I would have put in a vote for a quality home theater setup for your computer, but that wasn't an option. So instead I put in a vote for the PS3. You're computer is plenty beefy enough already anyway don't you think?


There are a ton of games I can't run with smooth 60fps performance, which is what I want. I don't know what you mean exactly by home theatre setup but if you mean sound I use headphones and have no desire to do otherwise. I do have a large HDTV and home theatre setup for movies and such in the living room, but I don't often use it for games.

I picked 5870 - should be getting one myself when everything for my rig is available.

On the downside, 5870 cards are very hard to come by atm. Maybe better after Christmas though.

Another 5870 vote. It's at a decent price point, if hard to find. Awesome card, I love mine.

Question: What is your current console (if any)? If so, which one.

Another note, as if this post the current vote is tied with PS3 and 5870...

I have a 360 but never use it, it's mostly for my girl who plays Live Arcade games on it a lot. I use it from time to time for exclusives but not very often, the last game I played on it was Splosion Man in the summer.

I had a PS3 before, I bought it mostly for Blu-Ray. At some point I got another Blu-Ray player though and never used the PS3, I found Little Big Planet and some other exclusives very dissapointing and when the slim was announced I sold it due to some money issues and assumed I would buy the slim later to get my PS3 back. January could be that time, and with Uncharted 2 and Demon's Souls out is is tempting, but at the end of the day I know I will still spend 90% of my gaming time on PC and would like smoother performance there.
