Some of you and the OP have this wrong. However, let me preface this by saying that I love my PC and work as a tools engineer for my livelihood so you don't think I'm just hating on PC's:
A brand spanking new graphics card for your PC costs more than a brand spanking new console. As long as the console has internet access and a reasonable interface the console is most comparable to replacing your entire PC every few years for the cost of a graphics card. If you want to argue that PC's are on the bleeding edge then I challenge you to maintain the relevance and cost of a console by buying the best new PC components at the beginning, and only the beginning, of every new console cycle. At first you'll maintain parity then the costs will go up as the PC becomes incompatible with new cards etc. and will eventually far outstrip console pricing. At best you'll remain equivalent in computing power but the shrinking PC market seems to be shoving itself more and more into a high-end only corner so in rapid time your PC will be half-assed for the few major tech-demo and intensive strategy games that are released for it.
My best hope for the OP's original sentiment is that consoles hurry up and start supporting a form of mouse if only for downloadable games (I'm pretty sure that's the only thing holding back a PSN Torchlight). *Sigh*... I'm making myself sad.

thats not really hard,when 99% of new pc games are console ports.
939 is your problem, not much to upgrade to.If you look at ebay people sell 939 cpus but at high price for the same money you could aford a new one with a board.
" Going slightly off topic, Just very quickly, nothing matched properly or anything, this is what a current top of the range PC would set you back.. Also this price is in euro's
Thats $2,796 before you even buy a screen mouse or keyboard I forgot to put a hard drive in there as well.. "
any person to pay this much is Fuking retarded.Lets go thru this and tell you whats wrong. 400$ videocard thats already outdated and gets 5% more performance then the 200$ card 350$ for ram,you dont even need more then 3gigs and 6gigs shouldn't cost you more then 100$ 542$ for cpu,the model under it is only 250$ and can be overclocked to 4ghz if u wanted to. 165$ for case,the 60$ antec is good enough. 200$ for 1000 watt psu,you dont even need a 1000 watt psu unless you are running 3 to 4 video cards.
Hardmode,out of your 300 games what still runs on vista or 7?@Diamond said:
" I don't think 50 is very epic, but I don't think I have nearly 300. Probably have owned over that at one point or another, though. Why don't some of you dudes post some pics?
My PC game boxes from 2 different periods years ago (old pics, but the best I could find) :
my current physical PC game collection (I got rid of a lot of my old floppy games, and I can't be arsed to dig out the ones I still have, or most of my older CD PC games) Also have 64 games on Steam... :
PC game collections don't take very good pictures, do they? EDIT - CRAP, I just realized I left some of my games out of that pic, HOMM3, Max Payne 1, Unreal collection, City of Heroes, WoW, EQ2, Star Wars Galaxies, and Guild Wars... "
Iam jealous that you own my favorite game vampire bloodlines
I don't even care if it comes to pc , the lack of players and with a good ping is sad.I would only get it if it had cross play with the 360 but thats never gonna happen.
