New-ish to PC gaming! Help me out! :)

[MayorKelsey]

Hey guys! I just got a new laptop today. Here are some specs:

i7 Processor
NVIDIA GeForce Graphics Card
8 GB RAM
750 GB HDD

I am looking for a new game to play. I like games such as Runescape, WoW, etc.
I've been looking around on Steam since I heard about their summer sale, I was thinking about L4D2 and/or Bulletstorm. Any suggestions/opinions would be awesome!

Well first the GPU you listed doesn't give much info. But sounds like you have a sexy CPU. Oh and I'll totally play WoW with you dude.

Left 4 Dead 2 is great and $5 right now. You should definitely check out Dota 2 also since its free. My favorite RPG's The Witcher 1 and 2 are worth it too. Dark Souls is also amazing. My last two suggestions are more niche. Recettear is an indie Japanese game with a focus on managing a store and selling items and the other game is Civilization V: Complete edition. Civilization can last you for weeks on end. Fantastic game.

Oh and obviously you should make a Steam account! http://store.steampowered.com/

Do you perhaps know the model number of your laptop? I'm positive that you will be able to run those games, but you're not specific enough with the processor and what graphics card you have.

Oh yeah, definitely get L4D2 and Borderlands 2 as well.

Sorry about that. I have an Asus X550LB. http://www.amazon.com/ASUS-X550LB-DS71-15-6-Inch-Laptop-Gray/dp/B00HJSDU3U

Check out the daily deals. Civilization V, Skyrim and Dishonored are all on there. All are worth the price. I'll also add Kingdoms of Amalur which is a fun game but not perfect. Sleeping Dogs is also incredible and $4 right now. Look sexy too.

Here are some of the Steam games I'm really loving.

Europa Universalis IV
Postal 2
Fallout 3
Terraria
Doom (with the Brutal Doom mod)
Dark Souls
Brutal Legend
Portal 2
Skullgirls

If you plan to get a Fallout OP I recommend skipping Fallout 3 and getting New Vegas complete instead.

It seems like a good pc, mine is an I3 and still runs most of the games on minimum from the past generation of games. Your seems much more like my partner one, so it might play mostly everything on medium/high..

What type of games are you looking for? I can't really suggest games that you won't like.
Strategy, RPG, Shooter etc. You can add me on steam if you want ^^

Try The Stanley Parable, you won't regret it!

Deus EX: Human Revolution is really cheap right now. Check it out if you like RPG's.
