You don't need to spent $3000 on an Alienware to get a gaming PC. I built my PC last christmas for $750, and it can handle any computer game easily. Anyway, I'm really split between PC and consoles... Both are really great, so it just depends on what kinds of games you like. If you like FPS's or RTS's, then PC is best, but for sports, racing, rpg, and action games, consoles are best.
