Just wondering what your guys thoughts are since these easily outdated cards that cost around 200+ for a good one when for that price or a little bit higher you can buy a gaming system. Whats your thoughts? worth it but over priced? they match up to there prices? or rip off?

If you spend 200 euros on a gfx card when the consoles were released you would have something like a 8800GTS or a HD4870 right? Not sure about the dates.
But if that is true, then you can still perfectly play all games with them. This is due to developers coding for the lesser spec'd consoles. So if you get a 200 euro card now you'll have a much faster GFX card than is possible in consoles. For 125 Euros you have a Ati HD6850 card, which should perform reasonable in most recent games, as in you'll most likely to play at Full HD(+) resolution, and with 60 FPS, at medium or low settings. This is already much better than most consoles, which often do not deliver full HD (yes, it does after upscaling, but that's not true Full HD rendering and can easily done by PC's as well. It also gives you more FPS in some games, were you would get 30 if you're on a console against a steady 60 at the PC.
So yes, you might spend more, but you'll also get a whole lot more. Besides if you want to you can use your GPU for other things after you're done gaming.
