If I had a PC that could handle it I'd get it on that too. I've never quite mastered using console controllers - oldschool mouse and keyboard gamer, me.

PC games will always be best
Depends on the game type. PC's are pretty pants for sports sims.
Anyhow what's the specs on this? Built my quite dated machine 3 years ago, wondering how it stands up to modern games.

Nice spec. I'm long overdue a PC upgrade, but it's about 4 years since I built my last one so my component knowledge is a little out of date, and I can't bring myself to trawl through the various forums to find out what's good at the moment. Tempted to get an iMac as that gives me a route into developing iOS apps, but the mobile video chipsets they use aren't really up to scratch for high-end gaming. And I don't look good in a black polo-neck.

If you want a good computer go to overclockers, they have good prices.

Aye, I've used them in the past, and I used to post on their forums a fair bit - a great resource.
I am moving to a Mac whenever I get around to finishing the room change. Also hoping my cousin gets her Uni place, so she can buy it at student discount.
