What is a Gaming PC?

My view of a gaming PC means:
-Decent GPU i.e something costing £150+ (and I don't mean everyone >£150 is great, I mean it will be the best in it's price bracket and cost that much)
-3GB+ RAM
-2.5GHZ C2D or better
-Flashy mouse

Arguably a case for adding 120hz+ monitor to that list but not necessarily a part of the PC per se.

Obviously the above is nothing special and incorporates people with older hardware - if I was buying a gaming PC today it would be something in line with the spec iv-tecman posted above.
 
Any pc that is mainly used for gaming. And it doesn't have to be expensive or latest tech.

a old style dual core is more than adequate.
 
I guess i see a gaming PC as one that is built with gaming in mind I'E

Decent CPU
Decent Graphics
A decent OC is always good to
Decent Screen
Good Mouse/Keyboard/Joypad,stick, etc
Decent sound card and Speakers

While any PC can play games, i would not consider it a gaming PC unless it's built with Gaming in mind as good PC gaming (As in high settings and framerates) requires a good PC regardless of if you play strategy or FPS, games always seem to have high requirements to run with high graphics settings and framerates
