I don't get why Microsoft fans always attack Sony fans in these topics, lol, never the Nintendo gamers or PC gamers.

 

I can buy a $500 PC that runs circles around the Xbone, btw.

 

GPU -  $120  http://www.amazon.com/Asus-HD7850-DC-1GD5-ASUS-Graphics-Card/dp/B00A6GC5VK/ref=sr_1_7?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1384310132&sr=1-7&keywords=radeon+7850

Mobo - $50 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128504

500GB Hard drive - $40 http://www.amazon.com/Seagate-Barracuda-ES-ST3500630NS-internal/dp/B000R2GC08/ref=sr_1_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1384309873&sr=1-1&keywords=hard+drive

RAM - $70 http://www.amazon.com/Crucial-Ballistix-Tactical-DDR3-1600-BLT8G3D1608ET3LX0/dp/B00A14ZTTM/ref=sr_1_26?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1384308744&sr=1-26&keywords=8gb+ram

CPU - $80 http://www.provantage.com/amd-ad750kwohjbox~7AAMD2U6.htm

Case - $30  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005869A7K/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B005869A7K&linkCode=as2&tag=c09_11-20

PSU - $25 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026

Keyboard and mouse - $20  http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Desktop-MK120-Mouse-keyboard/dp/B003NREDC8/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1384309309&sr=1-1&keywords=keyboard+and+mouse

OS - Steam OS, Linux. - $0

Total? - $435

Want windows?

OS - $90 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004Q0PT3I/ref=as_li_ss_tlie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B004Q0PT3I&linkCode=as2&tag=c09_11-20

$525 overall.

Xbone = $500 + 6% tax = $530.

And that PC build is IF you want windows, if you already have windows or don't want it, you can use that extra $90 to get a 7870 and a better CPU. 

 

So yeah.

 

That pc is total garbage you just put together. 

Much better GPU, CPU on the same performance level, and you can overclock both, how is the PC total garbage for the price? It EASILY outpeforms the Xbone so I guess that's total garbage as well, huh? 

Not that I think that PC is garbage by any means but an important thing that needs to be considered when you do comparisons like this is that a PC will almost never be able to produce the graphic fidelity that an equal-speced console can do. If you make a PC with the same specs as the 360 has you'll have trouble trying to get games to look anywhere near as good. This isn't the PC's fault though because console games can be so much more easily optimized than PC games usually are which is why that disparity exists.

 

@Darth Tigris: I disagree. While I don't understand people who think resolution is all that matters or is the most important thing, they most certainly shouldn't be moderated for it because everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

@Shinobi-san: I think you misunderstood what I was trying to say. I'm not saying that resolution doesn't matter because it does but the people that I entitled "bad gamers" were the people that act like resolution is the most important thing or overplay it. Like I said to adriane23, resolution does matter (and it will matter more or less in varying degrees to different people) but it's one of many things that should be considered when choosing a system, it should not be the defining one and I truly believe the only people that act like it is are the one's that are caught up in the console wars crap.


The 7850 is considerably more powerful than the XBone's GPU, espescially when you factor in the fact kinect takes 10% of the GPU's resource, overclock the 7850 to 7870 level and the difference is vast. Not to mention the faster RAM my rig has, and arguably much faster processor, which can be overclocked as well. 

What I love is that everyone STILL talks like gaming systems are PURELY GAMING and can't compare PC's cause they have the operating system and all that junk

The PS4 and Xbox One are cluttered as well these days with operating sytsems and junk too.  Now they may not be as bad as PC's but they are incresing.
