huh? 8800gt ($100), Q6600(200), 4gb (15) = 315 cost more than a console that will last much longer than 1 year. Not to mention the other parts you need.
PC gaming is way overpriced. And will die, anyone in there right mind will switch. But a lot of PC gamers are not in there right mind. Also the problems with PC gaming lately... GTA, FAllout all the crappy ports of great great games.
Upgrading your PC every couple years is very excessive. Just replaced my grandmas computer IBM running windows 95. Because no printer drivers for 95. She did not need a new computer but o well hopefully this one will last mroe than a couple years till they stop making drivers for vista. (no way could i install linux, she would not want to try or learn anything new)
I see many people saying buy this or that its so cheap blah blah blah blah. It will last for 2 years. But you forget the other upgrades you will need. So every 2 years you will need to spend more than a new console. Just to run your games at med settings.
Also did anyoen see the PC vs XBox vs PS3 graphics comparison on gamespot? Yeah PC looks the worst... http://www.gamespot.com/featur...ml?tag=topslot;thumb;4
I just bought a 4870 . I just like pc better lol. But it is not the smart buy
