now heres some thing to think about when i build a pc i save up 2000$ ish
then i do some thing nuts like
get a amd FX 8359 eight core cpu at 4GHz a core
(most games run in a duo core right now and most popular gaming rigs are built with a quad)
then i go for 16 gigs of low latency
then you do some thing like cross fired AMD Radeon HD 7950s
now i have so mutch extra system preformance (not over clocked) it makes most people sick that dont understand why i would build that lol
but heres the up side
its good for the next 4 to 6 easy with nothing done to it when i do upgrade its just the graphics cards and im 4k ready and suport 3D
i never need to devote more then 2 cores to a game unless it can handle more and i pay less then building a 6-800$ rig
get a bug anuff psu becuase the plugs will probly be the same plugs 10 years from now so a good 1000W or 12000W psu is a good
and i was able to save up for this current rig after running a 500$ labtop in to the ground. pc gaming is cheap and you get money back if you go with steam and there summer sale and xmas sale. you can get things from 10% off to 80% off and were talking games up to 60$ a pop. so with things like steam you actualy save more money on your games making PC gaming even more afordable then a console and its 60$ a game and tax with comes to like 68$ or wat ever. plus to boot you can build a PC a part at a time so if you find a good parts shop. you can some times save up to 100$ on what ever your buying. you also cant forget the bigger deals from some stores were they have clearance sales. I've seen 2 gig sticks of low latency ram with a built in heatsink go for 16$ each. I've seen a half deacent motherboard with fx 8359 eight core cpu for about 380$ you just godda shop around.
lol im gonna shut up soon but last note i have an xbox 360 and 80+ games for it 4 controllers and 2 turtle beach xp400's total price
games came to 5280$ console when brand new was like 500$ and the headsets 200$ each controllers about 40$ each and then my console broke so i had to get a second one so i think i spent 300-400$ on that total price for my xbox 360 over its life span
6640$ over the consoles life time thats excluding things like the 60$ membership for xbox live with costs at least 4-600$ and thats not counting the times i could only aford it a month at a time.
so you tell me whats better i spend 4k on my rig and my 200+ steam games or 6600+ on my 360 and my 80 games
if i planned to equal out the costs i could still build a second computer better then the one i have or i can spend it on upgrades and probly have this rig till the xbox one and ps4 are replaced with new consoles i can play all my old games on my pc and ill still have money left over to buy yet more games.
