Meh John Carmack had his day over a decade ago. As far as making games is concerned ID are highly overrated and haven't really pulled anything out of the bag for even longer.
And you don't need a high end PC to play the latest games even with maxed out graphics. If you can make do without resolutions higher than 1024x768 and Anti Aliasing like I do, almost any game runs well even on a combination of 2-4 year old hardware like mine. And a good gaming PC can be bought for around $600.
