There are some very good prebuilds out there at a good price. You can find one that you won't have to worry about upgrades for sometime to come. Personally, I am happy gaming at 1920x1080. I have both a PS2 & PS3 and some games I prefer on that format and others, on the PC. That is a Controller vs Mouse and keyboard thing and just depends on the game. With the good Prebuilds out there and the cost of building these days, it is probably just as well to just buy one and then sometime down the road if you feel the need to, just upgrade. It used to be that you could build a really great rig for a lot less than you could purchase one of a lesser quality. Not so much any more with the "Boutique" stuff hitting the open market and at good prices that will probably become the way to go. I would say this though. I used to moderate a Forum, PCWorld.com while it was still up. I used to see horror stories about CyberPower PCs. I won't recommend them.
