Awesome gaming PC?

[Anaximander]

Lol it doesn't have to do with fanboy-ism of neither PC nor consoles, it's just basic common sense. I don't have any of the consoles.

There's no sense in getting a good system now, when in 6 months a new DirectX will most likely be released (which might be a quantum leap forward to cover the gap from current gen to next gen gaming) that could render your current new-ish hardware obsolete within the next year or two.

Limitations to shader models within DirectX pose a "hard" cap - for instance, Shader 3.0 games simply won't open or run on Shader 2.0 systems no matter how low you configure your settings. That's why it's a good idea to watch out for given standards within the next DirectX if you want to make a (somewhat) lasting investment, rather than having to run out and get new stuff in a year from now.
