Express Action Sports

Okay, I used to have an xbox 360 but it already crapped out on me because of the 3rl and the warranty’s already done. I don’t know if i should buy another one or switch to a gaming pc. I have a ps3, a wii, a psp, an nds and a laptop. So please help me decide.

The games I like are sports, FPS and action games like splinter cell or mgs 4.

Here are the Specs of the gaming rig i’m planning to buy:

Intel Core 2 Quad Q8300
MSI G41M4-F G41
1TB Western Digital SATA
4GB DDR3
INNO3D 9600GT PCIE 1gb DDR3 256Bytes

Please justify your answers. Thanks!

Ramirez!’s uninformed and incorrect opinion aside…

PCs are better gaming platforms…especially if you know what you’re doing and are careful about how you use the computer. They also last *much* longer.
Since you’re planning to go nVidia for the graphics solution, go with a 285 instead of the modded 8600. You seem to be planning to spend for decently high-end components, but you cheaped-out on the low-end graphics processor (which is about the same quality as those found in the consoles…)

To help you decide…EA has taken all of it’s Sports games off PC and gone strictly console, so, since you have the PS3, you have that covered.
Since you like shooters…shooters are actually *better* on PC – the game itself is more challenging (no "snap-to" aiming like on the consoles), so you actually become more skillful. The forthcoming Crysis 2 is a perfect example…the dev stated that the only way they could actually bring the game to the console was because they limited the graphics by putting it in the concrete jungle of NY…had they left it on the island where it started, the consoles would have never been able to handle it with decent graphics at a playable framerate.

Once you’re used to using the keyboard and mouse, you’ll generally find it more satisfying and easier.

Good Luck!

i have dell gx270 with 3.2ghz processor, 1.5gb ram, 96vga card. Plz any good graphic action,sports,racing games? Thanks

Mirrors edge is incredible, great way to show off your GPU, get steam too, I recommend the half life series, the portal series and the splinter cell series too!
