A few low-compressed 1080p screenshots of multiplatform games running on my 2007 mid-end PC. For people who never played on PC before, put these images in fullscreen and imagine it moving. ;)

Witcher 2 is just sex...

I don't think 500-550 dollars (with os) as to much money. you can actually scale up and down from there as well.

If you gonna get a pc you got to do it right.especially if you a newb and you want to be playing the total war games or starcraft with good frame rate, minimumslowdown,epic sound and good detail on your little army all on a multi screen set-up,or just don't bother.

so i do know what i'm saying.

[QUOTE="lostrib"][QUOTE="skilfulgary"] Actually i was interested in getting into pc gaming as i like the idea of the epicness of it all(love rts games) but after shopping around a little i deemed it too expensive because i have other interestes aswell as gaming,so i do know what i'm saying.

LOL... who decides if someone is "doing it right?" What kind of statement is that? Did you just set some kinda rule on what a person must do on pc? You know.. the platform that is open ended that gives the opportunity to do anything they want? Some randy comments there.

Oh I know. Its just funny to see. The guy literally had disnounced the price probably due to his later statement that if you don't triple screen and other nonsense then there is no point and your doing it wrong lol.. From then on... its just lol

i get what pc's are about you know but for the purpose of gaming,to me it has to be significantly better than a console or why bother?skilfulgary

Even gaming at relatively better performance (which is relatively cheap), it gives you access to hundreds of exclusives. PC is not solely about performance.

To alot of people it is significantly better. I own ps3 and xbox360 also and PC still gets 70% of my gaming time atleast it seems. When some good exclusives like Forza3, Heavy Rain, Uncharted come out for consoles then I get em and play back on my consoles a good deal, but mostly I have alot more fun on my PC of all my systems atm. To me the experience is on a whole new level, dont get me wrong I have enjoyed consoles my whole life, but PC just keeps me coming back time and time again, where as consoles it hot and cold for me. Everyone has there own opinion and experience.

Did I do it right?

There's no point on gaming on the PC just for the sake of it. If you are going to go PC gaming, then it makes sense to build a PC that you are happy with, that performs well in the games you want with a superiority over the consoles which is obvious to the naked eye. A nice medium pc might not be satisfactory if it requires a new GPU in a years time. You want to build a PC that will play all new games at high settings for the next 4 years if possible, and I would think that you need to be prepared to spend toward $800 for that. No point imo in making a pc that plays well for 2012 only. To encourage starter PC gamers, its best i think to advise them of the realities of starting up from scratch rather than upgrading which is different. The costs are far lower.

video cards that came out in 2006 blow away the 360 and ps3 in performance and visuals, and you cant even buy those cards any more. A cheapo $50 card today is still betterwis3boi

How on Earth would you define what is $300 better in graphics. What ridiculous reasoning.

The hardware is there. But the industry is all about console orientation now, with games being created with consoles on mind. You won't find that many pc centric games that push boundries (like HL2 did) for quite a while now.

People don't seem to understand that good hardware is nothing without a development team that can utilize it well. You also rarely get a company building a game engine to use the full power of the latest hardware because it's just going to be pointless. I'd say though that Witcher 2 comes close.

Pictures and videos don't give a good impression of actually sitting at a good PC and playing the game first hand.

Again, how would you define what exactly $300 should net you in performance?
