Not a PC gamer, googled it this popped up.
I’m really considering getting a gaming PC but I haven’t had a PC for nearly 15 years and feel very out of touch.
I know very little about processor info or things like that but I do know that PC gaming works out a hell of a lot cheaper.
If I just wanted my games on PC just to look better than console what kind of set up will I need and how much is that gonna set me back?
Balls out.
Well the most important factor for price is whether you want to build your own PC or whether you want to buy one.
Ok, I’d probably prefer to buy one, how much would that set me back for a gaming PC on level with or better graphics / frame rate than a ps4? But if I made one myself how much cheaper/expensive will that be?
To buy a pre built system thats significantly more powerful than a ps4 you would probably be looking at around $1000. Now i havent spent hours researching, but just based on knowledge of my market thats my guess. To build a pc thats better than a playstaion, you could build one for $500 that would beat it easily.
Ok so building one would make more sense, how would I get started?
Well first of all you’d want to watch a video on how to build a computer to make sure you feel comfortable with the steps involved. I’ll tell you right now its not that hard I did it when i was 12. Here’s a link to a good one: https://youtu.be/k1Q8ksRI1Eo
That’s awesome, best part about making my own would be even if it was over 500 to make I wouldn’t be spending it all at once itd be like little investments. That’s my new hobby thanks man.
Np. Just look up a build guide or something to find a list ot parts thats good for the price range your looking at, and your golden.
Guys, can you do a seperate review of the Gainward card ?
It seems like a nice budget option.
