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

Uh yea it doesn't work that way. Just because the build price went up does not mean that you upgrade parts. That just means this build changed. If you are changing out parts every month you are doing something wrong.

no you didnt understand, because newer games are becoming more demanding you would need to upgrade parts to get that better game play is what im saying, and it can add up, but if you play older games then you wouldnt need to upgrade but...

No newer games really aren't becoming more demanding. Maybe one out 10 might actually require what the box says it requires. Face it none of these builds are doing 4k games, those are really the only ones that require much of anything.

For instance. If you can play battlefield bad company 2, you can play battlefield 4. It's the same engine. Those games are years apart. If you build a decent computer 4 years ago chances are it's still fine now.

I would Invest in PC but to much Money. Why by a PC when you can Buy a car or an apartment for the same price? I mean Sure, its gaming for all the people that like it, but the money for a PC is RIDICULOUS. People buy Consoles because its cheap and easy to use. I love to play on the PC. But TBH, I gave up on it. After buying a bunch of games on steam.. I just realized it eats your money. Also - running at a 180kb/s down speed its really not fun. If i were to buy a PC I would go in. Dont buy a shitty 600$ PC. Yes They work good. But Buy a 2,000$ PC that Is a tank and do something with it. So. that being said, Don't waste money unless you have money to waste. Just Have fun Smile #Console
