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...

1. Excludes sales tax
2. 8600GT won't run Mass Effect on medium settings or COD4 at a reasonable resolution.
3. No Optical drive included in listing to install the games ;)
4. No keyboardmousemonitor, bloke up top said a full PC.
5. Onboard sound, not really ideal these days for gaming.
6. Game controller (For Mass Effect?)
7. Speakers!!!?
8. Operating System?
I appreciate you taking the time to search that out though and it is pretty darn cheap much cheaper than I expected, and my points aren't a critisim of you, just saying that an Xbox 360 isn't the same price as a full PC as was posted by an unhelpful troll...

That has to be the best retort I've seen all week. Great job Burgles. As to mass effect I personaly didn't care for the game but congrats to your friend for finnaly getting a 360.
