i7 2600k

16 GB RAM

580 GTX (updating soon)

HP ZR30W 2560x1600 + 3 24" Dell + 55" Samsung LCD on the wall behind me, hooked up via HDMI for 'lazy gaming' via 360 controller + couch

Razer Nostromo + naga + death adder

Klipsch speakers (great sound)

Currently blowing away PS4 and Xbone. In the next few months I'll update the video card to a 780 / AMD equivalent, or see if I can stretch it til the next round.

270 Steam games + Wii + NES + SNES + Genesis + PS1 / 2 legal emulation

(and a chair superior to any couch any of you own :)

Meanwhile, PC will be the definitive version + community!

Consoles in 2005 had something to debate about regarding each other and PC.

Now the X1 is just a fail, the PS4 is the console to get, and real gaming happens on PC.

There is nothing left to debate! PC > PS4 > all else Only idiots disagree.

Awesome, can't wait.

I LOVED Wing Commander / Freespace. I'll definitely be on 4k by 2015, so this will be a new realm really.

(and meanwhile, consoles are struggling to do '900p' LOL)

Looks amazing!

Precision finally makes it's way into a controller.

I'll get a PS4 for Netflix / streaming.

IF there is an exclusive worth playing, obviously I'll try it.  (RDR was the only one last gen)

But PC for everything else.

If this is close to the precision I get with m/kb then I may just start gaming from my couch occasionally!

there is still the fact that consoles have standard hardware while devs would be wasting their time by coding to the metal on certain PC hardware when there are a gazillion of different set-ups out there. DirectX already provides some low level extensions but nobody gives a fk.

At the end of the day most games on PC are nothing but console ports, so we all are essentially playing the same game even if you have 20GB of super fast ram and a $1000 card. All you get for burning all that cash is slightly higher res and frame-rate.

and better graphics, and multiple displays, and multitasking, and more games, and cheaper games

The assets will be near identical, multiple displays? I'd rather just have one great one.  Consoles multitask to and the best games often never come to PC.

What games?

Linear TPS 'bro' shooters?

IMO the best games are either multiplat or not on console!

Nice, a controller that might actually be precise enough to use.

Where's GTA IV and Dark Souls for the PC?.

So, the thread is a complete flop?.

Also worthy to note:

GTAIV and Dark Souls PC are "next gen" experiences.  You can't even compare them to the shoddy consoles.

In every possible way they are vastly superior.  And that is true of almost ALL multiplats.
