It's possible to create a PC that outperforms consoles while matching their cost. Enjoy lower prices, free internet access, and many other advantages.
The idea is clear: if PC players avoided tougher titles, they wouldn’t need to upgrade. Think of it this way: - Console gaming resembles Photoshop—once a year you get a full overhaul to new features, which costs once. - PC gaming is similar to GIMP—updates are more frequent but smaller changes, gradually improving performance. (Swapping the CPU and motherboard, boosting RAM, swapping out graphics cards) A solid example is Sevadus, a long-time Minecraft livestreamer who’s kept his setup fresh for a decade without replacing everything at once. This approach means you can stay current without a full console refresh. -- While a PC might cost a bit more upfront, it offers comparable graphics power and can last six years if you don’t push yourself into demanding games (consoles don’t offer that flexibility either).
Yeah but how many times a year do you pay $60 for a brand new game? I get atleast 3, $400+$360 $760 for 6 years of playstation plus and the ps4. Almost EVERYONE I know gets another controller because ps4 ones die fast. $810. 3 games a year for 6 years. 180 times 6. $1080+$810 is $1890. I'd gladly build a $1300 system with a 980ti and i5-4690k to last me 7 years. $590 left over for games, you can find a nice keyboard and mouse combo for $26 that's backlit, a $150 for a 1080p IPS panel, or use your TV. Steam sales drop prices of games insaneles amount. I could easily get 12-30 games with $590 on PC. What about those people who pay $60 EVERY time that new game comes out that they just have to have? My friend gets a good 6-7 games a year. That's $360 a year for 6-7 years. If it's 6 years $2160 just for games if you got 6 a year for 6 years. This doesn't count all those cheap $30 games Orr all those COD add one or when you buy s sharkcards or buy VC for NBA 2k. Console gaming in my,opinion is MORE expensive then PC.
Understood. I know what you're saying. It did take a moment for me to process it.
Back in 2009, my Phenom II was valued at 600 pounds. The 7770 brings it up to the same level as XBONE.
I consistently believed investing between $3 and $500 in a PC wasn't wise.
