$1200 isn't that much...
>>703721521
It's an investment that has return over time. Especially since I play mostly F2P. Doubles as a productivity platform if you're in school. Lasts probably 2 console generations unless you desire GPU upgrades.

>>703721997
How the fuck does a gaming PC return over time you moron? A gaming PC is not an appreciating asset. It's not a stock portfolio.
It's a depreciating asset. It loses it's value over time. If you buy a top of the line gaming PC for 2k, in a couple years, you'd be lucky if it's worth half.
>dude, $400 is all you need to game on console
>sweet. how many games do you have?
>one. it came with the console. i can get more, but they're ONLY $60 each...
>>703721521
if $1200 is to much for you, then you might as well get a console.

>>>SPENDING OVER 500 JUST TO TRY OUT PC GEIMU
Just have 500 as your budget and build from there, are people fucking stupid? " DUDE PC MASTER RACE $1200 LMAO" just spend what you can, i got my first pc for 475 and runs the games i want to play perfectly fine, so get over this whole "HURR DURR SO EXPENSIVE" meme cause yeah it's expensive but so is a console over the course of you owning me and having to buy games. I'm not saying you don't save on pc, but doing the math, no one is gonna spend 5000 dollars and say their pc is better then a console and say it's viable.
Now for me i can cause i spent 475 but even then that's a lot but a computer is a computer, not just for games, it's a investment that'll pay back over time so get over yourself
>>703722590
Nah, he's just speaking in actual financial terms. Doesn't mean I'd never get a gaming PC, though. If you love it, it's worth the money I guess.
I'd rather buy a PS4 Pro.

>>703721521
Because he wanted to spend 1200 you can make a budget build that'll beat a console if that's what you want. People often want to go watch beyond that though.
>>703721521
i know this is bait but i honestly laugh when i read shit like this, if you cant afford $1200 for a decent gaming rig then you really shouldnt be spending your time playing video games anyway imo

I spent 2k on mine with my own money. Don't be mad at everyone else because you're to fat and lazy to pick up work

is there anyone in the world who thinks $1200 is a lot? i got a decent job after college and my own place and had that in like a month

I mean, I have a gaming mouse and keyboard, it doesn't work any better than my old stuff, I just like the fancy shit on it
>>703723384
Not who you replied to but I use my 40 inch TV as my monitor, mouse is like 15 bucks for a plain one, but I paid 30 for a good one, keyboard was 60, but only because I like having certain features, controller is 25 bucks for a wired 360 controller, and my system, which can play all but certain games, cost me about 800. Only because I went with higher cost items for a few things, cheaping out on case and power supply. Pirated games, pirated OS.
My rig isn't the best (no 4k video or shit like that) but it looks pretty sweet, runs most games pretty well, and I only have maybe $200 into in in craigslist parts. If you are ok with used stuff you can build a decent rig for cheap

Not exaclty. But close
Own a PC and console enjoy both for various reasons the while one platform is better than another is for fucking retards with too much time on their hands. Both have their pros and cons neither one is godly despite your shitty preferences.
>>703724141
No yeah I get that. I would appreciate some extra keybinds for some games or for a pretty glow whenever I turn my shit on. But it still isn't necessary for a rig ya know?
That being said, it does make for a nice upgrade if you get a bonus on your paycheck or something in the future.
If you dont have the money to just straight up build one at once just order a part or two at a time and even if you have a crappy 10 dollar an hour job you could budget and have all the parts by 2-3 Months. You can drop around 750-900 (or even less in some cases) and build something that will run anything you want.
After you have one built and learn how to torrent, buy keys from G2A, and hit good at F2P games, you'll never want to go back to console.

Return over time in this case would be expressed by considering the savings produced on a pc platform as dividends. Iirc, save 30 bucks buying a game on steam - considered $30 ROI.
>>703724595
Not really the case when you have siblings who want to come over get drunk eat and play fifa and fighting games.

There are places in the USA, that use the federal minimum wage. 7.25
say you work 40 hour weeks. thats 290 a week, and 1160 a month, BEFORE taxes.
now lets assume your paying like 500 dollars for a small place in rent. lets assume for arguments sake, water and electricity is apart of your rent.
you still got to pay for internet, depending where you live, it ranges, but about 100 bucks a month. now most single people will eat on about 100-150 dollars a week, so lets say 100*4=400
you've got 160 dollars at the end of the month, for what? fucking gas for your car?

That's for the people that can afford such a luxury. PC gaming doesn't have to be expansive. A $700-build pc can run modern games are better settings than console. Also, don't fall for the "gaming keyboard/mouse" meme. Regular ones can do the trick.

Not the guy but do you have a TV? There's a monitor dipshit. Mouse and keyboard? OK tack on 30-60 bucks. Do you have old 360 or ps3 controllers? If no, add 30. So let's do math. 400 for console vs 400 for PC. But PC has better graphics and more uses. And if you are smart, free games vs 60 bucks a game.

Actually that was first upgrade. Next is a larger power supply to make way for a larger graphics card. Only 500w right now, but a buddy selling an over clocked, gently used gtx970 for like 200. By gently used, he had it for a month before he got a huge bonus and raise so he's upgrading too.

>>703726427
goodwill pretty much throws away keyboards and mice. More than likely you have a 1080p tv already so just use that.
>MUH RESPONSE TIMES
nigga if you been console gaymen on a tv for all of your life you won't notice or care about 1ms response time. At least now you'll be able to play at 1080p natively @60fps and not 900p upscaled @30ish

What annoys me is when people replace their case and ALL the peripherals with every upgrade, spending hundreds of dollars on just new not even better versions of shit they already have and they make up for it by gimping on the CPU and GPU.
And then they rigorously defend their compromised CPU/GPU choice as the best thing on the market with "best bang for your buck" arguments.
The beauty of PC is being able to upgrade the different components separately for best results as you are able.

>>703721997
lololol... Two console generations? What the fuck are you smoking? A $1200 pc built in 2013 would already be failing at most games on decent settings at 1080p. Doom, TW3, even world of warcraft with the newest update. Processors of that price range are fucked and most people went with 8gigs of ram in 2013, which is now not even close too acceptable.
There is no return either. A PC is needed regardless of cost or intended purpose. Either you need it and you have one, or you don't. It can be a $100 used laptop or a $5000 server build.
>>703727793
IMO, including the cost of a monitor with a PC isn't justifiable since most people wouldn't include the cost of a tv with a console.
>>703727662
Razer is garbage. Cheap chinese switches. And have the audacity to overcharge you for their bs. Yeah you can get a mech for 50 but if you want rgb lighting and good quality youre not going to be getting a decent one for under 120

A 4790K won't work worse in CAD in 5 years than now, it's not going to bottleneck games in the near future.
GTX780 is pretty outdated, will probably opt for the GTX1070/80 in a while. Money is earned a lot but spent little.

PC's can be cheap and accommodate what new videos games demand, you just have to know how to build them. Most people don't want to learn that shit, easy as it maybe,they just want something that will work out of the box

yeah never thought of that, I didn't really think of that because where I live in, there is a grey area where you don't need insurance if you ride a motorcycle, like I do. you just have to have 30,000$ in medical insurance. but since theres no way to prove or disprove you have or haven't got that, cops can't even ask you for that, they just assume you don't.

Then let's talk along those lines. When I built my PC, I had a 9 an hour job. I bought piece by piece over a year. Had a PC that cost me around 500, a TV that my brother gave me, a 14 dollar mouse, and a 30 dollar keyboard. It took time and bargain bin diving, but it is 100% possible

No but I assumed less, there are harder hit places then 9 dollar an hour, where I lived for awhile, the min, was federal, at $7.25 Some places are just too poor, for someone to reasonably afford any sort of gaming rig. Most those folks out there use the public library for wifi...

I agree, buying a PC over console if you've got the means... I will be a PC fag until I die or something WAYY better comes along. im a huge RTS fag.
I'm just making the argument towards OP that no, realistically, MOST of the world CANNOT afford, 1200 dollars on a single ticket item, that literally adds no value to your time.
I built my rig for about 1k in 2014, runs everything on ultra, I don't play the latest games but I do take advantage of steam sales where I pick up games for $10 or less that I would've payed $60 at launch. There are always better deals on pc games. I got fallout 4 + season pass for < $60 when it became available for preorder from green man gaming. I play on pc bc I refuse to play my games at shit performance levels.

I blame mobile gaming as the root of this problem, and the PC and Console markets have falling so low that companies want to actually merge the two markets. End the end that's only going to add to the further decline of PC and Console gaming
I spent just under $300 upgrading mine. Motherboard, cpu, gpu, power supply. I can run most newer games at around 35-40 fps on average, some games I get 60.
I got a deal on my 550ti and 400w power supply though, I think that costed me around 80.

>Hell just installation of the loop is harder than building a pc
Tower Design elevates all those issues you speak of, if you knew anything you'd know that making your own custom tower is pretty much the epoch, after that you can designed everything around it , including the cooling system. If you built the tower yourself then the wartersystem you designed for that tower would be perfect for it, installation wouldn't be a problem.

Temperature varied across your system, they are way to inconsistent ,that's usually marks bad airflow. There's eddies of stale air being formed, allowing heat to build, the tell tell sine was across your storage,there is no reason for such difference in temperature between the drives

Maximum damage control
I paid 400€ for my PC.
important specs:
i5 quad 3.2ghz
nvidia gtx 960
8GB RAM
1TB HDD
I run witcher 3 on 1080p / ultra settings with 60fps (max refresh rate for my monitor)
I don't need some overpriced, under-performing console.
The only console-exclusive I ever cared about was Final Fantasy X. And before its HDD remake released on PC earlier this year, I simply emulated it.
I pirate games to try them out, and if I like them, I add them to my steam library.
I get all the mods I ever want.
Beyond that, I just pay 30€ per month for 50k internet access and all-net flat.
My PC was cheaper than any console, it performs better than current gen, and I have virtually all games for free, unless I decide to buy them out of admiration.
$600 gets a pretty decent machine

>>703733173
my pc cost just over 400 and runs games at higher performance than consoles. and i bought it in parts instead of buying 400 up front on a game system. sure you could save the money and then pay for the console up front, but then you need to understand that for graphics, a pc will typically run better at the same price range as a console. so prices are similar, with PC ranging at higher, but bang for buck is typically better on a PC.

LOL at everybody saying they can build a pc for $400-$500 that can perform better than a console. you can barely play games at a decent framerate with that shitty machine. which is ok but then you end up spending over 1K on a pc to play with good gfx. and then you spend even MORE upgrading your video card or cards and other shit just to make your pc perform a little bit better. all that just so your e-friends wont make fun of you.

Hello its me baby
If you're fine with used parts for the same price as consoles you can get a better rig. Won't run everything maxed but console doesn't run things higher graphics and fps than pc anyways. Although they are used parts. So there's that
