PC games FTW.
And a PC can be CHEAPER than a $600 PS3 :p
Here is my sub $600 PC that can run anything out there.
Prices are current newegg prices.
$41 Transcend JETRAM 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800
$10 ASUS Beige 52X CD-ROM (No need for a DVD drive because of Steam...but a DVD drive is like $10 more if I had wanted it)
$80 Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST3500320AS 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s
$80 DFI INFINITY P965-S LGA 775 Intel P965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard (discontinued now actually)
$125 Intel Core 2 Duo E4600 Allendale 2.4GHz 2MB L2 Cache (overclocked to 2.9 GHz on stock cooler)
$38 Rosewill Stallion Series Single 12cm Ball Bearing Fan RD400-2-SB ATX V2.2 400W Power Supply
$22 Rosewill R230-P-BK Black 0.5mm SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
$120 GeForce 8800 GT 512MB 256-bit GDDR3
Grand total is.....$516
I don't play games on this system though. I use it mainly to store / stream media to my PS3 and backup data from my main PC.
