[Flafurs] Gaming PC - $800

[Laphin Hyena]

It'll take alot more than $600 to throw down on an entire computer if you
intend on having a super gaming computer.  $500-$600 would be about how much
you'd pay for the strongest video card alone in now's time.  Go look at the
price for a Geforce8800 GTX, or a Geforce8800ULTRA.   Mind you this is not
including the new AMD and Intel Duo Processors and Motherboards that have
been released which are priced around $200 or more each.

(You can look all kinds of places, but a truly GREAT card that'll last for
years instead of months, mid-range cards, they all cost about the same)

You may could getaway with buying a cheaper one, but for what reason??  So
it can last 4 months before it dies out from technological upgrades and
you'd have to buy a new one??

Here's the part where my computer comes in (it's one of those computers).
Yeah, it's AGP and it's obsolete now as no more AGP cards are being created
anymore (so far).  But the card itself is strong enough to play Xbox360
games on high.. when there is a technological advancement, I'm sure all
you'd have to do is sacrifice some settings in order to continue playing
(medium settings or lower).  That's just how it goes..  and why I'm not
selling my computer for over $1000.  I'm willing to go down to $500.

I know my computer is AGP.  But it's the strongest AGP out there, and I play
Call of Duty 2, Battlefield 2 type games with no slow downs whatsoever on
high settings.  So until new games come out with some super major upgrade
that requires a New Console System entirely I doubt the card will be THAT
much 'obsolete' for some time to come.
