850 dollars for a next-gen PC? I bought one that wasn't at the best of standards last year and I paid 1200 for it. Pretty damn good deal if you ask me.

Come on, Vista? So actually it's $650. You might as well buy a PS3.
Well, at least you didn't say it was $3000. But hey, I happen to think a system which will max out Crysis and last 4 years is a pretty damn good deal, since you can use it for so much more than gaming (and it's actually feesible).

Yeah, because instead of upgrading PCs, everyone just decides to throw the old one out every 4 years and buy a completely new one?
I mean, once you've got a tower and Vista (not that you'd need Vista), you won't need to upgrade your RAM beyond 2 gigs for a while, and so all you'd need "every four years" is...a $250 video card.

that's really cheap. hahaha, my pc costs way more than that. my graphics card alone was 460. then i bought ram, a bigger fan. etc. my pc was probably around 1500 or so. good thing my dad paid for it all. your thread kinda...you know...failed.
Obsolete in 4 years? Just like consoles right? At least PC's are upgradable and can be used for other tasks. What do you do when your last-gen console has been overtaken by the next-gen console?

Well, part of the problem is no one ever differenciates between "upgrading" and "building fresh" here. I've been doing core upgrades to my computer maybe every 4 years since my first computer (CPU, MOBO, MEM, PSU, TOWER). This seems to be the kind of upgrade implied in the TC post because it does not include things like a HDD, DVD, etc. But sometimes you gotta start basically from scratch no matter what (especially if you plan to still use the old PC). As for needing Vista, I believe what the TC means by calling the computer "next-gen" is DirectX10 capable, which requires Vista. Someone else posted something once about some supposedly free OS that also was to support Directx10 (with Microsoft's support even) but that sounded awfully suspicious.

well in my opinion starting from scratch a Good next gen computer would be around $1100, though the way I look at it is that evey one buys a new computer every 5 years any way and they will spend maybe $600 so I dont know if you get at what I am getting at but your not really spending that much more.

$250 video card now, thatll be obsolete in 2 years at most. Its probably not DX10 so that is kind of lame, unless $250 is what a 8800GTS 320 costs in USA, not sure.

If we're not getting a Dx10 card, why are we getting Vista? Also, the cheapest Dx10 card is about $150, so the $250 is probably Dx10.

Do some looking online. You can find some barebones kits with the cpu, motherboard, and powersupply for a reasonable price. As for the video card, you just gotta know where to look. And NEVER buy tech that is brand freakin new. It's a waste of money. Give it a few months to age.

You won't have to spend $800+ every 4 years. I've had the same computer for 6 years, I've just upgraded the RAM once and the graphic card once. At the least you can buy a $900 computer or the parts for around $700 and build it yourself and play the best games. Then buy a new $200 graphic card every 4 years.
You don't have to buy a whole new computer every 4 years. That's the great part about PCs, you can upgrade it.
