I'll built my PC for around 9500 BRL, which is 4000 BRL more than what I bought my PS5 Horizon Bundle 2 years ago (but now we can buy it for around 4100 BRL). My PC is a bit more powerful than the base PS5 So PC gaming still twice as expensive as consoles However when it comes to software at least where I live the prices are much better since steam adjusts prices based on country currency Base PS Plus is already 360 BRL a year, in 5 years this alone will cost me ~1800 BRL, which by itself offsets 50% of the price I paid on my PC over my PS5 And goes without saying PCs have actual use for other things other than just gaming Consoles are only better with play few games a year, uses physical media and don't care for online play. Otherwise PC all the way |
In total I spent around $2,000 over the course of 2 years to upgrade. I upgraded the MOBO, CPU, RAM, and SSD first for about $1,000, then got the GPU for ~$700 about a year later. I kept my old case, monitors, keyboard, and mouse.
