Ok first an foremost i've been a hardcore console gamer for 10+ years. I finally have decided to jump over into th PC gaming world. I don't really know alot about hardware, so ive been researching and learning alot from sites like this. One of the questions I have is about gaming on an HDTV. Is t possible without having to spend thousands of dollars?
I plan on building a rig to play FPS games like Crysis,Farcry2,etc. So would it be cheaper to buy a monitor or build an outrageous machine and just use my 47" lcd? I really dont want to buy a monitor because i'd save money, but I heard it would cost well over $2000 to play on my 47" lcd.
p.s. if it makes a difference my tv is a Phillips 47"lcd 1080p, could I build a rig for around a $1000 to play on it?
