            Do you remember the fish-man game? I was never sure whether I really enjoyed that.

            Speaking of DreamCast i was addicted to Soul Caliber for the longest time.

              PS2 was the best console, such a great library spanning so many genres.

              I remember when the Gran Tourismo 2 came out.....i lost weeks of my life to that game ha

                @Hubtech Such a wonderful game. 3 was a disappointment, but 4 was a true successor. Actually looking at building a custom GT4 themed PS2 for myself, probably out of Walnut wood with a nice dark stain.

                    I had to Wiki that... He was the NARRATOR. That makes it 1000x better.

                            I'm running an AMD Athlon 64x2 with 4GB of RAM, nVidia 560TI, and Kingston SSD. It isn't much, but plays FFXIV on high settings with no issues.

                              Wow. That's even below my system. Surprised that it does that well.

                              You really don't need too much these days.

                                now that's funny. My friend who upgrade his machine last year to a 8 core AMD setup is already wanting to upgrade again. This time the current i7 with 16 Gig RAM, he might look for a faster SSD too.

                                  I have spent way too much on my gaming rig..

                                  Core
                                  Obsidian 800D Corsair Case
                                  ASUS Maximus V FORMULA LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Extended ATX Intel Motherboard
                                  Intel Core i7-3770K Ivy Bridge 3.5GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics ...
                                  Mushkin Enhanced Blackline 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model 997050
                                  EVGA SuperClocked 03G-P4-2783-KR GeForce GTX 780 3GB 384-bit GDDR5

                                  Cooling
                                  CORSAIR Hydro Series H80 (CWCH80) High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler

                                  Inputs/Display
                                  Hanns-G HL272HPB Black 27" 2ms LED Monitor (x3)
                                  Razer Naga
                                  Razer Blackwidow 2013 Ultimate Mechanical Keyboard

                                  Storage
                                  60GB SSD for OS, 250GB SSD for Games, 2TB for Misc.

                                  I started with budget parts and now pre-ordered some of my components. These are my preferences based off of that.

                                  Corsair for Cases, RAM, Coolants
                                  EVGA for Mobos, GPUs
                                  Mushkin or g.Skill for RAM
                                  Intel for CPU (some great AMD's out there though)

                                  Had great luck with EVGA and Corsair's customer service and RMA processes.

                                    EVGA has some of the best lifespan for their GPU's, so far as I've seen. Corsair Cases, Keyboards, and Cooling Solutions are the best. AMD actually has their own series of RAM products now, ranging anywhere from the slower 1300 modules wih no shielding all the way up to the mighty 3000 range with 100% purity all Aluminum heat shields, and I'm quite impressed with it, it preforms quite well. Asus or MSI for motherboards, and as CPU's are far above and beyond what is needed from them, anything made within the past 3 years over a dual core should be fine. RaidMax, ThermalTake, and InWin also have some great chassis solutions. And that's a sweet card you got there, @seth-cooper

                                      Thanks @mike-ralston but when my PS4 started out performing my PC I decided it was time to upgrade my SLI GTX 460's.

                                        Wow. My computer cost me $375 off-the-shelf (Asus Essentio) and about the same for the video card and power supply. That was in 2011. The SSD was less than $100 late last year.

                                          Haven't played in years, but my favorite racing game was Pro Race Driver, I had it for PC and PS2. Loved Need for Speed Most Wanted v1.

                                            @alexntg You're sure you've got that right? The video card itself he has there is worth significantly more than that.
