Just isn't.

it's hard to say "no" to a gaming pc if you're in the market for one. go for it and never look back.

Built is past tense, meaning you've already built it..

Aside from that, how is PC and PS3 not an option? Since when is 1 better than 2? You could build a very capable $700 PC so I don't see what the problem is..

PC if your dying to play PC exclusives, but then again your missing out on many, many great PS3 exclusives. Imo PS3+360 is the greatest option but thats just me :)

If you are willing to spend $1000, why not spend it wisely and do something like split between the two? $700 is more than enough to make a great PC, and by doing that you win on both fronts.

That makes no sense. You can get a good PC for $700 and then have money to get a PS3 for it's game. Get the best of both worlds.

get ps3 and a sony or samsung full hdtv for 700 dolar (32 inch)

a 1000$ computer will be very outdated but still more powerfull than a ps3. but it is better to get a ps3 and an hdtv for that price.

I think you should go with the PC and for all of you people telling him to build a $700 PC and get a PS3 you can be quiet. Ok the first one who gave the suggestion fine, but after he said it wasn't an option just tell him your answer if he's not doing it why continue to be an ass about it? Besides if he wants to get games for the PC and the PS3 once he starts off, he'll need more money than if he just had to buy games for the PC.

Get the PS3 and pocket the rest of the money. With the 360 and PS3, you will have plenty of games to choose from.

PS3 + $400 worth of games > $1000 pc + $0 worth of games.

No, PC is still better actually.

Also as a PC gamer, I can tell you, free games can only get you SO FAR.

$950 PC + Any Source game (so you can play the endless amount of mods) + The Witcher (substitute an RPG of your choice if you want) > PS3 + $400 worth of games.

I would recommend a PC over a PS3. You should only get a PS3 if you truly want its exclusives.

For PC, you can spend $900 and buy the Valve Complete Pack which comes with 22 games for $100. You can also get every GTA Game for $65 as well. That is just to get started of course.

PC if your dying to play PC exclusives, but then again your missing out on many, many great PS3 exclusives. Imo PS3+360 is the greatest option but thats just me :)

Depending on your viewing distance, a bigger tv could actually be worse.

Get the PC, save up some moolah, and get a PS3 off of eBay/Craigslist. They should be cheaper there.

TC already has a 360 though so he's better off getting rid of the 360 for the fw pennies it's worth, getting a PS3 and PC. Far better combo then PC360. Lots of 360's best games go to PC anyways.

I get the feeling that this was just a troll attempt thread though...

PC, cuz ps3 cant play real mmorpg and rts games.

communication is much easier on pc, and it is very important when you play mmorpg.

Well, if you have the money, I'd go for a $1000 dollar PC, but it'd make more sense to me to get a PS3 and a $700 computer.black_tempest

I'd buy both a PS3 and PC. The PS3 is alwas good for exclusives, and if you don't mind using it for just exclusives, you'll love it. A gaming PC is well ... You know, the ultimate in gaming. If you like that kinda thing.

PC gaming is a much, MUCH different beast than console gaming. You already have a 360 so get yourself a PC and experience wholly different form of this hobby. Just expect to put time and energy into this venture, not only with maintenance but browsing for hiddens gems in the form of awesome games.
