 hour chunks ever since I built my new rig.   

" I Have No Mouth, and I must Scream 
Grim Fandango  
Curse of Monkey Island  
FEAR 
Deus Ex 
Fallout 2
Thief Trilogy (Metal Age, Deadly Shadows, Dark Project) And be sure to download Steam. "

most of the games I can recommend are either really old, or don't have high-end graphics. 
 
Here goes:
 
Fallout 1 and 2
Deus Ex
Anachronox
The Longest Journey 
VVVVVV
World of Goo
Diablo Series
KotoR

Steam sales
Starcraft 2
Neverwinter Nights
Guild Wars
Half-Life 2
Team Fortress 2
Torchlight
Recettear

Fallout games are pretty awesome with mods on pc.  I'd also highly recommend Starcraft 2.

In addition to the rest, Freespace 2, X-Com UFO, Baldur's Gate 1&2

I'm playing through Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II right now and that game is pretty cool.  It's a good choice if you can't decide whether you want to play an RTS or an action RPG.

The Witcher. << Cannot stress this one enough.
Team Fortress 2.
Puzzle Agent.

• Theme Hospital

Mount and Blade Warband, Napoleon Total War, Super Meat Boy. =] 

Some really good PC games are Dragon Age: Origins, Fallout: New Vegas, Team Fortress 2, Mass Effect 1 & 2, Medieval: Total War, The Witcher Enhanced Edition, and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.

for games any thing made by valve

• The Dawn of War series is some of the best RTS to get made since EA killed Command and Conquer. I'm not as big a fan of Dawn of War 2, but others swear by it.
• Despite what I just said, pick up Red Alert 3 if it goes on sale. It's not as good as RA 2, but it's a fun game in it's own right and would probably be much more enjoyable without the baggage of it's former games to compare it to. If you like bat shit crazy mixed with campy movies you will love it.
  
• If you want RPG's and don't mind last gen graphics pick up Knights of The Old Republic and Jade Empire.
  
• Dragon Age. Even if it doesn't go on sale get it. The Ultimate edition specifically. It's one of, IMHO the best, RPGs made in decades.
• Evil Genius. It's one of the greatest games no one has heard of.
  

Dwarf Fortress.

The Baldurs Gate series
The Quest for Glory series
Dwarf fortress
minecraft
wing commander series
civilisation 4
sim city
transport tycoon...etc

If you haven't played Max Payne 1 'n' 2, DO SO. 
 
The Age of Empires games are fun - the 1 and 2 Complete Box is going for less than 10 bucks on Amazon. 
 
This is completely random, but "Hype: The Time Quest". Try it out - you won't regret it. 
 
Also, The Pink Panther: Hocus Pocus Pink was an excellent point-and-clicker.

Damn so many suuggestions...anyway this is my last time on giant bomb from this computer. Taking him apart now and building new one tomorrow 
RIP 
BYYEEE  THANKS :)

GTX460 is one of the best price to performance ratio cards on the market and it's a good entry level DX11 GPU. I upgraded from my 8800GTX to a GTX460 about 6 months ago, and by upgrade i mean my 8800GTX died.

The Witcher (Enhanced Edition). BAM! Good game.

Damn the fans are loud on this, gonna try and adjust them somehow...I think it's the processor fan though >.> 
anyway my first ever build :) took 2 hours the first time, then re did it and tidied the cables up! 
thanks for comments will look into the games :)

Download Steam and just take a look at the offers. You'll find something eventually.

The cables are pretty, for me Grim fandango is a must have pc title.

PLANESCAPE TORMENT
