Yes, you have matched close to a PS3's price tag with a heft amount of good stuff for your computer. Buy can it play PS3 games? NO, it cant. Can my PS3 play computer games? Yes. Can your PC, play bluray? No. Can my PS3 play bluray,dvd,cd (actually even hddvd with small modifications)? Yes. Does your computer also come with 4 usb ports, sd card readers, ipod dock port, etc? I doubt it. Maybe the usb ports part. Not to mention there was assembly required for your PC so that brings down it's worth just a tad. Dont get me wrong your PC sounds awsome, very efficient from the specs. It just simply does not stand up to a console. Have fun with that though :) |
I'm sorry.... you're post doesn't make much sense. The PC is suitable for not only gaming, but for many other things as well.
-Can it play PS3 games? No (though I suppose you'd probably be able to run emulators in the future). Can the PS3 can't play PC games? No, as you can't throw in the PC version of Call of Duty 4 and expect it to work (even with Linux, don't expect to play more modern games on it). What the PS3 and PC can do is play the games developed for them.
-Blu-Ray - If you're so inclined, buy a $150 Blu-ray disk drive on the current build and you're set. Heck, with the video card that can output through HDMI (like the one listed in the first post of the thread), you can hook up to an HDTV in no time.
-USB and media - My motherboard has like 8 USB ports in the back, my case has 2 front USB ports, a media card reader with one USB port, and two firewire ports
How does assembly factor into this? The whole point is that not only can you get PC parts cheaply, but you can buy your parts and assemble them yourself and not pay anywhere near $5,000 for a gaming PC (which people who hate PC gaming seem to believe is the only way to play games).
A rather poor argument especially since you seem to claim that you understand the specs of the computer listed in this thread, but then tripped and fell throughout the rest of your post.
