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...

 

Subtracting the ATX case and OS which I already have, I'm looking at spending between $500 and $550 (including S&H and taxes) on my new PC hardware. I've selected a 500GB Hard Drive, 2.2GHz Dual Core Processor, GeForce 8800 GS, 2GB DDR2 RAM, a reliable 500W power supply, a good CPU fan, a good DVD burner, and a mother board to support it all. My PC should easily outperform the PS3 in any game and provide more storage and superior multimedia capabilities. I haven't checked the prices on Newegg yet, I might be able to shave $50 or more off of the price.
