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 don't even need 8GB of GDDR5 at 1080p. 1080p at the MOST requires 2-3GB of GDDR5 memory. Which is on nearly every mid range card. Plus the graphics card on the PS4 doesn't get the entire 8GB. You must not understand how specs work. The PS3 didn't dedicate all 512MB of its memory to the graphics. Nor did the Xbox 360 which had more freedom to do so.

I know how specs work, In another one of my posts I said I'm not requiring the 8 gigs for just gaming. Also even a console peasent knows that all 8gigs are not dedicated to gaming, but you should also know that even in PC's there are requirements such as dedicated memory (RAM) especially since windows 7 and 8 have come out.
:P
