I would consider upping the CPU to the i5 4670k. That'll give you the option to overclock in the future (though you'll probably need to get a CPU cooler when you do so). And like others have said, the GPU is decent, but might not last the next few years (then again, nothing is truly "future-proof").

Check out reddit.com/r/buildapc; the folks over there are pretty knowledgable.

I'll join! Steam ID is Alphawolfy

I wish I could, but I've got other stuff to do :P

Jun. Emile is a close second, but I like Jun better since he seems more like a "badass sensei".  Jorge is pretty cool too :D
A lot of people seem to like Kat, but somehow every mission where I was partnered with her she'd be super annoying. For example, she seemed to always give me an order AFTER I died. 
eg. BOOM! Taken out by Wraith/Revenant/Covenant dude on Legendary. Kat: "Six! Take out that insert whatever just killed me!"

1. Halo Reach - been a long time Halo fan; the only gripe I had with Reach is that it's campaign felt a bit too hard. Everything else, awesome.
2. Battlefield Bad Company 2 - While the single-player was definitely not as good as the first, the multiplayer lasted me quite a long time.
3. Red Dead Redemption - Was totally engrossed by the single-player experience, but I felt that there could have been more things to do in multiplayer.
 
Of course, those are the only 2010 video game releases I've bought... :P

I almost have the opposite problem. I rarely ever buy games at launch and as a result miss out on some multiplayer experiences because the community has already died down. Still, I'd say it's a good thing because I save money in the long run. 
Recently I preordered Halo Reach so I might be changing a bit :P

I think they're great when they give you a creative goal that you might not attempt to do without that achievement ("Dastardly" in RDR...). I don't like when it's "kill x amount of enemies" or something like that, especially in multiplayer because it encourages boosting.

Sometimes. If it's my first playthrough in a single-player mode then no, I won't chat. But if it's the second time around I will chat with my friends.

I'd say Bioware, for their storytelling. I did really like Fallout 3 though.

Stuck between Red Dead Redemption and BFBC2. Will probably go with RDR though because I didn't really like BFBC2's single-player.
Soon Reach will be out though...
