You can build a basic gaming computer for $500 USD. Pretty much run the latest games at Low or medium settings. But hey, If you want to go further then go spend more money for High End Hardware.
And computer monitors can be better than TVs when it comes to display since they can have resolutions above 1080. And monitors are also cheaper than TV's.

Quote from: IxDarkDragon on May 29, 2011, 08:20:00 AMI spent $800 on mine and it plays every game on high settings. But I didnt need to buy an operating system, thats adds another $150 or so. And if you need a monitor add another $150. Plus a computer does way more than gaming.Quote from: SpikeyThorn on May 29, 2011, 06:25:36 AMQuote from: optical on May 28, 2011, 10:21:51 AMNot if you dont wanna buy a computer thats purpose built for gaming

My first choice would be PC, but if your going with a console get the ps3.

Quote from: Rallag7 on May 28, 2011, 11:15:54 AMwell, if you spend like $200 on a xbox or a ps3, plus the $50 games, and if you want a lot of games, that add up got be like $500, then you could get a decent desktop for that price, spartan is good at finding them.Quote from: optical on May 28, 2011, 10:21:51 AMDamm you optical and your advice that i cant follow because i cant afford to get a decent desktop...

Quote from: pilot10334 on May 31, 2011, 12:34:52 AMA gaming laptop is a waste of money. They are always 10x more expensive for half the power of a desktop PC(they are like macs lol) To play minecraft, a laptop might be fine but you will want a desktop for actual PC gaming. Plus you will save hundreds with a desktop instead of a laptop.

Quote from: pilot10334 on May 31, 2011, 01:46:49 AMMy GPU (graphics card) has an hdmi output. If your GPU doesnt have an hdmi output you can buy a simple DVI to hdmi output (DVI is just as clear as hdmi).
true but they lack hdmi outputs most of the time along with a decent screen
And computer monitors can be better than TVs when it comes to display since they can have resolutions above 1080. And monitors are also cheaper than TV's.
but the better resolution isnt worth it on a small screen
