I know.

I'm jonsing for it so, I can finally play Silent Hunter IV, Tropico 3, DCS: Black Shark and fiinally play games like Company of Hereos on High!

This will be the first time in my life that I actually have a computer that's actually pretty good.

To give you an idea of how your machine will perform, I have 2.5GHz AMD X4 9850 processors and 8 gig DDR2 RAM. Everything else is about the same in your system as mine. I rund COD4 at full graphics. SH4 is played at full graphics. I just got Fallout 3 and I run that just about full tilt. Your machine will perform very well and the days of worrying if your machine will run game is now over for a very long time. Just load the game and push all the graphic to max. Have fun!

You're not helping my anticipation.

I just found out that it's shipped and will be on my door Monday at 3:00pm.

I have enough money to get one game with this paycheck, anyone have any suggestions?

So far I have
SH3
SH4 Gold
Company of Hereos +It's expansion
Tropico 3(gametap)
DCS: Black Shark

Since you're into military sims give Arma II a spin.
It should definitely be worth it.

I was thinking about ARMA 2 but heard it had a lot of bugs.

I was thinking about Crysis, but it sounds like just an FPS with pretty graphics.

I'd say Crysis is more than that.

I really don't like FPS games. The few exceptions are the more realistic ones, such as OFP/Arma and Vietcong. But I love Crysis, enough to have played through it 5 or 6 times and I'm still not tired of it. That suit gives a lot of freedom in playstyle (go stealth or rambo, whatever you prefer, it works), and the island is spacious enough to let you approach every situation from multiple angles (opening up more tactical gameplay).

Simply put: nanosuit = WIN

But a RPG should give you a bit more replay value; maybe have a look at Dragon Age or Fallout 3 as well.
