Of course a $600 system is superior (slightly) than an ps4 xbone. Its $600. Build a 400 buck computer and see how much fun you have. The main reason I stopped gaming on PC's was because my friends IRL play xbox. Not too many day to day people that I encounter have rigs at home set up for pc gaming. The graphics are better/smoother etc on PC of course. But consoles are practical. Its an easy package with a warranty. People of all ages play. Whereas PC gamers are a very narrow demographic so to speak. /rant

PC's are obviously better but there are a lot of trade offs

Can you explain to the coli brehs how a system three times as powerful as ps4 is only "slightly" superior :troll:

@VladTheImpaler still waiting on that $600 computer that would blow this build out the water :youngsabo:

the microcenter 4770k is a huge YMMV, they probably be gone soon though and its only at MC where almost nobody lives near enough for it to be worth the trip

console nikkas wont appreciate it anyway :pacspit:

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.
nothing with an R9 270 in it is a high end PC and fukk Microcenter for lowering the price of that processor when i just paid like $40 more for it.

The R9 270 can play Metro Last Light on high @ 1080P

Doesn't get much more demanding than that

That's like 3-4 cards away from the flagship. i mean if you got a flagship in your PC that's a high end PC. when you're that many cards away that's a budget PC. on the AMD side anything less than an R9 280X is a compromise and really it should at least be an R9 290 vanilla.

So op. basically you built an $800 computer that will need to be upgraded well before the next systems come out?

Way to drive home your point :heh:


:dahell: howd you add the extra $110 in the price tag :russ: ?

Itll only need to be upgraded if you want to continue to play games years from now on max settings, at 60 fps..you know.. something your console cant even accomplish currently :russ:
