Currently I'm sitting at $335 before the cost of windows, just for something comparable to the regular PS4. It would probably be around $320 if I went for a 1TB HD though.

By the love of god, do not use Logisys power supply. Your computer will explode after 5 days.

Also that entire build is just weird and not very good at all.

Why in god's name would you pay $100 for a 7 year old GPU when you can get a modern Nvidia 1050 for the same price? And there are a lot of other weird stuff with your build like a case fan and thermalpaste..

This is a much better build:

I didn't think the stock fan was very good so I went for a $5 fan that was bigger. Thermal paste was just trying to cover all the bases. My friend says that if you don't get thermal paste you are asking for trouble. Some of the parts are wierd and wonky, because I was trying to get something *only* as powerful as a basic PS4, while keeping the price as low as possible.

It really doesn't matter because the CPU prices between our builds are about the same, but how does a dual core 3.5 Ghz compare to the 8 core 1.6 Ghz in a PS4? Does hyperthreading really make that big of a difference?
