"no trust me bro build a PC it's cheaper and better than a PS5"

$700 later

RTX 4060, Ryzen 5600X, 64 gig ram, b550 motherboard, 750v PSU, 4000d airflow case, m2 1tb SSD, hd monitor,

Still can't run FF7 Rebirth at a decent framerate

Recurring untraceable random feint burning smell that I can't get to go away no matter how much I dust everything

Don't even have access to rentals/loans and also still can't play

Still can't play astrobot

Biggest lie ever told.

Should have bought a RX7700 you fucking retard, this sounds like a you problem

I have a 5090, everything works well for me

feint

ESL

I wasn't willing to spend more than $300 on a graphics card . This was already a massive hit to my budget that barely amounted to anything but stress about weather or not I'm dealing with a $700 bomb can you imagine if it was a $900 one?

i would bring up that PCs can actually play video games, but since this is Anon Babble i realize that's not really a priority

it's cheaper

Nobody ever said that.
Console gaming has always and will always be for the poor.

Bro those are $3500 I can assure you I'm not that desperate for 8k Tifa tits

The RTX4060 is viewed as an objectively bad card you could have gotten a RX6600 for pennies, you could have gotten an RX6700 for less and that will outperform that 4060. Going Nvidia for anything less than their 4070TIs is pure stupidity

stop being a fagit. do it right. this beast will be a performer for ten years

The PC market has been shit since the pandemic

All the bad RTX4060 reviews I was seeing was from elitists upset it wasn't better than the 4050 or whatever the previous one was. One guy said it couldn't do more than 1080 like that was a thing I actually cared about.

can't run FF7 Rebirth

why would you want to do that

Recurring untraceable random feint burning smell

if you put a snoystation on top of your desk twelve inches from your nose you'd smell its processor too

rentals/loans

you do know how to pirate games, don't you? why are you trying to pay for video games? are you dense?

still can't play astrobot

this is your only legitimate criticism

RTX 4060

buying anything less than the xx80 card is an act of fools

You understand that $3399 is a bigger number that $700 right?

Why are you so poor?

the point is you are paying more money for less, and you are complaining about price? So you are willing to pay the 150 dollar Nvidia tax and in the same vein complain about a PC priced in the same price range? You could save yourself money and outperform the console and run FF7 just fine with an RX6700

consoles are to play AAA slops meanwhile PC is to play either wow or some indie crap that is actually better than the AAA slops

I will go with a rtx 3050 and ryzen 7 5700g, 32gb of ram and no one will change my mind with le pc master race, pc are way too expensive, specially because if you thought scalpers were assholes with consoles, in the GPU market is even worse, damn crypto cunts

he can't push 4k to over 144fps

Poverty

PC was cheaper and it was significantly better for the cost 6 years ago

I mean this used to be true, it's definitely not anymore.

But you're just being a faggot.

23 and graduating high school into covid and then cloud computing college into an AI world will do that

750 PSU

why?
Also this

70's and 60Ti's are fine on a budget
60 and below are basically throwing money away though, yeah. paying 80% of the price of an actual functional card for what is instead essentially a doorstop is not actually a savings.

Almost nothing can nowadays, excluding multiframe gen. PS5 Pro runs call of duty at 4k/120fps. $699 as well.

Still can't play astrobot

Okay OP, you got me with that one

if you actually want a machine that does something, the ps5 is a non-starter. sure it gets good framerates but it has maybe 100 video games tops, and if you want to use it for something other than video games or blu-rays you're fucked
my PC can play every video game made before 2022, for free. and most of the good ones made since then, also mostly for free.

PC cant play Astrobot, Gran Turismo 7, Bloodborne, Demons Souls Remake, Astros Playroom, Stellar Blade, on top of having to wait years just to play an old console game haphazardly ported to PC. Spending thousands of dollars just to get royally cucked by someone who spent $399.

Had a 4.6 on Newegg. This is my first build. Like I said before I was trying my best to sift through all the BS and just figure out if it was adequate to run currently released games at a decent framerate and according to rec specs it should have been.

