I wonder what the least amount of money you can spend on a PC that runs all games at maximum settings and resolution at 60 fps or more.

Like, seriously. People keep saying that PCs are better than consoles, but they cost more money so getting consoles is better. So I was wondering, what is the least amount of money one could spend on a gaming PC that will run all video games on maximum settings, maximum resolution and at, like 60 or 120 fps. It's probably a hell of a lot better than a console, yes, but it's a hell of a lot expensive. So, if you're poor it's really not worth it. Consoles are better. For poor people.

  • You can't outright build a PC more powerful than a PS4 but cheaper. It's a long term investment. The more games you buy, the cheaper it becomes. For two reasons: - Much cheaper games - No pay to play online So factor in the cost of online (say $60 AUD a year) building a PC becomes much cheaper in the long term. I mean, consider 6 years of online subscription (say that's a generation length). 6 x $60= $360. For example, the PS4 would be $550 + $360 AUD which is $910. You can build a PC for around $700 AUD which delivers the same performance. Then you factor in the much cheaper games. Then you factor in emulation (if you're into that) Then you factor in all the free games. Then you factor in all those exclusives and indie titles. Then you factor in the mods. Then you factor in the larger (and in my opinion, better) fan base. Then you factor in the fact that it's a PC. You can do PC things on a PC, you know? It's not just for gaming. And it depends on how much you want to spend. The more you spend, the more amazing the games look. That's how it works. But of course, it isn't for everyone. - Some people have friends on consoles and just want to play with them. - Some people prefer the exclusives on consoles. - Some people can't be stuffed learning how to build a PC. I will probably get attacked now seeing as this forum is flooded with console gamers. So yeah. Let the stoning begin.
