I would be curious what brand products this "dream build" of yours had on it.

I don't doubt that you can build a system for that price range, but I do doubt the quality of the hardware you are getting.

Here you go... All high rated parts. Name brands.

BFG GTX 280 $329.99

Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem $288.99

Evga Mobo $254.99

G.SKILL 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 $84.99

Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 250GB HDD $54.99

They almost cost the same. What would you chose and why?

Buy a 360, you will have almost every single great upcoming and released PC game, especially the RPGs, and costs half the PS3 price

Except Crysis and a few others, but those games alone are not worth $1,000. I assumed the TC had a 360 already, but if he doesn't, he should go for that. Then again, he didn't say which games he'd be interested in, so I'm not even sure if he understands the systems enough to decide which one better fits his needs. We have multiple choices for a reason, you know. Some options fit other people better.

He already has a good computer. All he has to do is upgrade it which should cost less than $250.

and get a nice big performance downgrade compared to sticking a cheaper gpu than the cost of the 360 in his pc.

dude gotta look at games when it comes to MMO's and RTS's PC is the best however alot of the big games are for console's and while PC versions might be superior in terms of looks generally in terms of online games console games have more structure and less problems. all i can say is look at your favoirte games and games your looking for in the future are they games that are made for console or more structured for PC

[QUOTE="muscleserge"]If you have a 360 and you upgrade you PC, your 360 will be collecting dust. Mine is. However PC gaming is great and it has the 3 best FPS games this gen, both STALKERS and Crysis, these games are a whole new experiance not found in other shooters, especially of consoles. Then there are online games, CS, BF2, WoW etc, as well as better multiplats. But if you like PS3 games more than no matter what kind of PC you have, you won't really enjoy it as much as a PS3. All comes down to preference.

hahaha better multiplats? have u ever seen NHL09 on a PC. it looks like a ps1 game compared to the ps3's version
