Prices are a bit high this week so wait till they lower and you'll save about an additional $40.

Yep can play any game you throw at it.
 

i cant find the raideon on amazon do you know any other graphic cards in the same price range and quality
 
Uhm you lost me dude which one isit did you sell the xbox or what?

If I Were you I would hold on to the xbox i own both one and 360

IF you want to pawn your xbox to pay for a build go ahead but be warned there are some game titles on the market that are exclusive to consoles.

But on the other hand build a pc that meets your needs and budget

Im not from the states so i cant really say bt a rough conversion of that money into my currency (ZAR) can get you a decent system like
Core i3
8gb DDR3 memory
Nvidia Geforce T150i
intel trinity valley socket 1155
XGR 700w psu
1TB Hitachi HDD (sata)

if its a custom build the options are limitless

hold on to the xbox you wont have to upgrade it to play new titles like a pc has to meet requirement
cia0 hope this helps
 

i did sell it but i havent shipped it out yet
