If he happens to have some low/mid range computer that he’s using right now - let’s say 2gb of ram and a 2 ghz core 2 duo processor, which is not at all unreasonable, then a $130 video card will indeed turn it into a gaming machine with much more power ( **and library of games** ) than a ps3 or xbox 360. **Beefy** , your endless number crunching make the fantasy football threads very fun. But the only way you can make the PC have a bigger games library than the Xbox 360 or PS3 (but especially the 360) is if you count all those cheesy match-3 puzzle games that are all over the Internet and every PC game released in the last ten years. Which is cheating just a bit. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/x-box-360-vs-playstation-3-what-should-i-buy/516958)._
