Would you play on a PC if you had $5000 for the ultimate experience?

Like the title says....for all you console players out there:

basically, if the money was given to you to make the ultimate gaming PC would you play or enjoy it more?

I would rather spend 5000 dollars on a Mitsubishi - Diamond 82" / 1080p / 120Hz / 3D DLP HDTV.

If someone would give me that 5000$ PC, sure.

I'm a gamer but I would never spend $5000 in one go on gaming equipment.

Edit: Oh, if the money was given to me? I'd probably buy a new PC but I definitely wouldn't spend $5000 on one.

I'm sure I could think of better things to do with my 5000$ that would last more than two years :P

I love my console and do some indie PC gaming while I'm at school, so the bulk of my gaming is actually PC currently.
But to be hardcore in the PC gaming universe, it takes a certain kind of person. A person that knows all these things about cards and stuff like the back of his hand or is willing to do detailed research on the matter.
I'm not one of those people, so I play old games and indie games, enjoy them a lot, and have spent arond 50$ on games I'll never be able to play :P

Already do game on a PC with a lot..a lot less than 5k.

Been there done that!!!

5K lmao...

A gaming PC doesn't cost $5000...AmazingGaming

But it can if you want it to! $5K isn't nearly enough to display the TRUE potential of PC gaming... not that I know anyone with a $5K+ rig...

I already have a gaming PC, but hypothetically, I would take the money, spend a third of it, be set for 10 years for PC gaming, and pocket the rest...

not a chance, the 4500 would go to a home threatre system, and the left over a console

Gaming on a PC just doesn't appeal to me. Plus if I had that $5000 I'd sell my car and buy a better one

You would have one hell of a rig.
And,damn right I would.
The only thing stopping me from getting into pc gaming is the money.

Most of you are missing the point. I'm not saying it costs $5K game on a PC, I'm saying $5k so that no one in the console workd would think twice about the answer.

But, I didn't specify what the above poster said.

I'll say it another way:

If someoene told you that they were going to fund your gaming experience no matter the cost....but the only catch was that you could only game on one type...which would it be? Console or PC.

So in other words everything is paid for.

I'm sure someone could spend $1500 on a high-end gaming rig and then keep the rest for other things...

I would supercharge my camaro.

I would probably spend $1500 on a pc, and keep the rest

Do you ppl even read what ppl post??? It's like talking to a deaf person. THE PRICE IS NOT THE POINT.

Then why mention a price? Why not just say "If you had the ultimate high end PC, would you play it and enjoy it?".

As soon as you stick a price on there, you're suggesting that's the price of the "ultimate" rig. Your own fault, mate.

I'd spend about $1200-1500 on a PC and the other $3500-3800 on DS games.

Yeah, and it doesn't really open a discussion. Of course if everyone had an ultimate rig in their bedroom they would use and enjoy it.

Honestly, the PC-based flight sim setup of my dreams would be around $500k not $5k. :lol:

$5k? That might buy two of the 3 1080p TVs I want (Eyefinity). He He.

If we had to spend the entire 5000 on just the PC, I guess yes I would play it among other things. I'd buy a decent size IPS monitor that's hopefully fast enough to not cause any ghosting while playing. Probably i7 980x, why not, got to blow as much as possible, dual 480s, best liquid cooling solution I can find, three or four 2tb hard drives for data and 1tb ssd for a boot drive. Not sure, all of that might actually cost more than $5000.

Na that's dumb. I'd spend 3000 on a huge rig and monitor with top of the line specs, spend 600 getting the ps3 and wii, and the other 1400 will go straight to games.

With $5000.00 I could buy 5 gamings PCs and monitors :D

LOL consolite comments, in the real world 80% of you would take the PC and never want to go back to console gaming again...

IMO 1k is not really needed.
