Uhh I was talking about my PC, not the 8800. Learn to read, kiddo.
My GPU and CPU are just a single generation above the one in the article. I'm not sure how you'd build the article PC for quite as low as $400, but the difference overall isn't incredible by any means. I guess by your estimation my PC is quite high end, but I don't think middle class drops off that fast, when you consider the low end is Integrated Intel chips...
The GTX 260 is almost 4%... But true the numbers aren't as bad as I made out. Steam probably has a fairly accurate assessment of PC gamers.
First of all don't call me Kiddo. Secondly, i read what you wrote just fine. You made a comparison with your rig, and I said that the middleclass rig in review is much cheaper than your rig. And i don't think that your PC is high end because i don't what is your PC. If i had a 1000$ i would build the strongest PC available right now. If you'll write down your hardware i can tell you which category it is, imo.
when you consider the low end is Integrated Intel chips...
You know, that changed too. You can buy a GPU for 30$ these days that you can game nicely on. 30$ GPU, 50$ MB, 50$ CPU, 40$ HD, 20$ Case, 30$ PSU, 30$ Memory - there you go 250$ low end CPU that you can game on low res.
