It's hard to say because by mid 2021 where going to have 2 generations of PC advancement since then.

If your smart there's definately good deals out there. Brother just bought a discounted PC at microcenter and then put $260 in it upgrading SSD, powersupply, and video card. 6 core Intel processor, more than enough ram, and near GTX 1080 performance all in for $540.

Give it 2 generations of advancement and that same priced PC might be faster than the console.

If you've already invested in PC then re-using parts is a big factor also in terms of value. I can't open my PS4 and upgrade it to PS5 specs at a discount. I can on PC though, for example if 2021 rolls around and I want to upgrade I can re-use most of my PC into the new build (powersupply, aftermarket CPU heatsink, case, copy of windows, 4k disc drive, SSD). Being able to re-use your initial investment is great

I'm replacing my computer this summer

Antec 900 case, AMD R9 290, i7 3770k with z77 motherboard/msi cpu cooler, SSD, 12gb ddr3, windows 10

Just trying to get an idea of what I can get for it. It's nothing fancy but it's still a decent office computer with some 1080p gaming capabilities.

I was thinking maybe sell it to some local kid for like $350 ??

Might even be less than $800. My brothers i5 office computer was $300 at microcenter and he paid $300 to upgrade the powersupply/video card. i5 with 1060 6GB is better than the XboxX and it only cost him about $600 total.

My At&t LG G2 is on its final leg (camera is acting up and i believe the wifi sensor is broken). I'm going to do a system restore in the next few days and if it doesn't fix at least the camera issues i'll be getting a new phone.

I don't want to blow a ton of money on a phone but want something at least as good as the G2. What are some sub $200 options I could be looking at ? (I was thinking maybe just get a used G3 or G4). I'm not sure if theres any brand new phones under 200 so i was looking mostly used options

Another question, is it as simple as taking my old sim card out and putting it in the new phone ? (i'll back all the photos/contacts to my computer). Does the provider have to activate the new phone or will the phone activate itself once recognizing the sim ?

Thank You

Not really surprised (this generation has been an absolute insult to gaming).

Most of the hyped/heavily advertised games this generation have turned out to be barely worth renting (The division, dying light, titan fall, halo 5, the order 1866, doom 4, watchdogs, previous IPs that have been milked out like madden/call of duty/assassins creed).

I don't even think there has been 5 must play games this entire generation (pretty pathetic since it's been almost 3 years).

Wrong forum (these two sections are more suited for your question).

I agree with this. In three years they basically go from a 7850 to a 7970ghz and the same cpu just clocked higher (pretty pathetic for three year jump, especially considering the ps4 was considered lower mid level when it came out).

Exclusives and games this generation have been terrible also (overrated and over-hyped games like the order 1866, the division, titanfall, dying light, halo 5, watchdogs....ect have all plagued the industry).

I remember the last 6 months of 2001 the ps2 released Metal Gear solid 2, Jak and Daxter, Final fantasy 10, GTA 3, Twisted Metal Black, and Gran Turismo 3.

You could EASILY argue that 6 months of a single console is superior to almost 3 years of two consoles combined....... (thats how pathetic games/exclusives are now a days).

If you don't have the games or physical hardware, what exactly are you offering the enthusiast/hardcore gamer ? (I agree 100% with you, hardcore gaming is becoming a thing of the past).

You could EASILY argue that 6 months of a single console is vastly superior to almost 3 years of two consoles combined....... (thats how pathetic games/exclusives are now a days).

It's sad but graphics are all people really have to argue now a days

Embarrassing.

Last generation the first console released (xbox360) was using a GPU equivalent to a $500 desktop GPU.

A brand new console in 2016 is using a GPU similar to a $500 GPU from 2011...... (are you fucking kidding me?)

In three years we go from a 7850 to an overclocked 7970ghz and the same CPU just overlocked ? (along with no UHD player).

Someone texted me the news at work and I thought it was a 100% joke.
