Jeez, you can be berated by hardware nuts as much as you want, but the fact is, unless you're a graphics nut, there is simply no reason to upgrade your PC at the moment.
There are plenty of games on the horizon for th PC, I guess, but they can all be played with a midrange card at medium settings such that they run at decent framerates. Games aren't about the graphics, they're about the fun.
I'm a playstation nut myself, but in the end, what it comes down to is - your buying a gfx card (if you're replacing a decent one with a flagship model) does not expand your gaming experience one bit. Plus, chances are, unless you're very much into very large scale, mouse controlled strategy games (sup com, world in conflict, etc) and FPSs, and nothing else, you're wasting your money.
You dont need to go for a PS3, but go for a console in general. Buying a gfx card opens up your gaming possibilities to what? 10 more games? Buying a console opens your options to 100+ games by 1st quarter next year no matter which you pick.
And these include FPSs, RPGs, Racing games, casual games, and even a very high profile strategy game (End War).
PCs are the domain of graphics wh**es, please make the right choice.
As for which console to buy, research the type of games you like on each console before taking your pic. Whichever way you go, consoles simply have more AAA titles per year each than the PC, no matter what.
Also note that the vast majority of games are multi-platform, so that amazing FPS / whatever you're looking forward to is also coming out on the consoles, and chances are you'll be getting a higher and more stable framerate to boot.
