Stuck between a rock and a hard place !!!!

Lo all,
Right here's the problem:

I have £400 to spend on either an HD TV/Monitor for my existing XP-M, DDR400 and X850 Pro rig and xbox 360, or do I upgrade my PC with the £400????

Dont game much on my PC since its too old, and I now have a 360, but do I upgrade to play new games or do I get a nice TV/monitor and use my 360 for the gaming

Help me decide guys.............

Thanks in advance

upgrading your computer to something half decent has never been so cheap... I would upgrade

Would help if you mentioned what TV/monitor setup you currently have.

Vote for the xbox here, you can play most new games out on the pc on the xbox too also you'll immediatly see the difference in the high def games.

The XBox/PS3 are cheaper and offer similar expeirences. If you are happy with your PC apart from gaming then a console is ideal.

Any more suggestions guys?

Personally if you game on the xbox360 I'd say go with the new HDTV/monitor route ...

The PC you have at the moment should be fine for while yet for normal non-gaming use unless you are doing something particularly heavy with it, (e.g. photoshop), but playing games on the xbox would be a lot better on the bigger screen and you could, (assuming you got an LCD TV), hook it up to the PC as well as a second monitor.
