Damn, I didn't realize the GTX 680 was that expensive. I guess the one I saw for $400 must've actually been on sale.

Windows 8 is $90 from Tiger Direct, btw. There's the cost of the PSU as well... I dunno how many extra case fans you need for a 680, but, from what I've seen, they're pretty cheap($9). Cases practically always seem to be on sale, too, and a wired 360 controller will set you back around $20. 

$1000 isn't all that much to spend for a quality PC, imo.

The most cheaper GTX 680 I found in www.newegg.com was $460... the avg is $500.

I think you can make a PC with $800 to show to tie with PS4 but to go over that it needed to spend a a little more... so over $1000 is just a just a way to say.

I guess, if gaming is your main concern, then consoles do offer the best value, for now. If you wanna do other stuff, though,(and you don't already have a capable system) getting a high-end PC instead is the way to go. And, of course, there're the indie games, mods, and the promise of Half-life 3. Easily worth the extra $500+ dollars. ;)
