I have a decision to make - do i upgrade my pc or buy a ps3?
At the moment i have the following spec;
7800gtx
3.2 ghz pentium 4 dual core
2gb ddr2 ram
320gb hd
I am thinking of buying an intel core duo e6600. What mobo would be best for that? I could get theae parts along with an external hd for my videos, a new case and psu, gaming mouse, keyboard, headphones and some games for the price of a ps3....
i would then get a pretty good dx10 card [£200 or so] and vista around xmas. If i was to do this would i have a decent enough gaming pc for the next 18mths or so? or would i be better off with a ps3?

Tricky - I've just got back from my brother's place who has a PS3 and Samsung 1080p LCD TV - and wow!
Tiger Woods looked a bit cr@p though.
I've just bought an 8800GTS and I'm beginning to wish I'd spent the cash on a 360 or put it towards a PS3.

I am getting a nice 37inch hdtv as for downstairs, and of course the ps3 plays blu-ray.....

that seems to be a pretty nice pc to run DX9 games on a pretty high setting. and also i would get an xbox 360 instead of a ps3, the xbox 360 elite will be out near the summer which is pretty nice.

Do u mean the set-up i have now? It does play fear, oblivion etc pretty well.
