This is a chart that gives you the idea about how much cheaper PC is and the build I made is actually very similar too the build I have listed. There are other reasons why you should switch

Better Game Selection- PC has a better game selection overall you can't deny it there's multiple stores to buy from, tons of free games, lots of genres not widely available on Console.

Better Graphics this is very obvious one but its another to add because we like beautiful games and if you don't then would you rather play watch dogs or battlefield 4 on a NES or a PC?

Mods - PC has lots of Mods that can improve games/ make new games out of old games, Modding is frowned upon on Consoles and some Developers on PC go out of the way to make the game friendly to mods.

More Hardcore/Casual - There's more super hardcore players and we all seen those guys playing StarCraft for hours upon hours without stopping and then there's casual players playing Minecraft or casual indie games.


There's many more pros to be listed but I don't want this thread to be too long

I've ordered the first few parts for my PC build.

Should have it all ready and set up to play games the way they were meant to be played by July.

Link me to a completed build with keyboard, mouse etc... That can run almost all games at 60fps at high detail with less than $500. Good luck!

Define all games. Are we talking about poor console ports? If yes then probably not because of how poorly they are done.
Games build for PC in mind? If yes ,More than likely.

even then idk if he specified a monitor if u take that hundred away then upgrade to a i3 or 6300 and it should be more then enough to at least play hard to run/ shit ports on medium/high but most games that are decently made will run well after a small overclock is done to the cpu.
