I have been a PC gamer every since I have knee high to an Apple IIe. Though, I have owned just about every console, my heart always goes back to the PC. Great gaming moments were on the PC. My first LAN party, my first RTS, my first MMO experience, and my first pwning moment were always happy times for me. Now, I heard about how PC gaming maybe dying while console will overtake them. PC gaming is also seen as a luxury for those who can afford the finest components and can tune them to perfection. Personally PC gaming is nowhere near dead. Sure, it's in a slump with piracy on the rise, yet no obese viking lady is belting out a tune . These is no truer experience to playing an FPS on a PC. An RTS on a console is a bastardization of something I hold dear plus it's never a good idea. Sure, not everyone can buy or build at 5k PC and frankly I'm not one of those people. I just want to play a game with a little eye candy and not fear that my PC will blow up under the strain. I wonder what you D-toider out there think about PC gaming as a luxury. Do you have a huge-ass rig or just something to play Peggle on (that game is crack in game form)?

You dont need 5000 bucks to have a super nice, fast computer that can play the latest games. My computer would be considered a "top of the line gaming PC', and it cost me 1200 dollars. I could have gone cheaper and made it for under 1000, but I splurged on Hard Drive space (1.5 TB FTW)
Not complaining though, everything I want to play runs marginally well, and my life experience with PC gaming has definitely taught me patience and being happy with what I got.
Also, in before Kyousuke Nanbu rants.
i'm a high-end guy, so i'll spend around $700 for just an upgrade (cpu, gpu and ram)
