Mine was just under a grand when I bought it, including M&KB (had an offer on MW3 branded GK104 and G9x so it all cost me $60) . RAM was a lot cheaper then so $80 got me the 16 Gigs. I bought the 2nd 660 Ti when the 700 series was already out so it cost me only $170 brand new. After the initial purchase I added some fans and bought a mechanical keyboard so including all the small upgrades and peripherals I've added, it would be around $1,300. I use my HDTV as a monitor and it's pr...
I have a pretty decently powerful PC myself (i5 3570k, 2x 660ti SLI, 16 GBs of ram) but most of the games I play do not need a lot of power. Torchlight 2, Path of Exile, Nidhoog, Civ 5, Divinity OS and Shadowrun Dragonfall are not exactly graphical, Crysis-like powerhouses.
But here's what PC offers me in terms of gaming BEYOND what a console can. The game I bough 7 years ago will still work on my PC 7 years from now. If I ever want to visit some of my favorite old games ...
Give it time...
Oh boy! I really wish you would get a bubble up for Intelligent comment. That would be pretty funny.

HAHAHA! Nice catch. That's funny. In fact dogdirt, I think YOUR funny!
DIOS MIO!
That's absolutely true. Today I was playing L4D2 with some old friends from Uni and then we switched to Titanfall. After that I played some Super Metroid while listening to a Podcast. I'm now about to play some Rocksmith 2014 to practice some Mastodon and later, I might play some Divinity Original Sin. All of that on a single platform. PC gaming is lovely.
This is pretty exciting!
Damn I REALLY want another Fight Night game.
As a PC gamer myself, all I really have to say is... meh.
Yeah cause you can't connect a PC to a Plasma...
"Requiring a blisteringly fast 90MHz Pentium processor and a staggering 16MB of RAM, StarCraft is hands down the most demanding of the games on the list."
Heuheuheu. So powerful.
This article reads like it was translated by Google.
The thing is that they WILL be releasing Destiny remastered in March 2015. It's called the PC version.
Have been playing the beta. Wish I didn't have to wait till March 2015 for the PC version.
Hopefully by the time this game launches, the GPU tech will be advanced enough so that a Mid range video card can get it close to maxed out.
Heuheuheu...

Or Downscaling from 4k on a 52" HDTV. But alas, ignorance is bliss. Keep being blissful, masterfox.

For $800? Hell and yes, you can get you a PC that blows away the new consoles in every gaming category. The amount of games available on a PC is staggering.
Think of this. You can play most of the big budget yearly Triple A games (CoD, Battlefield, AC, Arkham Series), the new IPs like Titanfall, Evolve, No Man's Sky, Shadow of Mordor on a single system and get the best version of the game.
I don't mean the best version in g...
