If you want a decent gaming computer, just tubmail me and I can build you one through NewEgg. I’ve made one for about 650 that was able to run DAO at high settings at 40+ FPS the entire time (running on a 5770), so if you really want one it’s not that hard. You can also build one that has dual gtx 295’s all watercooled to hell with an overclocked i7 that could cost you 2500+ easy, but then again, that’s bleeding edge, and even with that, unless you’re a mondo nerd like me you wouldn’t need to build a new rig once a year like I do.

A game for a PC averages $50 and usually gets a large amount of DLC free (L4D2 being a prime example). Almost all PC games are cracked within the first week they come out, if it’s a popular game, or sometimes they’re leaked in advance, like Bioshock 2 and Mbum Effect 2 recently.

I’d put it in order of New iPhone that’s coming out in summer > Gaming computer > Xbox 360, unless you’re actually a big gamer, then it’d be gaming computer first I guess.
