I love CoD4 a whole lot more than Halo 3, but I think Halo 3's graphics are better. I think you guys who are saying CoD4 has better graphics are kind of just leaning towards it because of the postprocessing stuff like DOF, which isn't really reflective of graphical quality. That should be determined by things like how high resolution the textures are, how good the lighting is, and how high polygon the models are, all areas that Halo 3 excels in. In fact, some of the textures in CoD4 are really bad, like the Uzi.

cod4 by far. cod4 uses bloom lighting, halo 3 doesn't...xkojimax

Uh.. do you even know what Bloom is? But you're right, Halo 3 doesn't use Bloom; it uses HDR.

But anyway, it doesn't even matter. They're both on par with each other, they both look great, so who gives a **** Really.

Uh.... If you're going for newer games, then you'll need a better processor, way more RAM, a newer video card. Basically all the important stuff..

The monitor that comes with that piece of crap is probably more expensive than the actual PC itself (this, and insane overpricing, I'm guessing, is why it's an ungodly $2,200).

If you mean really newer games, like ones that take advantage of DirectX 10, then you'll need a video card that supports that as well, plus Windows Vista, rather than XP.

If you want my specific recommendations for components, go with:

2 or more GB of DDR2 (PC26400) RAM

nVIDIA 8800GTS

Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 or higher (or AMD equivalent, whichever you prefer)

I got this exact setup for under $1700 on NewEgg, but I'm guessing you don't want to build your PC, so I'd go with this web site:

The computer on the site you provided is GROSSLYoverpriced, so I'd stay away from that site if I were you.
