      My favorite of all those games was Legend of Dragoon, which I believe was a Sony PlayStation 1 exclusive. VERY lengthy game, came on 4 discs.

          @scottalanmiller Same here. Don't mind a classic JRPG once in a while though.

          I loved the Dragon Warrior (Dragon Quest in Japan) series (1 to 4 or 5) back on my NES. Then I left the console realm and never really played the series again. I keep meaning to buy the ones I can for other platforms now, just haven't.

          Dragon Quest VII on the PS2 is one of my favorite games ever!!

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

                The EMotion Engine chip really broke a lot of ground.

                  Yes. Lots of good technology in there. Dream cast was awesome too.

                    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.

                        @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..

                                          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
