SO THEN... I always hear PC Master Race types talking about how playing on a console is pointless, that you can build a better gaming PC for the price of a console.
So, put it to test then, boys. Prove you aren't lying and a let's see your pS4/XBOX1 Priced build.
>buy refurbished office pc with a i7 and 8g ram for like $150 >stick a $70 used gtx 970 in it there you go.
Nicholas Campbell
>buys the cheapest modern card still in stock today There I can already run every game with better performance than both consoles. That was easy.
Nolan Phillips
unless console player can live without pc or they will still spend extra money on non-gaming pc which still cost around $250
Julian Lewis
All vague answers that explain Nothing.
Jack Walker
as dumb as expected from a consolefag. a ps4's frankengpu is equivalent to a $40 GTX 750ti card
Logan Campbell
Bro they just explained you. If you are too ignorant on computer hardware you shouldn't be asking how to match a but rather ask how computer parts are valued and their power.
Parker Russell
>>buy refurbished office pc with a i7 and 8g ram for like $150 Haha top kek
Nicholas Hughes
Nobody ever said it's cheaper than a console. I'd spend $1400 on a RTX 3090 without a second thought but it'd take some real good exclusives to make me want to get a new console.

>Nobody ever said it's cheaper than a console. It is cheaper than a console. You have to be retarded to think otherwise.
How are you going to power that nigga? Also do home PCs just come with an open PCIe port?

console launch price >CPU: AMD Ryzen 3 3100 3.6 GHz Quad-Core Processor ($112.74 @ Amazon) >Motherboard: MSI B450M PRO-M2 MAX Micro ATX AM4 Motherboard ($74.99 @ Walmart) >Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 CL15 Memory ($59.99 @ Amazon) >Storage: Western Digital Blue 500 GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive ($59.99 @ Amazon) >Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($37.19 @ Amazon) >Video Card: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 1650 SUPER 4 GB WINDFORCE OC Video Card ($169.99 @ B&H) >Case: DIYPC F2 MicroATX Mini Tower Case ($42.98 @ Newegg) >Power Supply: EVGA 500 W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply ($47.49 @ Walmart) >Total: $605.36 if you're trying to hit current console prices ($400), swap the 3100 for a 3400g, drop to 8gb ram, drop gpu, drop the ssd - ~$386. at least the poverty build is upgradable, doesn't require a monthly subscription for online, and does other things besides games.
>How are you going to power that nigga? Its a goddamn 75w card, anything could power that. >Also do home PCs just come with an open PCIe port? Duh.

I dont get why people assume building PC is so easy. I bought my PC components back in 2012. I assembled everything and followed instructions, they were pretty straightforward. Cables and connections only go one way. But my PC didn't post. It turned on but post onto black screen. I had to bring the tower to my local PC shop, and they fix'd it for a cost of 50 bucks per hour labor. They found that one of the ram card was loose. The 50 bucks and the gas I spent driving my car back and forth, plus the time I wasted was worth to actually just buy a comparable prebuilt.
Skipped on to early this year, my old PC started to age and I had a real job now. So I just bought a prebuilt Lenovo Legion T530 and plug and play it. It would've cost me more time and likely money to build from scratch. I commend people who like to tinker as a hobby, but I'm not a poorfag and my free time is worth a lot, there is no reason to not like prebuilt, especially from big name manufacturer. The amount of savings would be really marginal.
>PC as good as Xbox SeX for similar price impossible. it's sad how far we've fallen. i just escaped consoles and already feel like i have to go back
Benjamin Hill
show me a console that has: >actual backwards compatibility >abundant and free modding >emulation(6th and 7th) >free online >can actually do productive work >has every single game in existence except for like 20 this gen >has a storefront with any of the features Steam has go ahead, I'm waiting
This. My girlfriend always bitched about wanting a PC so we could play together. So I bought a Dell Optiplex off of eBay and put a GPU in it. She basically only uses it every few months to play L4D2, so I'm glad I didn't spend a whole lot on it.

consoles aren't pointless because they're cheap, they're pointless because they're useless since the only good games they have are multiplatforms that run and look better on PC anyway.
Lucas Wood
Why do you have to patronise people?
Levi Myers
You can't even put a **GOOD** GPU in there without having to spend additional amount of money on a smaller version.
John Anderson
dude, putting together a PC is literally moron proof. you have to be such a lazy bastard to fuck it up. you just have to watch ONE VIDEO to learn how it all fits together.
Liam Harris
Unless the 3080 is pushing 400w and you're core overclocking (which is stupid) , a 650w will be good.
Logan Reyes
>couldn't plug in RAM until it clicks Trust me, that user is at more at risk to themselves than anything I could ever say
Levi Stewart
>1650 super do you genuinely believe this will match next gen consoles? are you kidding?
Caleb Stewart
Is in your opinion user-made overclocking outdated at this point? Genuine question
Lucas Flores
LITERALLY everyone kept bragging how its cheaper than a console, that's the most common argument next to "oh its cheaper to build dumb ass"
Liam Gutierrez
> additional money What the fuck are you smoking? Just find a manufacturer that has a model that fits. Don't buy some fucking fourteen inch card for your small case.
who? that's rarely ever talked about, maybe they were saying in the long run if you don't consooom PC parts because games go on massive sales (or free in the case of epic games). but I have rarely ever heard anyone say PCs are CHEAPER
Christian Perez
next gen consoles have 8c/16t CPUs, very fast 1tb SSDs, and a graphics card that is almost certainly more powerful than a 1650 considering the video memory and teraflops, that's not comparable.
Elijah Smith
Both Ryzen and modern Intels run their boost clocks so close to the redline that the most you can realistically expect from an OC is a few hundred MHz, which does fuckall for performance (just look at a 10600k OC'd to 5GHz). RAM overclocking is still worth it, in most cases it doesn't even require more power draw, but it requires a lot more input/knowledge from the user.
Jack Green
I don't like people being rude to each other wherever I am
Jordan Flores
and next to 0 games lmfao. what is the point of comparing a next gen console that ISNT EVEN OUT YET? ALSO: 1) We've received no benchmarks so the information we've received is worthless 2) they're both launching with literally 2 games 3) No price so the information we've received is LITERALLY worthless

Thank you for the insightful answer
