best pc monitor for console gaming image

Kris Davie

So i was hoping to be able to use my RGB PC monitor. But obviously i need some sort of special adapter. I think ive seen one before anyway. So can someone specify what adapter or lead of whatever it is i need to play xbox 360 games from my console using my monitor like you would for a TV.

Answer
I'd recommend the 360 to VGA cable sold at http://www.geekquipment.com/video-game-cables.html

I've been using it for a while to play my 360 on my monitor; It's always worked really well for me.

What is the build for a budget gaming rig that can play most of the games from Steam?

I'm looking into doing PC gaming more than console gaming but I want a gaming rig that can let play some of the games I want to play. Maybe like Total War: Shogun 2, Total War: Rome 2, The Sims 3, the upcoming SimCity game, and The Witcher.

Answer
I would say a $1,100 minimum (excluding extras like monitor and keyboard) if you want a pleasant experience while playing these games, like not having to run anything on lowest settings. This figure also assumes that you are going to be using an AMD CPU.
