in my country:
average Intel Core 2 Quad low end processor price - 300$
average GeForce 9800GT graphics card form good company - 150-170$
Windows Vista 64bit Home Basic Edition - 120$
you pay 600$ just for processor, graphic card and OEM - add to that mainboard, ram, monitor and all the other stuff and you have 1200-1300+$

my brand new 360+22''monitor+14 new and 2 used games+1 additional controller = 900$ and i still have that 1 month Gold membership i received with a console.

Dude, PC gaming is cheaper than Xbox 360 gaming. Just look at what you can build for less than $550 and $400:
