Stop wasting times on computer games. Buy a cell phone that can surf the internet and buy a nice guitar or something that won't lose value or be outdated in 6 months.

You would be better off flying over to America for a vacation, buying all your parts here, and then fly back to Aussie land. You'd probably save some money and you'd get to visit another country.

I had the same problem OP. I was told by EA to play bf4 i needed at least a gtx 970. Now bf1 came out and they said i need a 1070.
I bought it but this is ridiculous. Now it looks like they said my processer isnt fast enough.
So instead of a i5 i need a skylake thing. Which means a new mother board as well.

>>710168342
No. It's not that you lose friends by playing PC gaymes (or maybe it is) but rather you had no friends to introduce you to Playstation and spending all your time on the computer prohibits you from making new friends. If you do have friends they are probably lame as fuck.

Any suggestions?

>>710182954
Any recommendations for CPU? I'm poor so i'm thinking around $200
You'll have to upgrade the mobo to get anything meaningful. Save a little longer for an Intel mobo and a modern gen i5, or wait for Zen from AMD, but you'll have to get a new mobo and possibly new ram regardless

Have you ever held a ps4 controller? They are much much larger than a Ps3 controller. And is actually larger than the Xbox1 controller, which is too small for me to use. .
It's a decent rig, planning on getting ssd's before to long, and possibly changing up the card and the cpu
>>710163806
the game developers are in cahoots with the video card and other hardware manufactureres. it is perpetual upgrade theory. the hardware we have now is shittier than the hardware from 10 years ago. the games arent even worth it now. it's all DLC and unfinished bullshit. gaming in general is a waste of time and money. its just not worth it anymore.

I never said you couldn't, i was implying that there is no other online store that is adequate to steam on console. and the other half of you peasants are still buying discs.

Congrats PC has been doing that for years, about time console adopted it.
>How about them new Arkham games? Still can't get those.
Nope but every exclusive realesed by Microsoft will now be on console, not to mention i can play old Nintendo games, ps2 games, original Xbox games, a huge lists of exclusive indie games.

So using a controller on PC is a checkmate... but a Keyboard on a PS4 is now unoriginal... GREAT LOGIC.
And PC players can still use disc too, it's better for those with shit internet, as for microsoft games... eh, they aren't all that good. Halo was the best exclusive, and halo 4 and 5 are complete shit, so I'm not looking forward to the next one.
>>710163806
>Every time a new game comes out I have to pay $70 for the game plus spend $600 or more on a new graphics card and/or CPU
Well first off, no shit you pay 70 bucks for the game when it first comes out. Thats standard for all platforms. If you buy Steam keys off of third party websites, you can get brand new games for a fraction of the price. I got the new Doom game for 30 bucks plus multiplayer DLC a week after it came out.
Second, you upgrade your graphics card every time you get a new game? Shit, I have a GTX 960M, runs Fallout 4 just fine. Furthermore, you don't buy a "new CPU" every time a game comes out, you obviously have no idea what you're talking about.
Third, consoles are shit, sell your PC to someone like me who actually knows how to take care of it, then go to Walmart, buy a ShitBoxOne, and stop getting into things you're too fucking retarded to research first.
(This thread is b8, but just in case.)

>So using a controller on PC is a checkmate... but a Keyboard on a PS4 is now unoriginal... GREAT LOGIC.
You make so many assumptions, all i said was PC has been using both for years yet your "superior" console just adopted it.
>as for microsoft games... eh,
i could say the same for Arkham Games, it doesn't make it true, it is opinion based. But i have so much more options to the games i play then you ever will.
what did you do? I spend $550 dollars and build a gaming pc around 2010 and stil runs most games today in low

That's one butt mad console peasant.
Not only are pc's better than consoles they're cheaper in the long run.
Decent computer should last you 10 years for around a thousand bucks.
A ps4 toy costs 300-400 bucks + 600 dollars for 10 years of psn. PLUS they're already outdated so it looks like you need a NEO.

This.
Or at the very least we'd have a legit market for those PC "consoles" like steam machines and game designers would have better standards to build their games around.
