I'm just wondering how long this setup would last me playing games on max settings before I would need an upgrade? Games I plan to play are Battlefield 3, Crysis 2, Elder Scrolls Skyrim, Deus Ex Human Revolution, and Mass Effect 3 if that gives you an idea of what I need and use?How long would a Sandy Bridge 2600K with a single Radeon 6970 last me gaming before I would need an upgrade?
That's a very new CPU. You'll need to upgrade probably in 4 years. Dual Cores that came about 4-5 years ago are still ok to have now so I don't see why a CPU now is ok to have 4 years from now. Your graphics card will become outdated slighty faster though. It'll be outdated within 2 years. A 4870x2 was the best AMD card 2 years ago. It is not able to play Crysis at maxed settings at high resolutions and has the inability to play games in DX11.
If you don't mind playing games in low-medium settings, your graphics card will last 4-5 years before you need to upgrade. Right now the 6970 is capable of playing anything at maxed settings with the exception of Metro 2033. It'll be good for Battlefield 3 and Crysis 2 as well.
That set up will no doubt last you awhile unlike what the others have said.
While it is true that games do not fully utilize all the cpu cores, thats changing fast. Bad Company 2 has support for 2 to 8 processor threads, Battlefield 3 will no doubt have that as well. The 2600k also is really great on overclocking, reaching up to 4.5Ghz with ease on air.
That rig will last you awhile, the gpu may need replacing in time, but that CPU is near the top of benchmark charts, and the graphics card would be fully utilized instead of being bottlenecked.
I would say go for it, unless your ok with waiting for 2011 sockets (which will probably be a lot more expensive.) Although I wouldn't really wait for bulldozer, AMD's only cpu that is in the top charts of cpu performance is their server opteron, which even is still crushed by Intel's other cpus.
So long answer short, it will indeed last you awhile, it might help to get a P67 motherboard that supports multiple graphics cards though, so your games play really well.How long would a Sandy Bridge 2600K with a single Radeon 6970 last me gaming before I would need an upgrade?
Well, based on Moore's law, 6 months before it's outdated. But based on those games, you'll be able to play em near max forever since those games already exists. If your referring to future games of that caliber, probably a couple of years, games change too fast to stay at the top performance. Personally, Nvidia is far superior. I'd recommend the new GTX 560 or 580. and no need to get the 2600k. Slower game performance than the 2500k. Even though it's "better", it's not utilizing all 8 threads since most games don't even use more than 1 or 2 cores. The 2500k gets higher frame rates and all around better performance than 2600K, plus its cheaper. Unless your gonna be using the CPU for processing things that require 8 threads, its useless.
July 26th, 2012. Then you will need a upgrade.
I'm kidding. Honestly sooner then you think. The games you named are high demanding games.
Your probably looking at a year in a half. Then you will probably have to move your settings from very high to just high.
But by that time. The HD 7 Series should be out. The HD 6 series should have a price drop. And you should be able to pick up another 6970 for about $200. Then you should be good for another year in a half.
Obviously I am pulling these numbers out of my ***. I am just estimating.How long would a Sandy Bridge 2600K with a single Radeon 6970 last me gaming before I would need an upgrade?
For most gamers the equipment becomes out dated long before you really need to upgrade! In about 6 months or so the new 2011 socket will be out with the new intel CPU that promises 30-50% better than the 1155 Sandy Bridge, Then too. AMD will roll out its new Bulldozer with the AM3+ socket, It too promises great results. then there is the Promise of the PCIe 3.0 x16 slot with 8GT/s as apposed to the present 5GT/s. AMD has got there series 7000 video cards in the works and Nvidia is suppose to have there series 600 cards out soon. They all PROMISE a lot but independent benchmarks tell the score Just wait till the "smoke clears" and pay little attention to the manufactures Hype...Of course they say its wonderful..they are trying to sell it!!

