Actually Gaming in PC does not need to be expensive. This is what most of people made their mistake. If you want to game better buy PS3 for RM2500 or X360 for less than RM2000. I'm not a fan of console but this is fact. The last time i bought was GameBoy Advance hand held console. Actually people can build a good enough gaming PC for the price of X360 or PS3. You did not need Rm2500 card to play latest game, the only reason of the super expensive card is because of the resolutions.

Most of the PC Gamers played their game depending on their LCD native resolution or 1280*1024 at best.

The best graphic card money can buy for now will be the 8800GTS 320MB or 2900XT. 7900GS or X1950Pro is no slouch either. They can play most games without DX10 (bet least people do because of Vista crap) with no problem at all at high settings. So Quad Core CPU is way too much, for now Core2 6420 or 6600 is good enough for gaming PC.
I have no respect a person who bought super expensive PC then buy/downloaded pirated copy of their game or even their OS/applications claiming that games were expensive.

Well what u said about buying consoles for the general public is very true. That's the cheapest way to game on big screens with nice gfx.
What u said about the gaming PC is not true though. Gaming at 1280x1024 is really, really unbearable. Sooooooooo small lar the screen.

If we hafta game at 1280x1024 then it's much better to go the way of the console. For an unbeatable gaming experience on the PC it truly is a very deep n dark abyss for ur money to fall into.

Coz to experience games like nothing else, the only way is to buy the very best hardware around and play it on the biggest monitor. There's no if or but about it. Saying that 1280 reso is good enuf is unrealistic. It's like saying the Proton saloon is a good enuf car so why do we need cars like the Maybach.
As for this poll, just take out rm30k from ur bank, go to LYP n grab all the very best hardware. Only choice u hafta make is whether u want ATi Crossfire or Nvidia SLi and u haf a Dream Rig.
