Intel G33FB Mobo
XFX GeForce 8800 GTS 320MB Video Card Fatal1ty Edition

Corsair VX550W 550-Watt PSU
Corsair TWINX 2048MB PC6400 DDR2 (XMS2)
2* 250GB Seagate SATA 2 HDD

WILL THIS PC CONFIG BE BETTER THAN THE PS3 FOR GAMING???

Please help..

Get a PS3 unless you really want Gears of War or Crysis

Assuming Blu Ray is not an issue...

Can you name 3 ps3 games out right now, that you really, really want to play?

If not, then you might as well upgrade your PC.

With those specs i'd kick PS3's arse. Although i'm currently considering a PS3/PC upgrade i'm going for PS3 as i'm on an AGP system and require a FULL ugrade which is out of the question at the moment.

With those specs upgrade your PC.

------------------------------ Core i7 920 OC 3.6Ghz
Gainward GTX295
Corsair 1000W
12Gb OCZ Reaper DDR3 1500

go for the PC but wait for the 8800GT it will be 250$ and will outperform the 8800gts :)

like others pointed out, those sys specs will pwn a ps3 several times over. however, unless you're a true gaming enthusiast, stick with the ps3. if you get a new pc, don't think you can just dole out the money and be done with it. newer, more resource-hungry games are always being developed and you'll find yourself truly questioning whether or not the entertainment from gaming is truly worth it. it's worth it to me, though.
