Is my PC Crap?

On average, around $70 or so between the two.

We can get the GTS 250 for as low as $99 and the GTX260 core 216 for $170.
 
Kk lol so is mine around $30
I think I'll just get the GTS

GTS is still an awesome card, but it can't max out certain games, and probably won't play games at decent settings as long as the 260. I would get a less powerful processor (dual cores aren't even fully utilized, yet alone quads). I would go with a 3ghz core 2 duo and save some cash, then put that cash into the video card and get a 260.
 
Dual cores are getting fully utilizing and are becoming obsolete. Stick with C2Q if you want to play games like crysis or arma 2 or gta IV.
 
That CPU is one of the best oc'ers and is a great performer.

Tell your friend that he is horribly wrong lol

What? In what programs are you seeing a near 2x increase in speed due to the extra core? Also, I can max out crysis with a 260 and core 2 duo @ 2.8ghz. The only people that actually need quad cores are developers and people who do mass rendering and video editing.
