wow, I need to go get a GTX now. My card has really shown it's age, and with all these new awesome PC games coming out, I gotta pounce on this.

You can find me on facebook as Markus Van Rijn, if you friend me just mention you're from VGchartz and who you are here.

Thanks to all of this competition the prices may eventually get to the point that will dispel the myth of having to spend several thousand dollars for a good gaming PC.

well, you already said it: it is a myth! you can build an amazing (not good, but amazing) gaming pc for 1500 bucks. It is just a combination of a lack of consumer savy and the incessant need of those with money to spend 5k on a system and then convince everyone that thier computer sucks.

Games I am looking forward to:

PC: Diablo III, Fallout III, Stacraft 2, Spore, Empire: Total War, American McGee's Grimm

360: Madden 09, Fable 2, Left 4 Dead, Blood Bowl
