I'm building my first computer that I want to use for some gaming. What are some good games? If it's multiplatform I'd still prefer to play on my Xbox. I may be interested in something like Civ 5. I don't really know much about it other than when I saw it I thought it might look cool.
Any tips I should know or a certain game that graphically blow me. What would convert a console lover into a master racer or whatever you call yourselves

Skyrim with nexus mods is always a great graphical intro to PC

You didn't need to build a rig to play Civ 5. It runs well on my laptop. And yeah it's great.
There is a big PC thread up above. I think since PC gaming is so big and diverse, there's no single "killer app" that all PC gamers must have. What kind of games do you like, PC has them all. I love how the Steam store is set up - lets you navigate different categories and the "community" discussions are integrated.

Skyrim is the "This is what you've been missing" example for PC. It was my first realization too. I played Skyrim on 360, put about 50 hours and got bored. Then I built a PC and got Skyrim and I literally downloaded 4 more mods yesterday and still play to this day. If you built something good enough to run all of the graphical enhancements and a decent ENB, your life will never be the same.
This is when I was hooked.

don't be an idiot. Assuming your building a legit PC, any xbox game will look better on pc and you can use a controller if you want. PC games are also cheaper.

Civ 5
I have three games currently on my totally non-gaming laptop: Morrowind, NR2003, and Civ 4.

Missed this little gem. Your PC will have a 4790K and a GTX 970. Other than playing certain online games with your Xbox friends, why on earth would you prefer the xbox?
EDIT: I assume you know that you can use an Xbox controller on your PC?

I built a rig when I played in CAL for Counter-Strike years ago... it smoked. But that was years ago and now it's obsolete
