I play consoles but i never played games on the pc or learned how they do it. Do you buy a controller or just play keyboard? How do you know if your system is powerful enough for certain games? Im totally new so a full explenation would be helpful. peace
Thanks for the response but im still quite confused. Can you explain to me what this means: "Processor: AMD Athlon(tm) 64X2 Dual Core Processor 4200+, MMX, 3DNow (2 CPUs)"

I have the PS3 (80GB MGS4 bundle) and it's beside my desk collecting dust. I plan to clean it so I can continue playing the Killzone series - Killzone 3 to be exact. Now why it's been collecting dust is b/c I mainly use my PC as my entertainment system, especially my gaming PC, will destroy any and all graphics on consoles. I'm not getting arrogant, this is the absolute truth in the gaming community!
Building a gaming PC has its rewards ::
+ You gain a lot of experience.
+ You know what YOU, the gamer, want in YOUR PC, and not some co. giving you 2 or 3 options.
+ Your gaming PC is unique to your tastes.
Downsides in owning a gaming PC ::
- You need to keep informed of what's going on in the PC gaming world (has it's - as well as its +).
- If a game comes out on all platforms - PS3/360/PC - your PC hardware can easily get old if you haven't upgraded or keep it in check. All games will work for consoles, but it's not the same for PCs b/c of low RAM, CPU, or GPU (graphics card) which is the most changed hardware.
- Exclusive games only on PS3/360 leaving PC gamers out unless they own a console.
Most games are hugely targeted for console users, and the PC gamers are left out unless if they have a console. Add to this, PC games can highly be developed with stunning graphics like DX10/DX11, but since the same game is also on consoles, PC gamers most of the time cannot use their PC to its full potential but are stuck using DX9 to balance out all platforms. But you can get around this by mods. An example is Crysis (PC exclusive). It's the de facto of benchmarks for most PC gamers. If your PC can run it, it'll run probably anything you throw at it.
Since I have been using PCs mostly, mouse/keyboard is second nature to me. There has been a "Berlin wall" built up among PC and console gamers shouting m/k is better vs. controllers are better. I have seen controller users very talented so I won't judge. For most PC games, controllers can be used like the 360 controller. If you dislike the button configurations, you can download an app. to reconfigure the controller buttons to your taste. But m/k is easy to learn and adapt.
Building a gaming PC's easy; you need to make sure all the motherboard, CPU, and RAM are compatible with each other and where to connect. If you can install batteries in a remote control knowing where +/- goes, you can build it. Deciding what to buy can be intimidating b/c there's a huge library.

For $500, it's not impossible to build yourself a decent gaming PC. Add maybe $200 you can build a powerful system. More is better, but we all have our limits.
It all depends on you. Since the majority of games are on consoles, it wouldn't make sense to build a gaming PC and use it to play only a few games. Dividing your time between all three platforms may be tedious. One thing's for sure - I regret buying the PS3 after I discovered my love of gaming on PC (but some games are exclusives like Killzone 3 no way around that so in a way I'm glad I bought the PS3).

Do you think PC gaming is dying?
Alan
Once the ps4 and xbox 720/whatever comes out, do you think PC gaming is going to decline?
Im a console gamer at the minute but really interested in becoming a PC gamer, I would just like to know your thoughts on the PC gaming industry.
Thanks!
