Considering HDTV was supposed to be a standard, I think the current generation of consoles are doing the right thing.

actually to fully appreciate PC gaming, you only need to spend about 1k. maybe less.

But some people THINK they need to spend 3 or 4k to do the exact same thing. A better PC it is yes. but i dont understand why some people think they need it when you can spend much much less and still run any game at full settings.

PCs drop in price pretty fast, so I just always buy the second-newest stuff.

Yeah....

I'd go with water cooling, top of the line processor, top of the line dueling video cards, 7.1 surround sound, sound card that supports my sound set up, a top of the line LCD monitor, a nice reclining chair that swivels and maybe does other stuff, the mini fridge on my desk, and maybe 8 gigs of ram and a terabyte of space or two if I had 3 or 4k sitting around.


Don't get me wrong, my 900 dollar PC can run most games damn well up to this point.
