You don't have to spend a great ammount of money on a rig to beat the 360.


For the lemmings:

For $580 or soI just built this rig...

Intel C2D E2160 and OCed 2.9Ghz
2GB Corsair XMS2 667mhz
Gigabyte P35-DS3L
MSI Geforce 8600GTS OC edition and Oced further to 730/1250
200GB WD Sata drive

anyone that knows PC's well enough, that is a gaming rig that pulls just under 13,000 marks in 05 and 6200 or so in 06...for under $600. Thats without any memory tweeking, etc....All from Newegg.com


dude, how do you expect to play games without a case, an os, a mouse, a keyboard, speakers, microphone, monitor, and so on?

it costs at least 1300 to built a great QUALITY gaming pc in this day and age.

I already have a case, an os, a mouse, a keyboard, and head phones......why don't console fanboys include the price of an HDTV, all the accessories, more expensive games, XBL if you have a 360, and the 3 extra controllers you need if you want to play with frieds?

Nobody knows your situation, tastes in games, budget, interests better than yourself so why dont you make your own damn decision instead of asking a bunch of hermits and lemmings with biased views?

that's not the point man. i'm just saying, it costs at least that much (1300) to make a good gaming pc from scratch.

you are absolutely right in your second point though.

Its gonna cost around $800 for a decent computer in canada at least. I don't update my monitor CRT's own :)

This is the year of the PC!! http://www.gamespot.com/pages/forums/show_msgs.php?topic_id=24525221

check out the other lists too from 2006 and older as well.

If your just getting into PC gaming you have alot of catching up to do because there are alot of games that have already come out that are really worth checking out. That XBOX exclusive list is pathetic compared to whats coming for the PC really. If you can afford it now is the time to get into PC gaming. System wars is really the fight for second place ;)

I have a 360, but a PC seems like a better choice imo
