Thanks all for the advice. I can understand where you all are coming from and thus the recommendation are from diff perspective. I personally find it helpful.

The final conclusion I am getting is that, 2k pc will be near entry level and wont be sufficient for maximum effect. Being a hard headed dingbat I am, for ppl like us its either Go big or go home. I guess with 2k budget, can go home d. Haha. I will just stick to my konsoul and get on with it.

Happy heavenswards to all. Havent been playing much, but I find Ishgard and the sea of clouds a beautiful place with breathtaking ambience. Especially a good PC. Not forgetting the tranquilizing ost. Cheers.
