So I've finally bitten the bullet and got round to buying myself a good gaming PC. Currently on my hitlist of games to get are:
World of Tanks World of Warships War Thunder Armoured Warfare Payday 2 Planetside 2 Star Wars Battle Front
What else is good that you guys play?

I'd argue against Planetside 2, purely on a factor that you need a large group to have any fun, and that the community has devolved into the epitomy of a cess pool. Otherwise, let me just discretely check my Steam Library for good games......
Angels Fall First (Still sort of in development, and is essentially a seven year old engine right now, but still pretty fun and interesting. Might be a better replacement for Battlefront as I've heard its kind of a mess for any kind of fun play) EYE Divine Cybermancy (These guys made a 40k game without making a 40k game. Also they're the same studio making the new Deathwing FPS) Homeworld Remastered (Its the best space game, only prettier. Need I say more?) Any Bethesda Game (With the understanding that you're not buying the game to play it stock, but modded to merry hell and back.) Mechwarrior Online (Another F2P game, its pretty good, but the forum community is the epitome of toxic. Stompy mechs fighting other stompy mechs with maximum customization (As long as you aren't a filthy Clanner) is as good as it gets, but leads to some stale meta builds in higher player tiers) The Metro Redux Series (2033 and Last Light are both good games stock, but Redux fixes up 2033's engine to the Last Light one, and by god are both games pretty in a way that's hard to explain. Plus the game has a ton of good atmosphere) STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl or Call of Pripyat (I've only played the first, and it was pretty good, although you'll want to mod it for at least bug fixing. From what I've heard, Clear Sky is the weakest of the series, with Call of Pripyat having a better engine and decent enough story. Also great for atmosphere and the like) Space Engineers, and perhaps Medieval Engineers (Of the two games, Medieval Engineers is a lot better for building more compact fiddly mechanical stuff, due to being built from the ground up to take advantage of the compound block system they have, whilst Space Engineers has more overall content and scope, but lacks in compound blocks but is nearing one of the bigger releases so far, that of Planets) Warframe (Its a flipping ninja simulator game, complete with claymores and assault rifles. Kind of grindy, but overall has some good replayability, although I've been out of the loop, especially after seeing a friend play and do some pretty flippin' ninja stuff that I was unaware of being possible.) Wargame: The Series (Red Dragon is your best bet, as its the most recent one and has the most active community. Its a RTS game based upon the scenario of a Cold War gone hot, and has realistic engagement ranges for units.) Warhammer End Times: Vermintide (Rat Killing Simulator 2015. Also its in the same genre as Left 4 Dead, but melee combat is far more satisfying and meaty, especially considering the limited range weapon choice. Does have some slight grindy progression, but is pretty fun to run around as a Dwarf and cleave Skaven skulls) Arma 2/3 (3 is for playing tacticool simulator style combat, and just doing cool things, whilst 2 I'd get specifically for DayZ, the mod, not the standalone, as there's quite an active community for that game.)

Sweet, I'll check those out. I did have warframe for a while, but my laptop stopped being able to handle it. Just remembered I also have Mordheim as well.
Planetside 2 I'm getting as I have a load of friends who already play it, so we'll work as a unit together.

Dark Souls and Verdun are both fun.

Oh, I forgot about Dark Souls. I've heard its great. The witcher is supposed to be good as well, I think?

There's this hot new MMO coming out called Runescape, I think you might like it. But be warned, it's very demanding and your PC might not be able to handle it.

It's okay mate, not everyone is cut out for the majorly advanced dating simulation mechanics in that particular game.
