Companies still make 775 motherboards, ones with DDR3 RAM slots? O_o

I guess.
Apparently Gigabyte GA-G41M-COMBO takes DDR2 & 3.......and you can still buy it new (well I can anyway).

[Fer!]

So you're keeping your CPU but getting a new motherboard and RAM? In which case you will need thermal paste then, I thought you were getting a new CPU.

Well shit. That sounds complicated.

[deadlegion]

It's not complicated

paying for something that I'd play for less than two hours

Welcome to modern gaming, son.

I only played SWAT4 but I really liked it. I have these awesome memories of pepper-spraying the shit out of disobedient grandmas.

It's not, but because you're taking the heatsink off (to put the CPU from one board into another) it'd be best to replace the thermal paste on the CPU.

All you have to do is clean it off, make sure the CPU and heatsink are nice and shiny. Put a peasize amount in the centre of the CPU, put the heatsink on and voila.

The thermal paste I have has detailed application instructions

[Drageuth]

Cool. Thanks.

I remember getting Doom once but it didn't work with the mouse and was keyboard only. I know this is how it worked originally, but hey.

There's a mod type... thing... out there that allows you to use mouse and keyboard. Like, you can actually aim with the mouse and look up and down instead of left and right. They retextured all of the sprites as well, but I think (hope) there's a way to turn that off. All you need is the original WAD files and you're good to go. If I remember right, it was called jDoom.

I remember using it back in the day. The retextures were, quite honestly, terrible, but it was fun to play around with.

Hey, I'm playing the stuff I'm buying.

Except Battlefield 3, The Witcher and Assassin's Creed.

Me and my brother loved those games, along with FIFA, Soldier of Fortune and Ground Control, brother and I were somewhat PC gamers back in the day.

Really? I thought it needed more stuff to apply or something. Plus it's cheap, I don't know why I thought it was really expensive.

Will look it up. I don't mind the old graphics and not being able to aim, but I want to have strafing and quick turning.

Some notes are:

NEVER use any oil or petroleum-based cleaners (WD-40, citrus based grease removers, etc) to clean the surfaces.

do NOT use your finger to apply or smooth the compound.

Try to minimise any twisting or lateral sliding.

Aww. I wanted to use baby lotion.

[Inferno.]

I used WD-40 to clean the CPU and heatsink in the tower I have. Woops.

You can use zDoom too, if you want the old sprites. jDoom though makes it more graphically advanced.

I'd only wish for Steam to let me edit the game banners on Grid View, having those little shitty icons looks bad. ):

I think I'll pick that one out.
