It's that time again. Tally up what you paid for games this year (hardware and software) and tell us... was it worth it?

How much I spent Last year

I spent most of the money on my new rig

Asus PT6 Motherboard $239.99
Intel Core I7 920 $279.99
6gb DDR3 OCZ RAM $99.99
Sapphire HD4870 $174.99
WD VelociRaptor 150GB $229.99
Zalman 9700 socket LGA 1366 $10
(I had my zalman 9700 mounted as a cpu cooler and changed it to something better)
COOLER MASTER R4-L2R $8.99 (brought 2)
Prolimatech Megahalems Rev.B CPU Cooler $60
samsung dvd burner $20
ABS Diablo Full tower Case S100
logictech mx518 $50
OCZ Power Supply 700 watt $90
(I had swapped it to my old machine now swapped back with the bfg down)

L4D2 $30

$1402.93
that's not including shipping and tax

I did spent 15 bucks to RMA video card and my PSU

I believe with this system I should be set for any PC games that comes out for the next few years maybe decades? Wishful thinking.
