I agree, $400-$500.

In conclusion, you should be able to get somewhere between 1 and 10,000 dollars.shanelevy

:lol:

For that ur talking probably 300. Most computers u can buy these days are more powerful. Just because it is decent doesn't mean it will sell for a good amount. New computers for ur 600 price mark are all dual cores, 1-2gb of ram, 100+gb hdds and possibly integrated audio and video depending on where you're looking.

Also you have depreciation since ur talking like a year old system that's well over a year old in terms of technology. For that i'd say 300 tops

Yeah this is pretty ****ing lame... My computer is only like 7 months old the only old part in this machine is the processor. I've spent over $1000 this year upgrading it and now its only worth the cost of a video card??? lol this will be the last desktop i'll buy.DarkMasterX13

You make me not want to become a PC gamer. :? I think I'll just play it safe and get a laptop and 360 for $900. That should last me for 5-6 years without upgrading.

I Agree... I already got my 360, and going to buy my laptop 2morrow.

Consoles = Low cost gaming, lolz I sold my original xbox for like 250 Bucks thats more than half the cost I paid for it...

Computers = Internet/Music/Video/Documents

Basicly you buy a computer and it gets outdated in a year (unless you pay like 2-3 Thousand Bucks for one.)

With consoles you just wait for a price cut, Buy, rent games and buy the ones you like... MONEY SAVED!!!

:shock: You did poor shopping man. Even early this year, it shouldn't have cost you that much just for an upgrade. Early this year, you could have built a new C2D rig for that much that would have been much better. That is why a lot of people don't do PC gaming - it is easy to get ripped off on computer parts. My grandpa is constantly spending way to much on parts. He bought a $115 CPU for $215 at a local store!

That PC is well worth $1000. It just depends where you sell it. In a store, you can look at $2000 for a "gaming" rig with an "awesome" 7600GS and a 1.8GHz C2D. It may not seem like much to the people on this forum, but you could make out like a bandit and still give some poor person an awesome deal. People on this forum probably wouldn't spend $300 on it. It is all about where you sell it!

With the exception of poorly optimized games, a computer will be able to last as long as its competing consoles because the consoles will bottleneck the games' requirements. A computer should last an easy 4yr with a graphic card upgrade in there.

EDIT: That is including games that come out after the 360 is outdated - it might not play them higher than med, but it could play them. If a 360 can hold you for that lon, a PC could hold you for like 7yrs.

Give me an example of a console bottlenecking a game that isn't ported and made exclusively for that conosles at the end of it's life cycle?

What I meant is that a game made for a console can't have higher requirements than the console can meet. If you have a PC batter than the console, you will be able to play all of that console's games ported to the PC as long as they are not a poor port. It is pretty simple really.
