Xbox for PC?

Technology and Gaming Help and Support
#1

I was wondering, if I sold My xbox 360 would I be able to buy a decent gaming computer?

It’s an Elite 120GB includes HD cables, Wireless controller, ect. or would it be best to just keep the xbox?

#2

throw that red ringer away and join the true gaming masterrace

#3

I really want to, it’s just that I don’t want to jump and fall into a hole of regret…
(By that I mean not being able to afford a decent rig. =( )

#4

You’d probably not get a lot of money from selling it.

#5

how much do you think I would need for a decent gaming rig?

#6

At least $400, which probably is more than the console cost and since consoles lose value over time, that’s why you’re not going to get enough money for a decent PC.

#7

You could build a good gaming pc for about $600.

#8

It’d definitely be a better choice to build the PC, but if you only have the money you’d get from sellin the xbox it wouldn’t be enough.

#9

This amount seems decent for a low end gaming system.

#10

Try saving money, or selling some games or something.

You need at least a good $500 plus good deals to afford a good rig.

About $800 for an excellent one,

and about $1000 for a perfect one.

or get a previous generation rig that will still be more powerful than consoles

intel E5700 overclocked to 4ghz+ $69.00
gigabyte or asus G41 board $55.00
kingston or similar cheap 4gb of ram $19.57 x 2 = 39.14$
radeon HD 5670 $71.07 or similar 6 series if it’s cheaper
and some WD or seagate HDD $40.17
and a cheap power supply (the first non-generic brand was $46.35)

that would cost $320.73, without the CD drive but you can install windows from a flash drive or CD drive that you could borrow from an old PC. Also I got all these prices from a local Montreal store website, you might get higher or lower prices depending on the currency exchange rate.

and 1600$ for mine.

#13

$1400 for mine.

Only $299 for my current one(not mine my parents pc, but I use for gaming)

#15

for £450 you could get a solid quad core with a GTX 560

I see were playing this game. $2372 for mine.

#16

I usually upgrade my computer gradually, so I can’t really give out a number for how much I spent on it.

However, these new PC games that are coming out are already giving a funny look at my outdated graphics card, so I guess I need to start looking for a new one.

#17

… uh I hope that’s with heavy discounts & coupons… parts that are top of the line are expensive as shit. With current or next gen tech, a computer that is at the top of the line costs close $20 grand in US currency along with the monitors and other shit that comes with it. This is excluding discounts and finding deals and the like. That being said, if I were you I’d re-evaluate my statement.

My rig costed around $800 or so. It’s more like $1200 or so with out the discounts. (when it was bought) It’s more like half that now.

It can run most games with little problems.

#18

Oh, when you get a computer, get liquid cooling. Trying to clean dusts on a V6 is a bitch.

#19

I’d advise against ever selling a system. God knows I regret selling the PS1 and the sega genesis… Fucking hell…

But if you must, it won’t be enough. Not close.

#20

I regret selling my N64 for a Dreamcast :frowning: .

Holy shit dude.
