There is one thing that really cannot be bought for a reasonable price and that is the RAM on the PS4, people don't really know but that GDDR5 RAM is expensive as hell, you can find that type of ram only on graphics cards atm and those graphics cards are like $900 for like 4 gigs of GDDR5, and this is just the RAM an graphics cards were talking about.
So in short OP no you really cant get a PC that's close to the PS4 build for $500 dollars, Not saying I'm an Elitist but I have built my own PC so I do know a thing or two, at least about pricing and how everything works. |
You might want to check out GPU prices again. I see 4 GB GDDR5 GPU's for $250 on Newegg.
Besides, GDDR5 is not very good for general purpose computing making it uneccesary for a computer to have the entire RAM pool based on GDDR5 (which, by the way, is actually DDR3 with some tweaks).

IF you can find a 8gb GDDR5 Vidoe card that is $250 please link it to me, like I would be eternally greatful (not even joking), cuz I can't find itand Ive looked on Newegg and amazon and so far nothing :/

You said 4 GB first. And then I even noted that you don't need, in fact would be bad, to have your entire RAM pool be GDDR5.
As for an 8GB GDDR5 video card, you can't get that in a standard consumer product anyway. Anything over 6 GB is professional grade as it's practically useless for video gaming at current resolutions.

Whoops blarg I meant 8 gigs in the original post so my mistake sorry about that, nvm then my hopes and dreams are destroyed by my own excitment.
:C
Too put it simply though I wasnt just going to use the Graphics card just for normal gaming, and it wouldn't have been my entire RAM pool.
Anyways sry again for misleading with my original post goin to fix that.
