That's exactly what you want if you can afford it.  You have something that will be able to run programs great for years to come.

Haha.. You know what you just reminded me of.  I went out and bought the two books on the right in you pic after I started playing the first "Pool of Radiance" game way back. I had a few other AD&D games also and thought the books would help since I didn't know anything about it. 

I was way wrong.   I've never played a D&D game at the table, but I've listened to a few podcasts where they do.  It seems like fun if you have the right group.

Ages of Empire 2 (they're all good but this one's my favorite).

We never knew when we'd change or get changed from Allies to Enemies by our friends.  Usually when you're fighting an overwhelming battle and you get the notice.  And you hear evil laughter from the other room.

Good times...

I used to have a group of five or six of us that played all of the time back in my early teens. I miss those days.

This past year I discovered a co-operation board game called Pandemic. It is so much fun, we play it regularly. Each players has a certain skill to try to stop a virus spreading the world.

Looks like fun.  How long do the games usually last?

The Call of Juarez games are fun.  I like the western theme in the FPS's.

I have the Killing Floor 1.  That game gets to be insane.  Hi adrenaline rush.    How does 2 fair?  Is looks better.
