PC Pros:
Better Graphics
Keyboard and Mouse are much better for first person shooters
Can do alot more than just "Play games"

Graphics depend on the computer but yea the graphics can be better.
I can't play with keyboard and mouse maybe once I get my new keyboard and mouse and a good desk I will have a change of heart.
Very True a computer is a lot more then a gaming console
Looks like computer wins

Yep agree. Also most games that come out on 360 come out on computer and i love playing 1st person shooter with mouse and keyboard so thats not a problem.

Also does all your ram have to be the same brand namer or same speed?

It does not have to be the same brand you can have for example you can have 2x1GB 800MHz G-Skill mixed with 2x1GB 800MHz Corsair and it will be just fine.
However mixing RAM speeds is not recommended but will not hurt your computer just make it slower. For example if you have 2GB of 1066MHz and 2GB of 800MHz the 2GB of 1066MHz RAM will down clock it self to 800MHz.
Really you would just be wasting money by mixing speeds because the higher speed RAM is just going to down clock itself to match the lower speed RAM.