>RTX 4060, Ryzen 5600X, 64 gig ram, b550 motherboard, 750v PSU, 4000d airflow case, m2 1tb SSD, hd monitor,

lmao what is this build
you got 64gigs of ram but bought a 4060?
clearly you are clueless

my pc can play mario
my chinese phone can play mario
can your ps5 play mario?

Half of that is from my old school PC they never asked for back for the record.

I bought a bad GPU that cost way more than the performance of similar cards because

well because I didn't want to spend more money

no I don't care that alternative cards cost the same and perform better

Okay then

Why don't you go download a whole bunch of ROMs then? have fun getting viruses and letters from your ISP

You cheaped out on the most important part for video games and you're mad video games run bad.

dedicated vidya machines always have the edge on current releases, this has been the case since the 80s and arcade machines. where PCs have the edge is in literally all of the millions of games that did not happen to come out within the last twenty months. you are also using a two year old card anon, and one that was already meant for budget gamers even when it came out, so i dont know why youd think it could run a game from six months ago at max setting unless you were very gullible.

have fun getting viruses and letters from your ISP

are you living in 2005?

I don't have a computer at all
What should I get?

have fun getting viruses and letters from your ISP

lol

grab a prebuilt on craigslist and upgrade the graphics card (and PSU if necessary)
this is the ultimate redpill

Skill issue

buying used is gross and icky

ITT: people surprised a normal ass guy with no job who just wanted to play his sword slop hasn't even seen more than $1k let alone spent it on anything

Louie.png - 250x187, 56.69K

be 2018

get an RX 580 and a Ryzen 5 1600

final build came in at just over $600

ffw to this year

got my taxes back so figured I'd treat myself

get a used 6700 XT

upgrade ram to 32gb

get a 850w PSU

get a 5600x

for $500 my shitbox will game for another 4+ years

Feelsgoodman. Get better at picking parts and factor in what games you play into your budget. You could get away with an $60 Dell with a Core I7 and an RX 550 if all you want to play is Skyrim with mods and shitpost.

You can't unzip files, play Dwarf Fortress, or mod games on the PS5 you fucking retard.
Consoles are meme-appliances because it's like buying a toaster that can only toast wonderbread, while bitching that a more expensive toaster can toast every kind of bread.
Explain to me why the fuck I would want or need a PS5 to mod Trespasser, when it can't do that simple task.

A Geforce now subscription is like 19 a month and you get a 4090 at 120fps as long as you don't mind an extra 10ms latency (and have good internet)

Someone build me a pc I have a $2000 budget

Literally just pick a GPU that you want to center your build around, and build everything around that.
If you're going for an 80 series+ card, don't skimp on RAM like a retard and don't pick a CPU that'll bottleneck it either.
Motherboard and whatnot are meme purchases, just pick something that's not bargain-bin quality and you're fine.

i thought 4060 is like 2080

bought a $3k pc

play 20yo games on it

lol same

i bought a $2k gaming PC recently but I got a cute hapa girlfriend at around the same time and I've just being hanging out with her all the time. She gives me no time to game. Should I just sell the damn thing?

same and im a bit mad about it, because I dont even like new AAA slop

At least 90% of old games are playable on new hardware.

Performance kinda sucks after a few years:

Should get a new GPU

Oh wait, CPU bottle necks the GPU performance, so I need a new CPU as well

Need a new Mother Board for new CPU

Need new RAM sticks since DDR6 will be the standard and they aren't backwards compatible

Need a new PSU since newer GPUs need more power

The only thing reusable is the PC case and by then you're probably tired of looking at the same old tower all these years and maybe your cooling system.

The floppy drive is eternal

bro the PS5 is still a 700 dollar investment. for just a few shekels more you can have a much better experience. you're a gay if you don't realize this.

Has to repurchase/pay to upgrade each game you already own to make use of console 2.0 performance that you already paid for.

I just slide settings from High to Ultra on new build while having access to accumulated library.

Still have leftover useful machine to serve as multipurpose entertainment machine.
