    This thread is about why you should kill your console and switch to PC this features a roughly $600 build this doesn't include a Mouse or Keyboard or monitor which are Highly recommended. If you want a cheaper one feel free to ask

    UPDATED BUILD

    This is a chart that gives you the idea about how much cheaper PC is and the build I made is actually very similar too the build I have listed. There are other reasons why you should switch

    Better Game Selection- PC has a better game selection overall you can't deny it there's multiple stores to buy from, tons of free games, lots of genres not widely available on Console.

    Better Graphics this is very obvious one but its another to add because we like beautiful games and if you don't then would you rather play watch dogs or battlefield 4 on a NES or a PC?

    Mods - PC has lots of Mods that can improve games/ make new games out of old games, Modding is frowned upon on Consoles and some Developers on PC go out of the way to make the game friendly to mods.

    More Hardcore/Casual - There's more super hardcore players and we all seen those guys playing StarCraft for hours upon hours without stopping and then there's casual players playing Minecraft or casual indie games.


    There's many more pros to be listed but I don't want this thread to be too long

    I picked them very well trust me (q9550 , hd4870 , 4gb ram ....) , I had more knowledge at that time (200Cool Man (aka Tustin) than now , maybe components got better performance/price ratio nowadays but I am sure you can't run lastest games at highest graphic settings at decent FPS and when I say latest games I mean those heavy weight games like GTA 5 or the incoming mafia 3 .

    And I see your partlist cost 1150$ , not 650 ...

    you said you paid 1200. and i said if you spent the right way that 1200 could go a far way. also if you overclock your cpu and and more ram you could easily get a gtx 970 or a r9 390 and play many new games very well

    Yeah I know an upgrade would bring it back to life but right now I'm not gonna spend a cent to upgrade it because I don't use it anymore at gaming and is useless for me , maybe another time I will buy a new one . My point was you can't play latest games at nice graphics with a 650$ pc for 6 years without major upgrades . Smile

    And yeah , I used to overclock it , it was my hobby , it has a massive cooler CM V8 once I've put it under air conditioner to get high 3dmark score hahahahaha Happy

    That's not entirely true. What you can get now vs. 6 years ago are vastly different in terms of how long you would realistically get out of the hardware. If you were to spend that same amount now, you could easily still be playing the newest games 6 years from now.
