Old school gamer here. Don't play many FPS anymore as I now get motion sick very easily as I have aged. I do play a good amount of World of Tanks, and I watch my boys play Subnautica and Battlefield 1.
Look me up on WOT and join me for a game. MeanoTorino is the handle on WOT as well.

I've got an XBOX One as a media center and I also just upgraded my PC with a new video card, GTX 1070 and new CPU. The CPU jumped from i7 920 4-core @2.66 to i7 970 6-core @ 3.6Ghz, both socket LGA1366.
I have the PC hooked up to my LG TV and can play games using the XBOX contr.oller. It works great and runs @4K 60+ FPS. The consoles definitely have more games but I've got a few on the PC that look insane on the TV, it is such a huge jump.
Also Resident Evil 7 is an awesome game. Very intense.

How does it feel playing with the Xbox controller? I've never been able to get comfortable playing games with a keyboard/mouse, but have seriously been considering doing this same exact setup. Specifically, do you feel any limitations when playing PC games via controller?

Playing with the XBOX One controller is really great. Nearly every game that is available on both the PC and XBOX One plays fine with the controller.
So far I've tried:
* DOOM
* Resident Evil 7
* Half Life Black Mesa (via Steam)
I actually sold my GTX 1070 on EBAY for $460 and bought a Asus GTX 1080 Turbo for $510 on Amazon (pretty good upgrade for $50 difference). Now I can play DOOM @ 4K and 60 FPS on the living room TV.
Coming soon

Big PC gamer here. 100+ games on Steam and a big Diablo 2 enthusiast like OP.
I'm a fan of AAA titles like Skyrim, Fallout, Tomb Raider, but I've actually had more enjoyment from smaller titles. I highly recommend anyone into PC gaming to check out these games on Steam.
These are all games I have considerable amounts of time on
Portal 1 & 2 (And most other games by Valve for that matter)
Team Fortress 2
Antichamber
Deus Ex: Human Revolution
Borderlands (all of them)
Dishonored
Crysis series
The Forest
Kerbal Space Program
Space Engineers
Just Cause 2 & 3
Sanctum 2
The Talos Principle
RAGE
And.... believe it or not... www.slither.io is pretty fun!
I built my current PC in January of 2016:
Intel i7-6700K
Corsair H100i water cooler
32 GB DDR4 @ 2133 MHz
Asrock Z170 Extreme7+
Samsung 950 Pro 512gb NVMe M.2 SSD for boot
Samsung 850 Evo 500gb M.2 SSD for games
HGST 4TB HDD for data
2x EVGA GTX 980 Ti SC cards in SLI, running 3 1080p screens for 5760x1080 Nvidia Surround gaming.
All inside a Cooler Master Storm Trooper case.

And then they released Pascal in June of 2016. I built my comp in February 2016 and went with the 970. I debated waiting but Nvidia has been horrible with actual bringing there new cards to market on time. I figured I'd get at least a year before they actually released the consumer grade Pascal cards. Nope.
Have you looked at the benches of those 980's SLI'd compared to the new 1080? Moore's Law in action. lol

Yeah, I know, right!? I picked up a third 980Ti for another PC literally a month before the 10x series was released, but I guess that was my fault for not keeping up with the times. Building a new PC always seems like a gamble these days. My last build lasted about 4 years until I was tired of it, so this time around I decided to buy the best of the best for it and hope to squeeze out 5-6 years. I'm still happy with it a year and a half later, but now it's almost time to replace my three 1080p screens which are almost 4 years old. There's always something, right?
I have looked at 980Ti SLI vs a single 1080 Ti... The performance of the 980Ti's in SLI is still slightly higher than a single 1080Ti IIRC, but I'm consuming twice as much power and putting out more heat than a single would!

Tech moves way to fast to even try to be current. Unless it's your full time job and you get pro deals from the manufacturers. I built my comp knowing as soon as it was done it would be worth half as much. I'm OK with that as I think most guys that build there own rigs are. There will always be faster, lower TDP, and smaller architecture just around the corner.
People have been saying Moores Law will hit the wall for 10 years now. I bet it's got another 5 at least before starts to slow down. Nvidia just launched Max-Q cards and Intel just launched Optane memory. Both are seriously game changing. If Optane performs the way Intel plans it too it's gonna be bad ass. Basically it's a 3D stack memory that can access from the top, middle, and bottom. Latency is so low it's crazy. With there new controller chip you should be able to use some of it as RAM. Not swap, but actual dedicated RAM. Game changer.

Agreed. I read something at least a year ago saying how it was becoming difficult for Intel to maintain it's track according to Mr. Moore's predictions. I don't blame them! I haven't heard of Max-Q or Optane, but I just looked them up. Sucks for me - Optane requires the Z270 chipset and a 7th Gen chip. I bought in on the Z170 chipset and a 6th gen chip. Lol.
Other than recently, the last computer i built, was to play Diablo 2...heh.
The recent PC (GTX 1080) was built to play virtual reality shooters on the HTC Vive. Have been someone addicted to Fallout 4 VR....loved fallout 3 on the Xbox, so the virtual reality version has been pretty sweet. The game was released prematurely with quite a bit of dissapointments, but i waited to play it until the recent significant patch.
Below is some gameplay i recorded when I first obtained the darth maul light saber via loading the Nexus Mod.
After watching 4K videos of Red Dead Redemption and GTA5 on the XBOX One X I ordered one. I took about a two year break from gaming but I'm now ready to go back.
It's going to be fun playing in 4K on my 82" TV.

I used to play Dungeons & Dragons Online, but the game is pretty antiquated now...
The only games I really enjoy now are real-time strategy games, but those are few and far between. I still long for a new release of Command & Conquer. Guess I'll just stick with Transport Tycoon...

Then see the rebuy screen.
