And it will certainly perform better than a ps4 pro in most games. We don't really know Scorpio so idk about that. What I do recommend however is to spend $150 more on a 1070 instead or wait a couple of months until AMD's Ryzen 5 CPUs come out which may lower the cpu cost more. Also add like $20 more for Windows 10 from Kinguin.

sounds like sound advice. 1070 will be great for the next 5+ years!

I use the Antec P100 Black ATX Mid Tower case. For the sound dedening and good cable management and dust filters.

After 3 years there hardly any dust in mine and i added an extra front quiet fan.


im running an R9 390. just open the front door when you game for better flow.

I've got the remaining parts of this build on the way:

And even I don't consider that a "great gaming PC". Perhaps I should stop watch Jaystwocentz and bitwit on youtube what make my build look like amateur hour. That being said, $750 is definitely enough for a solid PC.



Don't listen to the people here telling you $750 isn't enough to get a great gaming PC or those telling you to buy a PS4 Pro instead.

A $750 PC will absolutely destroy a PS4 Pro and will play just about all current titles at high/ultra settings at 1440/60FPS (even 4K/60 if you play at a mix of high/medium/low settings)

Take a look at this build. $756 gets you everything you need including a Skylake i5, a 6GB GTX 1060 and even includes the Windows 10 OS:

It's amazing how well the $450 PC can play the latest games at 1080p, 1440p and even 4K.

$750 isnt enough? bullshit. i bought a prebuilt 3 years ago and upgraded it with a 1050 a few weeks ago and it outclasses consoles by a mile.



Do it. Consider a RX 480, fairly cheap.



I spent $2600 on my new PC, and i can barely play Star Citizen at a good framerate at 4k haha. (Bad optimization)

 

No need for consoles if your investing into a PC. With Xbox Live on PC and PSNow becoming available to more countries. Just invest into a PC that could last you more than 5 years. If you can pick up a Switch down the line that would easily compliment your PC with the best exclusives and portability features.

 

Best budget PCs go AMD if you want bang for buck. Or do what i did and get the best but pay heaps more and buy into Nvidea. My GPU alone set me back $1000 💰



PC is so much better value and when you start buying games the money just keeps earning itself back because of the lower prices, don't be fooled $750 is enough ^^ GET THAT 1060 OR 480RX

Thank you everyone for the replies! I will be looking into these and be making my final purchases on Saturday while posting what I did get. If anyone else has anything else to add/look into, please keep posting.

 

Also that I can probably get a little higher if the gaines are worth it. It seems the 1070 is definitely something to check out so I'll be sure to.
