xbox 360... sigh

[jdawg90 10+ year member]

I have a 250gb 360 slim. The warranty expires in the beginning of february. Recently it has been taking ******* FOREVER to load the dashboard when I turn it on... I have a feeling it might be on it's last leg. I'm trying to figure out what to do. IDK if i want to spend 50 bucks on extending the warranty for another 2 years or what. I sorta want to sell everything and get a gaming pc but I already have xbox games and **** and like using my big tv.

What does it even cost to build a decent gaming pc these days? I don't know sh1t about that stuff really. Anyone made the switch and like it? I've had like 5 or 6 360's this is just getting ridiculous. Those 360 mod hacks do have me intrigued though.
