Don't buy a PC lol. Right now is THE WORST time to be buying a gaming rig. Unless you plan to go way over the console prices, your rig will not out perform them this November and it will really fall behind in a few years. Much smarter is buying a PC a few years into the gen so that it's fairly cheap to get better than console graphics.

What he should do is buy a PS4 or xbone close to launch when the console to pc graphics ratio is most favorable.


Why you think next gen will outperform this build that badly? Next gen will use very similar architecture to the build I posted, so difference wont be that bad I think. I know its not the best time to buy a PC(AMD next GPUs are coming in a few weeks or months) but the funny thing and the point of the thread its to make a build right now thats comparable to next gen. Buying a PS4 or Xbox One at launch its not that great idea either in my opinion, they are more expensive, few games to play in the first year, hardware issues(I hope not), not much of a big step on the graphics department(IMHO), sweet spot its 2-3 years on the market when the market leader will probably have been settle and devs have some experience with the hardware.
