here console peasants let me build you a high end PC for $700

[hex]

I think price is the biggest reason.

That doesn't make any sense either, because most of the Sony stans were bragging about PS3 being more expensive than 360.

"You peasants can pay less for inferior hardware, we're a rare breed that doesn't mind paying more for the best". That was the Sony battle cry for the first half of the last gen. Now it's been flipped, because XBOX1 is more expensive.

Does it sound familiar? It should, that's what PC gamers are saying to console users. Only how it's and plea copping "we don't necessarily want to spend that much, this is good enough".

Fred.

I don't know about all that. Hypocrisy is on both side of the camps. Im not trying arguing about that.

All im saying is i think price is the biggest factor for general gaming crowd.

top end

what it can play: Battlefield 4 on Ultra with ease

where you can upgrade:
video card ($100-250+ more but thats just future proofing)
motherboard(better memory performance, more PCIE slots)
add a SSD(obvious. maybe not to your 720p peasant minds though)



bow down and kiss the ring, I just built you something three times as powerful as xbox1 and ps4 for $200 more.

can you help me build my HTPC to run 1080p vid smoothly. I want the pc blazing fast too though, but I want to spend 300-500. Thx breh

What I'm saying is this board ain't the general gaming crowd. Or they portray themselves as such.

You seem new here, and/or probably never posted back on SOHH. The shyt I'm saying stretches back literally years. You (not you, I mean whoever) can't say "money is no object, we want the absolute best" because you stan Sony, then complain that a gaming PC is too expensive. You can't sit here arguing about GPUs and 1080p and RAM and then "hold on, that's too nerdy" when people start talking about PCs. That card was permanently removed from the deck years ago.

Still laughing at that trash set up that bamma put up


And to think he used that say hey PC gaming is where it's at

This is starting to turn into another @Smooth3d situation where people were asking for confirmation of the shipping playstation 4 but he couldnt show proof you done posted in this thread like 6-7 times since I asked you to build a better computer for $600 but you know you cant but still remain to post about how bad the original computer is Yo udont even own a gaming PC huh

I think @2gunsup or @Liquid has a link for multiple HTPC set ups and pricing in his signature

Easily. I had a 8800 GTX Ultra in 2006. It can still play Battlefield on high settings with 64 players

an 8800 GTX was a $600-$650 card back then though. Not adjusted for inflation that is higher than the price of the consoles at the time (PS3 was pushing that but still) and that's just a graphics card. I mean a real midrange graphics card from back then running games today at 720p at the quality of a Beyond Two Souls.

whats with coli members adding $100-200 to every price tag ? I had a 8800 GTX Ultra and it was $550 after taxes. Technology has advanced so much and engines change, they are more CPU dependent now than GPU so a high powered CPU with a mid level GPU will still do you great

$500 still isn't a midrange

i mean console money doesn't equate to PC money. on a PC i spend my money up front and get the games dirt cheap. on a console i spend less money up front and spend more on the games. still though you not gonna be able to pull a midrange PC from 2005-2006 and get the level of graphics from modern games that those consoles are delivering now.

Can a GTX 7800 do that today in a game? At times when i was playing that game i had to double take it looked so lifelike.

You clearly missed the part where I said games TODAY are more CPU dependent than games before ? And that the combination of a high end CPU with a mid level GPU TODAY is better than it was previously ?? Ive said this like 3-4 times already bruh...

I can understand if you're a kid or a teenager and you need to be given one as a gift but why would a grown ass man want to buy hardware that is already outdated by about two years?

720p? 900p? 30 fps? All this on the equivalent of medium graphical setting?

In 2013 breh?

It probably could considering that game is an interactive drama. Your cable box could probably run it.
