You can buy a decent PC that can run Mass Effect andd Call of Duty 4 at the same price as a 360 now days. Plus he'd save $20 on the games themselves buying both CoD4 and ME for $50 (or less) rather than $60.

I know he won't but I thought I'd mention it.

 

 No you can't.

A PC up to running those games at medium settings is going to cost you 2.5-3x as much as a 360.

I challenge you to spec me a PC that will do what you say, or even near what you say.

 

You mean without as monitor, right? Well, here I go:

 


RAIDMAX ATX Mid-Size Case               $21.99

EXCELSTOR 80GB HDD (Oh well, it's more than most 360 SKUs)     $34.99

ASUS Micro-ATX AMD Mobo                 $48.99

EVGA 8600GT                                (with $20 mail-in-rebate) $49.99

ROSEWILL 550wt PSU                       $49.99

CORSAIR 2GB RAM                             $34.99

AMD Athlon 64X2 5000+ 2.6Ghz        $66.00

______________________________________________

TOTAL: $306.94

 

DOES NOT INCLUDE KEYBOARD/MOUSE (I assume you already have those...)

 

 

ALSO: You can put a couple more fans in the case for $10-$20 more, if you want...
