I keep hearing reports that PC gaming is dead. Well I thought I would voice my little opinion on the subject. I personally believe that PC gaming is not dead and will never be dead. Everyone always says that PC gaming is dead because every 2 to 3 years you have to upgrade or buy another system. This I will say is true, but only if you bought your computer/laptop from Best Buy, Circuity City, Wal-Mart , etc... This places do not support gaming PCs. In that statement I mean that they are for average users and one who might play a game or two but never a true gamer.
I built a desktop system around 5+ years ago I believe. Now at the time I didn't have all the money I wanted so I had to get what I could afford. I bought an ASUS a79n8xe board, an AMD 1800+ , 1 GIG of memory. Don't remember the video card or the sound card right now. I will update later once I can get home to look at my specs. Anyway the processor is about an 1.8 I believe again will update. I wanted Bio Shock game but atlas the minimum requirements was 1.8 and I didn't want to strain or overclock my processor.
So when building a true gamer machine you can push 5 plus years easily. Now that is a long system in computer terms. Everybody talks about once who buy it, it is already out of date. When building they have to upgrade to make yours out of date.
Now lets talk games. There are games that are great for console and PCs. Like Real Time Strategy games. These are made truly for the PC. I don't ever remember seeing Age of Empires III for the PS3 of XBOX360. That's because it is way to hard to use a joystick to play that game. Like WOW (world of warcraft) or FPS (First person shooters). These games show how great the PC system is. Like me I enjoy playing GTA on the console. Let's face it Final Fantasy is just great on the console. I'm sorry but it is. So each system is great but all it all. PC will never die.
