I've been working with comps since my teenage years too. And I've been using them since I was wee little child. :)

I've built and recommended parts to way more than dozen people none with major problems too. I just feel you have bit unrealistic view on performance and quality of modern day tech (not lying), its like you try to just downplay the performance/price/quality so you can feel good about consoles being cheaper.

I'd rather not continue with this convo because its obvious that it's not going to lead into any kind of conclusion, since you're allready mad.

 

Just to give you some perspective, this guy is playing all games smoothly on Ultra while also recording with similar setup as Shido has setup. 750k/7870/8gb ram

Yeah maybe next time you should approach disagreement with discussion of the facts in mind, rather than undermining the person.

You can't honestly sit there and say with a straight face that, as an example, this rig will deliver what a ps4 is capable of delivering for the same value. Yes you can Linux. Yes, you can curtail other costs. But does the rig A) have the same value for the majority of the population, and B) have the same kind of longevity?

As a PC afficionado yourself, you don't have to respond. I already know your answer if you're being objective about this whole thing.

I've been trying to keep this reasonable as I can, I havent even once insulted you as far as I can tell, going directly after your points. I criticized your 1400$ setup and tried to pry some more info on that, but I suppose thats where I crossed the line for you. You're the one trying to make this this a school yard brawl, going out of context on my answers and your constantly changing subjects that don't invovle the original issue.

That setup is strong enough to play multiplatform games coming on consoles all the way until they go out. NOT with maximum graphics, ofcourse. thats just not realistic, but neither is it for the consoles themselves. Optimization gives you a marginal advantage at best and it often involves straight out downgrading some aspects to improve others. If you want to join the PC graphics arms race then you will ahve to buy 500$ PC every 2 years atleast.

I respect your opinion on the matter, even though it differs a bit from mine. You might want to considering switching to a new setup, upgrading an 8 year build with just a new GPU is gonna bottleneck the system so hard that you're essentially throwing money into a fire.
