ive been playing mostly
- burnout paradise (my 5yo loves this one, he just drives around the city)
- nfs the run

have a few others
- dirt 3
- nfs most wanted (the new one, i loved the old one)
- nfs hot pursuit
- grid 1 + 2
- eurotrucker 2, just bought this one to see what it was like, actually got it for free.

basically sticking to the ones that support 3 monitors the best and put the hud on the centre screen. Next big ticket item is probably a gtx 780ti, my al cheap 750 1gb cant really handle many games across 3 monitors, well on anything higher than medium settings.

i bought it mostly to use an actual desktop, better ergonomics than a traditional desk, and have been playing many fps on it :D but if you get a racing rig, you have to play racing games too :)
