Since I'm building my rig tomorrow, I have decided to list the games that I have for PC (In no particular order) I would like people to recommend other games as well. I'm switching from console so I haven't played any of the notable titles like Half Life and Civilization. I will play almost anything but I'm tired of playing corridor shooters lol.

I also want to trade the copy of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag that I got with my GPU so if you are interested look for that in the Buy/Sell/Trade forum tomorrow. (EST)
Wow you're going to trade away AC4. I mean you're free to do what you want but IMO AC4 is one of the better Assassin's Creed games, it's almost up there with AC2.
btw...
Try Risk of Rain, Anno 2070, Total War Games (I recommend, Rome, Medieval II, and Shogun 2, the rest are really meh), and Chivalry
TBH I've never liked the Assassin's Creed series. It's just not my cup of tea. Thanks! Some of these are already on my radar actually. BTW I'll put it up for trade tomorrow because it took me all day to build my rig and I'm tired lol
Would recommend Portal 2, Batman Arkham Origins (Looks a hell of a lot better on PC than it was on console), and Lord of the Rings Online( to try something new for free).
also try Skyrim, Payday 2, Shadow warrior, Doom, CS: GO, Minecraft, Farcry 3, The Stanley Parable, Arma 3, Borderlands, Left 4 dead, Witcher 2, and The walking dead.
If you've tried your hand at DOTA2 and enjoy it, League of Legends might be worth an investigation.
A lot of Blizzard's games are worth a gander too. Hearthstone is good, Diablo III is much better and the soon-to be expansion should fix a lot of issues. The immenant Heroes of the Storm is another take on DotA as above and World of Warcraft is still the top-dawg MMO. Starcraft II and Heart of the Swarm is also a gem of the genre. And some of their older games, such as Diablo II and Warcraft 3 are highly revered.
But on the PC, there is too much gaming. Too much for any one life.
I've found that I've had a lot of fun with indie games (Gunman Clive, DLC Quest). For longer games, the hitman series might be a good change from shooters. The farcry, doom, and portal series are also fun.
If you're interested in strategy based games I highly recommend Starcraft II and League of Legends. The grind is pretty intense for both of them, but it's very rewarding when you get the hang of it. Also check out http://www.twitch.tv/ if you haven't already. People are always streaming a variety of games that might appeal to you. There's a mobile app for it too. It's sorta buggy from time to time, but it's free so no complaints here.
