Bloody Hell. My girlfriends little brother want to get a computer. Initially he siad he just wanted it for basic web/email/music - general nonsense. So I was pushing him towards the iMac. He thought it was fine but wanted to think about it. On the way out of the store he asked if Macs can play the same games as PCs. Drat.

Anyway, apparently his PS2 and 200 games isn't enough to keep him entertained. And I cannot steer him towards a Mac if he wants it for gaming. But I have no idea what kind of computer to get or what it'll cost. He has about $2500 CDN to spend and is starting from scratch (no monitor, no nothing)

So...I'll be wasting time reading crap at Ars and Anandtech today but would appreciate any advice on picking out a good gaming PC.