Which 2 games should i buy?
I know its hard to give an answer when all the games are different but im unsure which 2 i should get and was hoping for an answer
Dead Island
Resistance 3
Dirt 3
Deus Ex
Driver San Francisco
Shadows of the Damned
Top Spin 4
Crysis 2 (people still play this online?)
Answers are appreciated thanksWhich 2 games should i buy?
Those games are all sh.it you should buy gears of war 3 and the other call of duty game.
wow, in all truth im behind on the 360 games...but i beat crysis 2, and it was really fun...i definetly wouldnt say it was online friendly, and i wouldnt play it through a second time...but if youve played the other games (i played them over and over and over and then on a harder difficulty till i was bored to death...), then you might wanna try it for the experience (definetly the good graphics that everyone was hyped about)Which 2 games should i buy?
Deus Ex: Human Revolution is extreme! The system is very easy to understand, with meaningful options, and you will end up with a character that supports your game play style after only a few missions worth of xp. The Hacking is a neat little sub game that you can easily master and it is so well integrated that you will find yourself looking for things to hack around every turn.
Dead Island very good game open world game
Resistance 3 never heard of it
Dirt 3 dirt 2 is better but the graphics are cool
Deus Ex boring game and meet what gamers wanted
Driver San Francisco seems shitty as the other
Shadows of the Damned never heard of it
Top Spin 4 virtua tennis 4 is better
Crysis 2 (people still play this online?) game sucks it does not follow crysis 1 story ea says that its a trilogy but from seem in cry 2 is not
in other words buy dirt 3 and dead islandWhich 2 games should i buy?
Dead Island, for sure: awesome graphics, pretty decent reviews %26amp; nice gameplay
Resistance 3: I've heard good things from its online beta
Don't buy Crysis 2, i've been trying to get rid of it for months...always unsuccessful -___-
Well if you want a good refresher from the usual zombie games id say Dead Island and Shadows of the Damned, but R3 and Deux Ex are both great games aswell.
Crysis 2 because the single player is pure awesome. Great gameplay and the storyline is great. People still play online. For the second gam, I would either get Dirt 3 or Dead Island.
Dirt 3 and Crysis 2 for sure

Shadows of the Damned, by experience, is the only one I can really recommend. It has an awesome storyline (once you actually pay attention to the storyline), great Resident Evil-style controls, amazing graphics, some fun and sometimes confusing puzzles, and a lot of dirty jokes. (I s*** you not, the first weapon you have is called the B-o-n-e-r [dang censors].) It's a truly good game, but it's not really appropriate for young children or religious activists due to a ton of demons, a ton of dirty jokes, and a ton of comedic cursing.... Oh, and a cannibal that rides a Darkness-farting horse.
With the playthroughs by theRadBrad and GhostRobo on YouTube, I recommend Dead Island as the second choice.Which 2 games should i buy?

Ive been playing deus ex a lot at the moment and I am thoroughly enjoying it especially because theres various ways to play and complete the game.Which 2 games should i buy?
Dirt 3
Deus Ex
p
Dirt 3
Deus Ex
These in my opinion are the best 2.
I have most of these games and I would say get Driver and Resistance3. I have both sf and r3 and they are both really good. Top spin4 is a realistic tennis game and at times can be intense but not really worth your time, Crysis 2 is amazing and awesome so they only reason I dont recommend this is because nobody does play this online anymore.
Dirt 3 is ok but not as good as driver, Dead Island is just fallout with zombies and is a big letdown, Shadows of the Dammed is just god dam bad! As for Deus ex get this if you can squeeze in an extra game because it is really fun!
aNGRY bIRD rio AND mOTO GP2 ,THEY ARE GOOD
They all suck apart from Dead Island, just wait a few week for FIFA 12, then a further few week for Elder Scrolls Skyrim and MW3.
i would personally be stuck between dead island, resistance 3 and deus ex. But like most people are saying i would wait a while for even better game to come out like skyrim, battlefield, fifa, batman etc. and then get these games when they're a lot cheaper.

Is mass effect 2 good?
I know this is late, but it's cheap now and i just finished deus ex and LOVED it, as both are rpg's i wondered if mass effect 2 is as fun and if it doesn't get confusing i usually get lost in rpg'sIs mass effect 2 good?
Mass effect 2 is a brilliant game. It is a mixture between third person shooter and rpg elements in gameplay and has a great dialogue system, voice acting, script, graphics and a lot of other awesome features. If you haven't bought the first mass effect then I recommend that you would it is more of an rpg then mass effect 2 and also a great game or if you have it on ps3 then I would get the interactive comic as the default settings for the second game give you nearly all the evil choices and decide your love interest which you would have been able to alter if you played the first game or went through the interactive comic.Is mass effect 2 good?
It's one of the best games I ever played.Is mass effect 2 good?

Thief deadly shadows keeps going to desktop while loading missions is there any way to stop this?
I am running thief deadly shadows in win 7 and on a dell Inspiron 560 MT and every time it loads a new mission or area it keeps dropping to the desktop and then going back to the loading screen again, no error messages appear either. The game runs and plays fine but is there any way to stop this irritating problem, it also happens on Deus Ex 2 made by the same developer.Thief deadly shadows keeps going to desktop while loading missions is there any way to stop this?
Try running it as an administrator, then run it under windows xp, or windows 98 compatibility.
