I'd reccomend aganist your current build.

The anthlon x4 620 is great but it has no large cache it only sets 512kb per core of cache, and depending on the game that can seriously kill your fps potential. A phenom ii x3 710 720 for the same ish price is more stable performance across all games. And rts games is one of those that are more likely to require a larger cache as it does more calculations per a fame then a normal game would.

I'd also suggest getting a corsair 650TX over the 520HX save you money and the 520 is not single rail.

I'd also suggest getting the 5770 it performs right now around the same as a 4870 but given time the drivers will improve and so will the 5770, it also has a whole list of features that the 4870 doesn't have.

Also why are you buying a WD blue 640go drive that is a corporate drive the 640 black is cheap and performs a ways better.

Green= eco friendly drives low power
blue = corporate which is still low power but not as low
black = performance

Yep, definitely put more into the PSU since that's unlikely to change and a stable PSU = stable system overall.
Don't be cheap, get at least 500W.

Go WD Black or Velociraptor or just get a seagate 7200.12. What is the point of getting the blue?

Seriously if you are thinking of cutting corners due to cost, let me tell ya it's not worth it.

for 16:10 screens on a decent budget, samsung 2443BW PLUS is the best one out there.
I think it's about 50 euros more tho. It is a fantastic screen.

...strange. I don't think anyone would say those games are terrible, even if they didn't like them a lot. It's kind of like someone saying "Citizen Kane" is terrible; you might not like it but even haters can't really deny the games were pretty good. I like all the games you like that you listed and I quite enjoyed those 2 games.
You are crushing me like a cheese sandwich

Well i might have overeacted a bit. They are not absolutely terrible but they are still not great.

Basicly:

Bioshock:
- pros:
Gfx and design, universe is kinda original too.

cons:
Linear ( lol @ follow arrows LOL ). The small levels were clearly designed for console trash.
That makes a cool bench for sure. A great game ? No.
Also i really miss some demembration animations. It's PEGI18 ffs ... ( ok this one was really not important but i felt so bored that i had to try some post mortem experimentations )


Oblivion:
pros: uhhh everything if it wasn't made in a bad way

cons: - Well huge universe but it is empty.
- All the building, dungeons etc look the same.
- All the characters look the same and have 0 charisma -> hard to have motivation for quests
- Dialogs are a joke
- Movements are really ankward.
edit:
- Vilains level scaling
- Can travel everywhere on the map on start.

Jesus i'm still waiting for game who will put Dx to shame... Instead of jerking over the shaders and the AAx8 people working in the game industry should work on good IA algorithms ( yea those in Dx sucked too lol ) and good scenarios/dialogs.

In ten fucking years they have not been able to produce an FPS/RPG hybrid better...

Jesus that's like if broodwar was still the best RTS .. oh wait ....
lol
Fuck overrated new games.
/rant

( I would give a 7/10 to Bioshock max and a 6/10 to Oblivion ).

edit: Also SS2 is way scarier than bioshock :O
