Deus Ex and Half Life 2 are IMO the greatest shooters of all time - they were the DNA that all games to present have been built on.

I would take a look at sharkyextreme.com - they have a buyer's guide that specs out various recommended gaming systems and I believe where to buy components as well. I would also seriously consider saving your money and just getting a console to game on. With rare exception, every top-shelf...

If you are interested in playing big budget action games like shooters or RPG's, then no, I wouldn't upgrade. Almost all of those types of games that historically were PC only are now coming out on consoles either first, or even worse, exclusively. You might consider saving the upgrade money...

LOL - I like the reference. I guess we'll see but I would love to have a new, updated, Mechwarrior game.

Consoles provide a decent gaming experience at a fraction of the cost of a real gaming rig. Although the Op speculates that since they are basically a PC in a box, that soon, there will be little difference. I disagree that this is likely to happen because their main advantage is their nature...
