Getting a new computer...

Since i'm getting a new computer very soon, and selling my old one to a friend, i figured if there's anything i should do on it/save stuff.
So far i have thought of certain save files of games but other than that, i wouldn't know. Got all my games on Steam, and no important private stuff.
Anything else?

Also, i made a list of games i am finally be able to play on my new one, am i missing something?

If you use Skype or messengers you could always back up those message files, same if you want to keep your browser history/favorites.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

Good one! Let me look in saving bookmarks...

EDIT: Alright, got that done. Gotta love dropbox.

What I like to do Polobow is get everything pre-downloaded.

What I mean by that is if you're keeping one of your harddrives I would download everything I need to that harddrive. I send save files to it, I downloaded drivers, desktop backgrounds, exes like Teamspeak, Ventrilo, Chrome and more (stuff you use on a regular basis).

Then once I got my new computer I just put in my old harddrive in and downloaded Windows 7 to my newer, faster one and went to my Computer to my old harddrive and install everything from it and pretty much had everything I wanted back on my computer in under 10 minutes.

Thank you both for the replies! Spent some good 5 hours installing the computer. It was filled with wondrous joy.

I should make such a list. In the days where I had a crap pc I kept wanting to play all these games that I couldn't because of my hardware. Then I got my new pc and I couldn't remember a single one so I launched cRPG.

I don't see Rome II on that list. List is flawed.

Skyrim sorta sucks, just sayin'.
1H stab is the fastest, strongest and longest 1H animation. There's no reason NOT to use it in all instances. I don't know if it's OP, but it's boring. 1H used to be fun because you had a fast (left), long (right) and the most devastating attack (stab) and had to choose the best attack for each occasion.

This (graphical mod: Project Reality - Climates of Tamriel) + Dawnguard DLC + WARZONES: Civil Unrest + UFO + ASIS + SkyTEST - Realistic Animals and Predators + QD Inventory + Ish Souls to Perks + Immersive Armors + Immersive HUD + Convenient Horses = ten times better and more fun than vanilla Skyrim.

And holy shit at all those mods. Interesting though.

I can't tell you what to backup on your current computer, I can tell you however, that you should download the new network/lan driver (NIC driver) for your new motherboard. 

I've noticed a lot of motherboards these days already have drivers for their NICs on Windows 7, but you never know, and that may be one problem for you.  Once you can get online though, then you can get any drivers you need.

Just tested bf3 on ultra and can get smooth 60+ fps, on 1680x1050.
