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

So the top...'a computer build without a mouse, keyboard, and monitor...' $475. Add another $200-300 for those. No thank you. I'll stick with my Playstation 4. Also, why the fuck is this thread in the shout box? Silly PC fanboys. Tricks are for kids.


Mouse and keyboard cost $30 and I never knew ps4 came with a tv.

Nice tutorial bro, but many people will argue with you due to the fact the reason why we all still have consoles is simply modding. If I was into gaming I Would build pc, but I dont need it and it will end up being a waste of time. Thanks for contributing you knowledge!

PC fanboys? NGU is a place for ALL gaming platforms. Consoles do not reign here, especially not Playstation. FYI I put it in the notice, thank you. That's why its in there.


Exactly. Makes you a PC fanboy. It's ok. I'm a PS4 fanboy. Take it as a compliment. Consider it pride. I'm all about my Playstation 4 and I let everyone know it at work, and the free world.

I'm not a PC fanboy. NGU is a place for all platforms of gaming, despite majority of the people thinking this is a Playstation forum, because it clearly isn't.

Why was this moved? If you are a PC gamer you wouldn't be looking for this thread in this section to begin with (Since you already made the right choice). General discussion was where this belonged.

everyone has their own opinion, but what you need to consider with PC is that every 6 months to a year you will need to upgrade to play the latest games at top quality, as for console there is no need for a change throughout the whole life of the machine, yes you cant run all games at top quality like battlefield but personally i'm not to bothered.


Yea you couldn't be any more wrong. My hardware as it is is creeping up on being 4 years old. It plays every game maxed out just fine. My only issue is pushing 5760 x 1080 on most games but that's far beyond what any poverty station can do anyways.
