Again, someone build a PC with $400 that outperforms the PS3, that's the only fair comparison, I know it can be done but i'm curious of the combinations, i won't do it because my gaming rig cost wayyyyy more (too much power there)...

That's not a fair comparison. A $400 PC needs to be built. If it's built that means you are buying the parts at a premium. They aren't being sold to you at a loss. The PS3 is sold at a loss until we are told otherwise.

 

 

Fair enough... let's say the price is $500 to $600, What combination of Motherboard, Processor, RAM, Video Card, Sound Card, Blu-Ray player and Hard Drive (With a legal version of Windows), outperforms the PS3... I'm checking the combinations i can do, because it's interesting to do that with a limited budget...

 

For 480 dollars(+25 shipping) you can buy a prebuilt and videocard that vastly outperforms the PS3, and comes with Windows Vista on it.

 

Acer sells a customizable 3ghz equivelant rather awesome duel core, 3 gigs of ram, 300gb hd, DVD drive, and Vista pro for 400 bucks.

As for the card, here ya go:

With that setup, you're playing Crysis on high, with lesser resolutions, granted, but it's still quite a machine.

You can play Crysis at medium on a medium resolution setting with an ATI 3650, and it only sucks up 45w of power, even under stress, so you could stick it in any rig with a 250w power supply and it'd still at least equal the PS3, assuming ram and CPU are up to snuff.
