I didn't even consider Sony being able to drop the size of the SSD. If they dropped their Digital SSD down to 412 GB (Half the size of their regular SSD), they'd be able to save an additional $50 on manufacturing costs. Not having a disk drive should lower costs and allow them to subsidize thanks to a bigger return on digital sales. So Disk PS5 for $500, and Diskless for $375 to $350, with half the SSD space.

Yeah this build wont last you long.

RDNA 1 vs 2. No ray-tracing, VRS, VRR. Slow AF SSD. Gunk tier PSU. You either go mid or high end on PC. Never low end. A $300 Series S is miles better in technology and value.

I think you quoted the wrong post. But anyway...

Yes, it should have the newer GPU in that build. Like I said before we'll have to wait until AMD has their RDNA2 cards out.

RDNA 2 cards should have ray tracing.

It's an M.2 SSD. That's not slow.

It's a decent PSU, just not modular.

I agree absolutely that you should go mid or high end on a PC. But for somebody that wants to get a Series S, I think its worth spending an extra $200 just to have access to a much bigger library. Xbox has a D tier library compared to the other systems, while PC has A tier.

And just to say it again, I would never build this. Go at least upper mid tier with PC or don't bother IMO!
