What do you mean Ignorant and stupid............Have you never played PS3 on a HD or 3D tv!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rolleyes:
Uh yes and PC trumps it 20 fold. The Ps3 is a 7 year old console with very outdated tech( although very well utilized by Naughty Dog and Santa Monica) It has the power equivalent to a Nvidia 9400 GT or maybe higher while the PC is always changing into better and more advanced Tech. What are your PC's specifications?The graphics depend on that as well.

One can spend around $700 on a totally new PC desktop and still get twenty times better performance and graphics than a PS3 or Xbox360. Really depends on the individual parts you buy. For example, a gaming rig that is around that range can be such as

Rosewill REDBONE Black SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Rosewill RP600V2-S-SL 600W ATX12V v2.01 SLI Ready Power Supply

ASRock 970 EXTREME3 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD Motherboard

AMD Phenom II X4 955 Deneb 3.2GHz Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor HDX955WFK4DGM - OEM

G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-4GBXL

Western Digital Caviar Blue WD3200AAKX 320GB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

LITE-ON 24X DVD Writer - Bulk - Black SATA Model iHAS224-06 LightScribe Support - OEM

ZOTAC AMP! ZT-50302-10M GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card

Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound - OEM

Did not include a monitor but this is enough to run BF3 at 40FPS in 1080p that is its Ultra mode.

So, this post died when i last commented on it! What is up with that?
hey you have any way playing games without heavy gfx cards
what i mean is for example look at assassins creed 1, its gameplay graphics are not demanding
and yet it simply refuses to start until i buy a special gfx card
any tips?

PC's good........but the graphics aren't as good as PS3 or X-box 360 :)

Dude who said that to you ? A decent GPU has better graphics than consoles. In fact, consoles simply cannot get better graphics then a PC thanks to the wide array of GPU's that are being constantly released.

Better to go for Intel if you have a $700 budget which would roughly translate into 70,000 Rupees. 320GB hard drive is also a little bit low, better to get a 500gb or a 1 Tb one. Alternatively, I'd say:

Intel Core i3-3220 $130
Intel boxed heatsink/fan -
ASRock B75M-ITX $90
Crucial Ballistix Tactical Tracer 4 GB (2 x 2 GB) DDR3-1600 BLT2KIT2G3D1608DT2TXRG $33
PowerColor PCS+ AX7870 Myst Radeon HD 7870 2 GB $250
Western Digital WD Blue WD5000AAKX 500 GB $60
Cooler Master Elite 120 Mini-ITX Tower $40
Corsair Builder Series CX500 500 W ATX12V v2.3 $50
None -
Total Price $653
