I recently upgraded my rig to get the most out of this years upcoming great PC titles. The ones I'm most looking forward to are Civilization 5: Gods & Kings expansion and of course Diablo III (linking to my fansites of choice on both). Having skipped Vista, I went straight to a 64bit Windows7 with 8gb ram, Intel i5-2400 quadcore and GeForce 560GTX. This was back in december, mind, so I expect processorwise you can probably already find better value in some other model - but just wanted to share.
Why the post now if I already upgraded in december then? Well, it was finally time to say goodbye to crunchy sounds coming from all the wrong places. Having started out with a 120gb OCZ Vertex 3 Max IOPS solid-state drive for bootup and whatever else I could fit on it, I really came to enjoy the silent, low-power and blazing fast operation that an SSD provides.
Today I installed a 256gb Samsung 830 series on the side and finally yanked the cord out of the old buzzsaw that was my I-couldn't-tell-you-how-many-years-old hard drive. Consider making the switch - I'm liking it.
As a closing remark - and I assure you they don't pay me to do this - if you're wondering who to trust when doing research for your PC buying needs, I can happily recommend the articles over at Tom's Hardware.

Just in time for 2011, please find "Purple" in the music downloads or help yourself to a direct link. RNS version is available.
Happy new year!

This is so extremely cool - the first two parts of Monkey Island have been reimagined in contemporary music, voice acting and art. I don't know why I only heard of this now because the games were released in 2009 and 2010 already, but better late than never (and besides, the bundle was really cheap on Steam by now).
Monkey Island 2: Special Edition is a game for the ages and you will do well to play it. I hate Steam, but I'm not sure if you can get this anywhere else...
