    Why exactly are PCs better than Macs?

    Personally i think macs are brilliant. 2 years ago I had 3 pcs and a dated imac, but since OSX I now have one PC for gaming, an old imac, a new imac and a 12'' ibook. I have not had a single crash in OSX but what happened about 5 minutes ago on my WinXP PC? Yep it crshed for the umpteenth...

    When will I need a new processor?

    You will be fine for next 1 1/2 to 2 years for running this on high etc, after that you will be able to run games for many years. Absolutely no point upgrading in the next 6 months or so for sure.

    How does the Video Card world work?

    Highend are becoming mid range now, For example the 9800pro was very high end a year ago, but now it is about midrange, while the former midrange (9600xt) are now becoming lowend. No doubt this will happen with the current highend in a year or so.

    So how is this for my new pc?

    Looks ok, personally i would opt for an athlon 64 as they perform much better in games. Also how about a 9800 pro?. And you dont need that ram!!, you just need normal 3200 ddr, if you are not overclocking crucial or corsair value is fine.

    matching processor & graphics card

    http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/AMD_Bundles.html Have a nice bundle with an athlon 64 2800 for £250, maybe if you stretch your budget a bit you can get a 9800 pro? You would not be dissappointed.

    WHat is AA/AF

    Basically AA smooths the edges on pixels so they don't look jagged. AF is more complicated:http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1558,1152380,00.asp Both features are available on both ATi and nVidia cards and has been about for quite a while now.

    Skunx you are comparing two different x800s... You are comparing a sapphire x800 XT with a connect 3d XT PE Both the sapphire and connect PEs are clocked the same.
