However, over time it really does eventually pay for itself as compared to console.
Up front you're definitely going to be paying more. Especially if you building a computer that you'll be able to play newer titles five years down the road. I think I topped out around $1.5k for my current computer. I sorta planned on upgrading an older computer I have with a new mobo and processor eventually. I'm more interested in purchasing a capture card and using what I have in it as a second streaming PC. Of course, it's probably a moot point now since I stopped streaming a year ago and can't ride off the coat tails of some large YouTubers who frequently raided my stream.
