I've always been a midrange gamer. It is getting expensive. But a mid range PC is still as powerful as a console for a roughly similar price. I'm in for the gameplay, not so much the ultra high graphics.

I've always enjoyed trying new technologies such as Ray Tracing or HDR, but all in all I agree with you, gameplay comes first. That's why I've been falling in love with indie games more and more.

I've always been a mid-range gamer. When I was younger, that's just what I could afford. As I've grown older, I didn't see the point of spending more for high end. Mid-range already feels too expensive. But luckily, the parts last for 5 years easily.
