PC Gaming Cheaper Than a Playstation 3?

I hear it almost everyday on forums, blogs, gaming related websites, etc.: PC gaming is just too expensive to survive. I mean have you seen those Alienware and Dell gaming desktops and laptops? Some of those machine can get up to 1500 dollars or more. It can get quite insane. Fear not, though, gaming on a PC is not actually that expensive. In fact, if you (or a friend) know what you are doing and what to buy you can get a really decent gaming PC for cheaper than a bottom of the line Playstation 3. This is definitely something that you'll probably be interested in as about 98% of all MMORPGs are on the PC.

Now, before I start with the list there are a few things that you need to know before hand:

1. This computer will allow you to play any MMORPG on the market right now. I guarentee it.

2. Somethings list you may or may not want. This will change the pricing structure.

3. I did not include a monitor. Do HDTVs come with a PS3? No.

4. I did not include speakers, a mouse, or a keyboard. Most people (especially gamers) have these things lying around somewhere. If not you can nab all three for about 20 dollars total.

5. I did not include an OS. Windows XP can be found on eBay for around 60 dollars, or you can get Linux for free.

6. Building a PC can be hard, but it's also a lot of fun. If you don't feel up to the task, any small-time computer repair shop will build it for you for about 20 Dollars. DO NOT GO TO GEEK SQUAD!

7.The above picture is NOT the PC I am "building" for you right now.

As you can see there are a few conditions here. If you add the OS, keyboard, speakers, and mouse it will put you over the low-end PS3 price. It kind of sucks, but it's still not as expensive as what you already probably thought it was. Also, this PC will be faster and more powerful than about 90% (if not more) of the namebrand (Dell, HP, etc.) PCs you find at your local Best Buy. Ok, onto the PC!
