save money build your own computer

technology has no limits they will always be able to make it faster and better. Desktop wins especially if you build it your self (which you should)

4870 but im waiting for dx11 cards to come out then ima crossfire

ok i've seen lots of these questions and everytime my answer is depends.

I need to know what kind of games you play. I can't just simply give you a yes or no answer because that computer might be good for somepeople but for others it might not. If you plan on playing crysis on the max and farcry 2 on the max or even very high then no that computer is not for you. But if you are someone who doesn't care much about crysis and plays games like warcraft 3 and other rts then that computer way excedes your needs. What games do you plan on playing when they are released? do you plan on playing starcraft 2 because if so then that computer is fine, if you plan on playing crysis 2 at max then probably not.

time splitter my friend had that game and we had so much fun playing it at his house

Anyone else think that castle crashers would work perfectly on the psp? I played on xbox 360 and it was a lot of fun but i just think a side scrolling game like that would fit better on psp or maybe not better but just as good. With castle crashers coming on ps3 there might be a chance, i can only pray.

Ok so first of Console sorry laps of judgment. Now to all you PC gamers out there last games i played on a custom built system was Dark Forces Jedi Night and Alien Vs Predator (although i do revisit Diablo form time to time) and i spent more time trouble shooting with system settings and tweaking with patch's than i did ever really enjoying the game i was attempting to play. Now with my "Console"s i through in a game and nine times out of ten it works. This is a huge draw for me i spend a huge amount of my day solving problems when i want to relax and hang out with my friends XBOX live is there i wish it was the same for my PlayStation but the interface is clunky and i don't know anyone who owns one. So I guess my point here is that for a life long gamer I felt that the Console was simpler and all around more enjoyable. Or did i miss out on when computer games worked right on all systems right out of the box.WTFBRO43215

Thats weird i have never had to spend more than 1 minute setting up system settings, games detect my video card and cpu and will auto adjust and if i get lag i turn down and thats it, sometimes i play around with controls but that barely takes anytime because for fps i just change crouch from c to control and im set. I don't know ur doing something wrong then if it takes u that long and u are really bothered by it, i guess some people just can't figure out how to use computer and computers are too complex for some people if that is the case then sure go play console. If pc is too difficult to handle then don't use it stick with consoles and buy a mac, no need to start a thread i enjoy pc because i can figure out a pc easily and i like additional free content user made but it's all preferance.

I used to understand the draw to PC gaming due to better graphics and more responsive controls. But those days are done with this new generation so what is left for the PC gaming. I know this will probably start some real heat but this has been a perplexing topic.WTFBRO43215

pc still has better graphics and everyone has a pc might as well just upgrade it, it honestly doesn't cost much u can build an amazing computer for 700. If you think about it console is actually more expensive because you have to buy a very costly hd tv to get the full experience. I will tell you the main reason i prefer pc gaming. EXTRA FREE USER CONTENT. With pc gaming you get user made mods which add hours upon hours of fun. Example half life 2 there are so many great mods like insurgency, dystopia, neotokyo, pirates viking knight. If you check out the mods i just listed and you look at screen shots of them, they look like real retail games which is amazing especially since i paid 20 bucks for half life 2 and got 100 hours of game play out of it from mods. Also UT3 lots of mods, and cod 4, and crysis. Pc can't get outdated because you can always update, right now it may seem that xbox 360 or ps3 graphics cant' get any better but it can, game developers do not have the power to make each object an individual object, we can expand very far with graphics and pc you can constantly upgrade so you don't need to throw out 400 dollar box and buy another one. Example in games grass is just 1 solid texture, but in the future they will be able to make each blade of grass it's own object with it's own actions and reactions giving it a more sense of realism. I also like mouse and keyboard controls, some people who play console will disagree but i doubt they used mouse and keyboard for very long, once u get used to it console controllers will feel slow and unresponsive. Pc will always out perform technology is growing exponentially and pc will always get on top of technology, Pc already has a xbox 360 and ps3 emulator it's in beta but still it's there which is kind of funny. But i can understand why somepeople prefer console, i own a ps3 because i am a metal gear solid fanboy and i will buy anything kojima makes, but i like my ps3 because of fighting games and playing games with my friend in split screen. (I don't have an hd tv yet :( but i'll probably get one with my bonus in december)
