The key with PC's is not to buy one off the shelf by walking into PC World, cos they charge the earth. There are endless companies online where you pick and choose what you want in your 'rig' and they build it for you, with a little bit of research you will have a machine that is far superior to any console, no matter what anyone says.

I used http://www.dinopc.com/shop/pc/gaming-pcs-computers.asp to put mine together.

As of this moment I can play any game you care to mention on high-max settings and that will be the same for at least the next 5 years. After that without touching anything I will be able to play new games at still an acceptable level.

Console gaming is so much more expensive, its just the easy way of doing it as it involves no research whatsoever, you just buy the shiny box and away you go. Thats what the companies rely on. Laziness.

Wow, you're calling me lazy and insinuating I'm stupid. You're doing wonders for dispelling the PC Gamer stereotype.

Don't be such a drama queen, I was not calling you individually lazy at all. I was saying the attitude where people buy consoles because its easy is lazy.
