PCs as being used as a gaming rig will continue to get cheaper, as state of the art PCs continue to get more powerful than console systems. I have an old Dell PC that was given to me from 2006 with an intel 2.2 GHZ core duo, with 2 Nvidia cards in SLI that still plays most of the latest PC games at playable frame rates. Low to medium settings of course, but low PC settings are at least equal or a little better than console graphics in most cases. Also got an emachines that is similar but with an AMD CPU and only one GPU. The Dell performs better with its GPUs in SLI. My cousin gave me the Dell, and he would dual boot WoW with it on 2 monitors, and get no lag. He was seriously going to throw this PC away, so I offered to take it. Absolutely nothing wrong with it.
