*edit* those are some excellent builds. Some people done some good shopping on that thread. But does not include the price of a mouse, keyboard, monitor (most people already have HDTVs and an HDTV as a monitor is annoying but possible...) Windows, etc.
skyrim is 3 years old...
Good for her.
Care to post specs?
Who says pc requires hours of modding to work? Pc games are just as easy as console games now since they all have to be installed anyways. Then the game normally auto adjusts the settings to meet your computer. Mods simply take the games to whole new levels. I believed there was some confusion on either your end or whoever todl you that.

Just download it in minutes on steam and play it. She has no technical PC skills. Her PC was cheaper to build than a used PS3 too and runs it better than a PS3 could ever dream of running it. Required no extra talent to run. |
What are the specs?

In general it would cost 300$ish to be on par with a PS3 and 750$ish or so to be on par with a PS4 |
I think he was just exaggerating a little. A computer like that would probably be around 300 or so. hundred for a vid card, 80 for an older processor and mobo, 60 for ram, then keyboard mouse psu etc.
If he bought the parts off a friend or craigslist, I could see 200-300 for a decent rig.

bullshit. Less than a used PS3? Less than $200. You are entirely full of shit. Download in minutes? How fast is your internet? Yes, steam is simple, and cheap. That's part of the reason it's so popular.
Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

And here's the minimum requirements to get the game up and running:
for Steam activation I don't know how fast their internet is, but from the looks of it, it can run on a Bay Trail Atom tablet. Mind you, they can easily be found at sub-$200 price points.
I WON A BET AGAINST AZUREN! WOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The cost of a mouse and keyboard is around 5 dollars at a thrift store. You might even be able to find a monitor there for 30 dollars as well. Windows is $65 and it unnecessary as you can use Linux.
It's important to know that they really haven't done much of any work. They just went to pcpartpicker, which really does all the work for you.

That's actually a more expensive build, too. I could have cut several corners and dropped the price more than $50.
Just goes to show you that price is no longer an argument for consoles as they easily will cost more than a pc will.
