PC Gamers, how has your experience with your PC gaming rig been? How much did it cost you when you built it/ bought it and how much did you invest in upgrades? Is the graphical superiority to consoles existent, in your experience, and is it worth the money?

When I built my PC back in 2010, it cost me $1600. I've since added an aftermarket heatsink ($65), a BluRay Disc drive ($100), a new case ($100), and a new graphics card ($300).

My experience with PC gaming has been a mixed bag. In regard to games that I've also played on consoles (GTA IV, Far Cry 2, Resident Evil 5, and Dead Space), the only one that looked significantly better in terms of raw graphical output was GTA IV. On the PS3, it was a blurry mess plagued by low resolution textures, but on PC it's much sharper and the textures are clearer. However, though all of the others sport better post-processing effects (AA and AF), they don't look much better, if better at all, in terms of raw graphical output.

With more recent multiplatform games, such as BF3 and Crysis 3, I can't comment on their console counterparts as I've never played them and have sold my PS3 and XBOX 360. However, I can say that they look amazing on PC, as I can play them at 1920 x 1080 with all settings maxed and experience amazing performance.

In regard to exclusive titles, such as Crysis and Crysis Warhead, the graphical leap is huge, even to this day. The games sport much higher texture resolutions, more realistic physics, realistic water rendering, and very large, open environments. I've never seen anything of their caliber on current-generation consoles.

Overall, I'd say that the graphical superiority is present, though its significance varies according to whether a game is also available on console or is a PC exclusive. I also think that the superiority is worth the money I've put into my machine.

I bought mine forever ago, and it performed well for a few years. I spent around $1700 IIRC. Gonna be putting together a small form-factor HTPC next, instead of a full gaming rig.

My PC is nothing special, I built it last year for about £600. It's an i5 2500k, 16GB of RAM and a GTX 560 ti 448 core edition graphics card. Graphics wise it's certainly beyond any of my consoles, but the real reasons I love gaming on my PC over my consoles are much more than just higher resolutions and fancier post processing.

On my PC I can enjoy fantastic free mods (I'm looking at you Brutal Doom) and masses of older titles (Cheers, gog!) for practically free as well as getting my new releases cheaper and enjoy essential little extra touches like having a few episodes of some TV show running on another monitor, hopping into a mumble server or Skype chat or even just being able to ALT + Tab out to quickly look something up.

Gaming on a PC for me isn't just about adding some graphical bells and whistles, it's a much more capable platform no matter what angle you're looking from.

I spent about £800 on my newest PC 2 years ago, taking advantage of some deals, and it's safe to say it blows the new gen of consoles away

About £750 then I added to it, so it's probably around £1000 total.

I feel like it's worth it. I like having a clear display and a smooth gameplay experience(120Hz display)

My point is that the supposed superiority of plasma tvs to monitors is irrelevant to this thread as plasma tvs aren't incompatible with PCs. You're starting a stupid argument.

I assume a 3570K and a 670 are better. Probably upgrade the GPU in a year or two

I'd like to mention that another awesome thing about PC gaming is free and/ or cheap digital downloads of games. My HD 7970 came with a code that enabled me to download three free games of my choice; I chose Tomb Raider, Dirt: Showdown, and Far Cry 3 (though I think my key-code for Far Cry 3 has expired; I should have downloaded it immediately). I also got three free key-codes from a friend I made via steam; the key-codes were for Dead Space 3, Crysis 3, and Battlefield 3.

It's hard to say since I usually sell my stuff on Ebay or to friends before doing any major upgrades, which is what I didi two years ago.

My estimate would be around $1600. But I actually spent about half that out of pocket, since I sold all my previous gear.

It DEMOLISHES the PS4 - but it's nto unexpected at that price point ;)

It's two GTX 680's in SLI with an i7. Both the GPU's and the CPU are oveclocked. My CPU runs at 4.7 Ghz, my GPU's at +600 Mhz on the RAM and + 50mhz on the GPU.

I'm running on a 2560x1440 IPS monitor or my 1080p 60" TV (but seldomly).

He has done this before.

It's OK BRHD. You and I both know that the PC has an HDMI out, and the TV has an HDMI in.

I'm not sure what GioVela's point is. Probably that 'most hermits' have their rig connected to 'jittery garbage lcd' or something.

for kepler cards, it's better to give the actual overclocks (Mhz) rather than the how much it increased as each card boosts differently

Intel 2600K @3.4GHz
MSI GD65-P67a

8GB of Corsair Vengence

Asus GTX 580 1.5GB

Gigabyte GTX 460 1GB

Corsair AX750 Gold

Samsung 830 128GB SSD

Corsair Force GT 240GB

Corsair H100 with SP120's Quiet Edition fans

Corsair 600T with AF120's Performance Edition fans

Yep. I JUST Picked up Arkham Origins for $37 at green man gaming.

Console gamers will have to fork over $60 for that game.

But it causes the PSU to suck in hot air from the GPUs

I started in 2007 with a Intel E7300 and a 4670 1GB. Boy it was good times. MY E7300 made it to 3.3GHz on stock volts, normal clock speed was 2.6GHz! My current rig consists of:

Intel 2600K @3.4GHz

MSI GD65-P67a

8GB of Corsair Vengence

Asus GTX 580 1.5GB

Gigabyte GTX 460 1GB

Corsair AX750 Gold

Samsung 830 128GB SSD

Corsair Force GT 240GB

Corsair H100 with SP120's Quiet Edition fans

Corsair 600T with AF120's Performance Edition fans

1TB Samsung 7200 Spinpoint F3

Heres the inside.


Jesus christ, have some dignity and fix those cables man.

I'm more of an Nvidia guy. Plus Nvidia works better at Folding At Home compared to AMD. My first two cards were from ATi though. The 4670 and the beastly 4870.

Is Giovela/M3Boarders resorting back to talking about his plasma in every thread again?

Don't really know the exact figure I spent on my current gaming PC as I'm upgrading often, without replacing the entire machine and starting from scratch.

Important specs are:

I7 2600K @ 4.4 Ghz

Nvidia 670 GTX (OC'd)

8 GB RAM

1080p monitor

It outmatches the next gen consoles, and I have no regrets over being a PC gamer, it's been a worthwhile investment, as my rig sees quite a lot of use. Next upgrades I have in mind is a new graphics card, and a 1440p monitor.
