Some Binatone device, I think it had a set of paddles and 3 or 5 games including a tennis/Pong style game.

I answered C as I think there are some people that can't seem to find the right balance, so there are the ones who need to get a certain result that technology would make easier for them but they prefer to do it the low-tech way, and then there are those that could do it the low-tech way but would rather use a high tech solution. You don't need to use a PC to write a short shopping list for instance but writing a letter to your bank manager might be easier on a PC.
 
As for the Pope using Twitter, I very much doubt the Pope actually tweets or even reads the responses, I think it is probably his PR/marketing department that does all that for him.

I'll add another vote for upgrading to a GTX560 plus spending a little more on the PSU to get a 750w or bigger means you are ready to add another GTX560 sometime in the future, when or if you feel the need for it. Also Subject2Change talked about getting ram as 2 sticks not 4, having 4 sticks of ram reduces your overclocking potential, it might look better but 2 sticks will perform better.

My name in game is Metalideth , same steam name as well. God damn, this game looks so much better on PC.

I just said all that stuff about how I don't really play for achievements and then looked at Steam where getting specific achievements wins entries into Steam's Summer Camp Grand Prize Giveaway. I feel dirty now! lol.

I have all of my game achievements linked to the site and was surprised that I actually had managed 2 A grade achievements, for test drive unlimited 2 and Half life 2. I have some games where I haven't even achieved enough to get graded. On GFWL/Xbox Live I have managed to gain 60 achievements and scored 720 points and on Steam I have earned 265 achievements. I seem to spend most of my time playing Battlefield Bad Company 2, which has in game achievements that don't seem to get recognised anywhere else and with other games, I've started playing them and either decided to get back to them later or a new release has come out and I've decided to get and play that instead.
 
I might just go back to playing some gfwl games to see if I can get my score over 1000, when I can be bothered, but as you can see achievements aren't really my thing, at least not at the moment, though I did go after getting the Half Life 2 achivements.

I didn't realise that Crysis had a benchmark tool, when I read this here I had a hunt through the Crysis directories in my Steamapps folder and found it in Bin32, Metro 2033 was another where I had to search for it in the same way.
 
Crysis 2 had a batchfile called Benchmark created in its Bin32 folder but this was empty, so I'll have to have a look at how to get this to work at some point, it might need a download of some sort first.

Find someone you know, someone that trusts you, get them to pay for you on their card or through their paypal account (paypal might be better as you need their password to spend on it when they are not around and they get email notifications when you try and do this, not that you would! right?) and then pay them back immediately.
 
@project343: Nearest might be a few thousand miiles away, he's in Argentina.
 
@UnrealDP: Does it have to be a Valve game? Won't any game that requires Steam activation do the same thing? Ubisoft games such as Prince of Persia, Splinter Cell games and Assassin's Creed games are all activated on Steam, so is Alien Vs Predator to name a few.

Yet another update! When will it stop?
 
I was planning to change over to an i7 based rig, however certain things conspired against that and I somehow ended up with a new AMD motherboard (don't ask how!) as an exchange for the 1 I already had, also changed my case and added some lights:
