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

Well, I rarely pay $40 for pc games, and prices for PC parts seem to fluctuate a lot depending where you buy them from.

And it seems with PC you need to be constantly paying money to upgrade parts due to technology always evolving and games constantly require you to build up your specs for their games.

This is just what i've heard from friends around me, I have never really looked into PC gaming myself so.

PC Gaming has always seemed like a big investment for one to get into, how much is it to get into it? I don't have a huge amount of money.

If you buy good parts you don't have to upgrade every year and also you buy good stuff to start and if your into one major game like Skyrim or Arma then you buy parts that it benefits and they fluctuate based on location and demand and PC is more expensive because it isn't just a console its also a computer so add the price of both of those and you realise PC isn't that expensive

The freedom to do a lot with your game on pc exceeds what the consoles will ever be able to do, if you want to make a modification on your console sony and Microsoft will be on your ass for fucking intellectual property bullshit and jailbreaking can be costly if you need to downgrade and you get ylods and other problems like that. With pc you can easily change things to your liking and swap out parts when you need to. Pc is open to do whatever you want to do with it but consoles you can't do jack shit when it comes to changing/ modifying something. (on OFW)
