You could get a PC that easily outperforms a 360 or PS3 for £250-300.

The 'current-gen' consoles are so far behind current PC tech it's not even funny.


Thats because most console gamers think Dell or Currys are the be all and end all of PC's. I sorted my mate a pc out from Overclockers. Just short of £300 and runs every First Person Shooter on full settings and gets 70FPS when Frapsing.

I built my own and its spec is scary, but then I play MMORPGS and run 10 accounts so I need the extra spec.

Really? Memory alone would cost £100, mouse and keyboard another £50. And that's before you start with a processor, graphics card, sound card, box, power lead etc. I'll admit I'm not well up on gaming PCs, but surely that's stretching it a bit? :D

How long would said PC be able to keep up? I'll bet it wouldn't do the 8 years the Xbox 360 has been out for?

No way you can get a high performance machine for £300. The graphics card alone would cost that. Btw 10 mmorpg accounts? You do know there's an outside world right? :lol:

Happy with my Xbox. £150 and it's lasted me 5 years. Don't get near that lifetime out of a PC so itll do just fine for me.

£300? Surely there's some second hand parts in there? My graphics card cost more! :shock: ...the power supply is more than half of that too! (although paying more for modular and higher efficiency is well worth it)

With overclocking you'd probably be good for 4-5 years at maximum settings but then you'd need to tone down the graphic settings.

That £300 computer...probably a couple of years before the graphics card starts to bottleneck the system.

The best bit about a PC is how easy it is to swap out parts etc when they aren't good enough anymore.

PC's are boring.

I like to play FIFA in the living room with my mates on a massive 50 inch TV. This is why people buy consoles and this is why they're more popular. Developers don't care about PC gaming.

I have both a decent spec PC which cost about 300 quid with a mid range card and an xbox, and the performance of the pc craps all over my xbox, I can still play it on my TV through the HDMI out on my pc and I can use my xbox controllers aswell so I think the whole " I can play on my tv in the living room" thing is something that is slowly becoming less and less exclusive to consoles. Of course a console at the moment is easier because theres no waiting to boot up etc and its a bit more "portable" but as far as performance goes I don't think you can beat a pc. I also like the odd muck about on MS flight simulator which would be awful on a console for so many reasons.

My pc cost around £330 which is an amd Phenom x6 3.2 ghz processor with 12 gb ram :lol: overkill maybe but meh!.. , I haven't decided to overclock it yet as I haven't felt the need. I used my hard drives out of my old pc to save a a few quid and put in a radeon 6850 card which is a decent mid range card.

trust me, you can get systems (minus monitor) that out perform the xbox/PS by a large margin for around £300

There are plenty of prebuilt on overclockers.

That's the main reason I wouldn't invest in a gaming standard PC and keep it updated. I think the fact that everything is in one place on a console and you don't have to fuss about installing stuff and updating drivers to get the game to work just makes it a much simpler experience.
