What upcoming pc games should make a console gamer want to get a powerful gaming pc? Are the multiplats that much better on a powerful gaming pc? Im thinking of saving up money for a gaming pc so by the time windows 8 and directx12 comes out I could get those.

Upcoming? Battlefield 3, Metro: Last Light, ARMA 3, STALKER 2, RO2, Futuremark's new game. That is what i can think of off the top of my head that have been announced.

EDIT: Guild Wars 2, Risen 2, Far Cry 3 and Arkham City will probably look a good deal better on PC as well.

Hell even playing old games like F.E.A.R. Doom 3 and Half Life 2 at 1080p and 60fps with anti aliasing makes it worth it to get a gaming pc. Your eyes will thank you. :>

...hate server browsers? How the hell can you possibly hate the superior version which lets you pick what server you want to play on instead of being thrown into random matches?

So, you'll pay $10 more to play a the inferior version with an inferior community?

Unless you get it from D2D, PC version costs the same as console versions.

Or you could wait like less than a month after it's release for the inevitable Black Friday Sale. It'll probably be less than $40. I'd never pay full price for an EA game lol.

^Waiting a full month for BF? That's cool, but you get the expansion pack on day one that will probably cost 15 bucks later on, plus it's Battlefield!!!:P

I even got BC2 on day one.

Back to Karkand isn't a launch day thing. It comes out later. The Physical Warfare thing is day 1 though.

I got BC2 a month after release for 20 bucks off EA Store 8)

In a way that's good, because we'll test out the new maps faster.

How on earth...
