Shouldn't have bought Skyrim again...

I never got what ANY of the extra stuff like graphics card info is important. It's better? Cool....how though?

I've played Metal Gear Solid on a HD wide screen on my PS3. Not freezing, no nothing. In which way are PC gamers improving on this?

PC gaming is cool if you're a MMO kind of guy. But all that fantasy Runescape WOW whatever stuff isn't really for me. My computer doesnt freeze and gives me what seem to be crystal clear graphics of an incredible level (depending on the game). Why do I need anything else?

Well, pretty much every computer in the world come with the components that are listed in the link above. You can just interchange parts with desktops like legos essentially. You want stuff to open faster? Upgrade your processor. You want better graphics and smoother gameplay in your video games? Upgrade your graphics card. You want more memory? Upgrade your hard-drive. Want your computer to boot things up in a fraction of a second? Get an SSD. A "gaming computer" is just higher quality versions of the components every computer has. You can just buy a shitty ass dell desktop and put gaming pc parts into it.

As for the MGS3 thing, essentially, and I'm aware of how cocky this sounds, it would be better all around providing you had the rig I linked. That graphics card I linked would make it play at about 70 FPS, which you can just google the differences between PS3 FPS and a quality gaming PC FPS and it'll give you a side-by-side screen to see how much better that is. Also, having it on a PC opens up the opportunity for a much wider array of mesh and texture implementations, meaning that the graphics themselves would be in more detail/clearer on the PC. You'd be able to play it "faster" because of the ram that the computer I linked has. There's so much more I'm finding it hard to even pinpoint the highlights. You can get ENB's for the game, you can get certain beneficial addons for the game because it's on the PC format, pretty much you can just do about anything. You could easily just plug a PS3 controller into the PC too, if you prefer that.

Not to mention that for the same price as the PS3 you can get all the other benefits an actual computer gives, which is an automatic deal-breaker for me.
