Try mafia II or fifa 11 i liked them a lot on the pc . And welcome to the site I'm kevork. but I'm not a pc freak Like you, I'm more of a ps3 freak :P
lol:P
mafia ii has the same problem as dirt 1:P
and im no ps3 freak cz i dnt have one:P
do wish i had an xbox :/
thats why im selling my old dualcore pc :P
anyway 10x for the post :D bt i don't like fifa :P yes i dont like fifa ( some people go into shoke if i say that :P)
bluewolf wrotedota :P
i also hate games like starcraft dota and WoW :P
you need to get a graphic card, your using intel's integrated graphics which cant render many recent games correctly.
and he performance would be much better using an Nvidia or ATI/AMD gpu, an HD5750 or HD5770 will be perfect with your setup.
you'll run Dirt1 and 2 on maximum settings with high fps.

as for games I recommend:
first person:
Metro 2033, Bioshock, Crysis, Oblivion

Racing:
F1 2010, Grid, rFactor

Other:
GTA4, Gears of War, Civilization, Mass Effect 1 & 2, Assassins Creed 1 & 2, Street Fighter 4..

Your not a PCfreak :P

thats a billion man :D awsome games BTW i played some of them bt the others look awsome :D
as for the video card .. im already getting one for christmas xD im getting a EVGA Nvidia GTS 450 1GB DDR5 card :D
BTW how did you overclock your CPU
I got the same motherboard and when i try to overclock it still showes 3.06GHz and i cant make it to 4GHz
I think my cores are locked :/

I had the same prob but you can fixe it if it's asking you something about nvidia .
I don't like fifa either but I tried the game I liked it alot :P My last fifa game was fifa 99 :P before fifa 11

lol mine was last fifa game was fifa 99 too :P bt my last fifa game that i liked was worldcup 98 ^__^ so ill try fifa 11 ;)
BTW im armenian too :D

you can overclock it from the Bios ofcourse, multiply the frequency of the core clock.
in order to test or verify the core clock speed download a software called RightMark CPU utility, it tells your realtime cpu speed.
I tried to overclock it to the 4GHz mark, but it kept crashing, so i figured 3.6GHz was the best.

if i overclock and look in the system properties it still says 3.06GHz bt if i use cpu-ID it does show the overclock bt it shows no performance increase :/
forget about the overclock , if you dont have any purpose on overclocking that is , ive overclocked my cpd from 1.86 to 2.42 and i can go up to 3.0 yea thats crazy but im using like 3 fans etc.. why did i do that? because i needed more speed while playing Fps games like cod4 , modern warfare 2 or black ops and its stable if m cpu is already 3.0 that is a good speed (frequency) what really matters is the caching size if its more than 8 mb that is a good cpu and remember you have an i3 thats is better than a core 2 duo cpu and not better than a quad core cpu like the q6600 overclocked 3.0 it owns an i3 and even a regular i5 ... , more frequency does not mean better performance it just means you have faster cycle per command from T1 to T6 (as i remember) :P

System properties wont change, it just displays the stock speed of your cpu model, a software like cpu-id shows the real overclocked speed in real-time.
and what kind of increase in performance are you expecting?? overclocking your cpu will make multitasking much faster, but if you mean in videogames,
if you dont have a gpu as I stated before overclocking wont help you much gaining any performance boost.
overclocked i3 + a good GPU= beasty overall performance

Edit:
@jajoja you can gain pretty decent performance from an overclocked core I3, I can go up to 4.6GHz if I install the right cooling fans,
but the thing is that I don't really need that processing speed because of my weak gpu, core i3 are much better than regular dual core processors and pretty much extremely effective when overclocked, yeah after all the cache is what really counts for future quad demanding games.
and there you go an 8mb cache less than 2.6GHZ processor is more than twice the price of an i3, but still an overclocked i3 can produce high end quality tasking and gaming performance if matched up with the right hardware(memory, graphic card).
I despise Dota. What people see in that game, I will never know.
hey pc freak welcome to the forums, if youre looking for racing games to play there is need for speed hot pursuit (2011) and it is very awesome, and for first person shooters there is fallout new vegas...
me is Armenian too!
@tako I totally agree I too hate that game very much...

Pfft. No reasons why you "despise" the game? Its actually a hard game and requires a lot of time and practice to fully master it, which is nice. It can show each person's style of play, and each game is a random; a real battle to the death. Now that Dota 2 is on the way, the Dota community will grow larger.

well you are right , games are not just about how they look like or how good the graphics are , it's so stupid when someone at the netcafe starts moquing you for just seeing you play DOTA or WoW , try the game and master it , then put your own judgment on it.


as for you pc freak , the most game non-online i ever enjoyed was Half-Life( as for hal-life i mean the original one + opposing force campaign + blueshifg campaign + decay , and hl2 + hl2 episode 1 + hl2 episode 2 ) for me this is the best single player story i will ever play , and too bad it's not very popular in lebanon since the term half-life means " crossfire " for most of people ( half-life got lots and lots of awards )
Also, if you care about game-play and creativity more than fancy graphics, you should definitely give minecraft a try. At first, i thought only a few of my friends (the geeks) would enjoy it. Strangely, most of the ppl at my dorms saw me playing it and wanted in!
If you care about racing, i recommend Dirt2 and the upcoming Test Drive 2 (open world racing game). forget about mafia 2, get Far Cry 2 and BAttlefield: Bad Company 2. And you definitely need to play Mass Effect 2.
Cheers !
