    Thats a handy guide to see whats good.
    I've a load of top end pc bits if anyone is building/upgrading their own computer. I'll repost later with some info.

    Honestly? I use mine for editing gopro videos and converting movie formats to ones that my TV can play. I play games on the PS3, mainly GTA5 online.

    Can't get to my PC at the moment as it has a load of junk in front of it due to an ongoing house refurb :(

    Playing Batman Arkham Asylum at the moment after it's been sitting unplayed in my Steam account for ages. What a game! Loving it :)

    I've build about 20 custom PCs in total for friends and family members. Its a small hobby I have apart from biking :)

    Am in the middle of building my own custom watercooled rig. So far I have the new Intel Haswell i7 4770K, combined with a MSI Gaming Mobo and some Corsair Vengeance Pro RAM. Next phase in plan is to pick a decent case, and PSU.

    Sweet. I have Steam. Old School Battlefield 2 and ARMA are immense games. Can't remember my steam name. I will add you. I think its RamJam, not sure.

    I haven't got a gfx card yet, need to get the case sorted first and then pick a card that fits. GTX770Ti looks sweet though.

    I think 'Tetris' and 'Jimmy Connors Tennis King!' are the only games available for the iMac, Si...
