went onto that pcmasterrace reddit thing and a guy posts his possible pc build and asks is this enough to beat consoles. The thing came in at $849 and they were like check, check, looks good, ram is a little bit more than needed, oh wait your gpu will get bottle necked you should upgrade to this even more expensive one. Then they were like you will need a new monitor too.
Seriously this whole beat a PS4 for 400$ is bullshit that they spew on YT. But in their actual forums they're barely breaking 800$ when they talked amongst themselves. |
So when you talk about console prices do you add your at least $400 HDTV to the price?
You can certainly build a PC for $500 that outperforms the PS4 as much as the PS4 outperforms the XBONE. As for the guy you mentioned on pcmasterrace, it could be that he is overspending on the other components and underspending on the GPU. The GPU should cost about half (+/- 10%) as much as the total price of the system (unless you are buying multiple gpus.) My GPU cost about $200, and my PC cost about $500 (before OS; in total), for example.

it was actually a $1200 TV and it was being bought whether anybody in my house game or not. Our 42" toshiba was ageing and need to be replaced.
That's what the Playstations are hooked up to. I have a PC monitor as well but just for work so i'd need to buy a new one for gaming. And no a 500$ PC in my house wouldn't beat a PS4 because I'd have a few programs running on it non gaming related. Not much of a PC is it can only fo games because if that's what i wanted I'd buy a games console.

I didn't know the discussion was limited to your case. You specifically mentioned another guy who made a poor $800 build and then mentioned how for you a $500 Pc wouldn't beat a PS4 because you wouldn't play games on it. Well duh. What is the point you are trying to make?
