Your views really are dated when you think that you need a $1500 PC to play games. Nowadays you can get a GOOD Gaming PC for only $400.

95% of PCs being sold are now under $1000, with most of them also under $750.

Today, $1000 will net you an EXCELLENT GAMING PC!!

My 2003 PC was almost able to play Starcraft 2, 2010's Biggest Game.

You should get yourself updated.

Where is this notion coming from that you can build a "good" gaming PC for 400?

Something like Radeon 5570 and 2 GB of value ram is considered a good PC now?

Sure it does the job on medium/high setting with no AA at 720p on most games (good luck with Crysis though) but I wouldn't call it "good".

Also, considering that you have 400 and don't have money to buy a monitor and have to game on your 42 inch plasma in the livingroom...no AA and 720p will be pretty annoying.

The truth is, you really need 700 bucks to get a comfortable gaming PC set up.
