This is why I use HD consoles even for games that also come out on PC

Those requirement are not that high. You can fill them with around $400-$500.

The problem is that, around 90% of people lacks the knowledge needed to build their own PC's, so they are based on the prices of Dells, HPs, Alienwares, etc.

Branded PC's are WAY more expensive than custom ones.

And WTF with the GeForce 7800/Radeon X1300... that doesn't makes any sense.
