I’ve been wanting to build a Pc for a while now and had been hoping to build one with better specs than the ps5. Now that we know what to expect from the PS5 pro as well as the price ($700) I’m curious what a similar or somewhat superior pc build would cost and what kind of parts I would want to look at? I know you can’t make something that’s going to perform exactly the same but I’m curious regardless. Honestly I’ll probably be going higher-end than that (~$1500 range) but it seems like a good starting point.
Something like Ryzen 5 / high i5/low i7 with 4060Ti or 6800XT/7700XT. I think you’ll be better off going a bit higher than that. But then again, a pc does more than just gaming so if you would want it just to game with a console has better optimisation for lower price.
Something else to have in mind, some times they’re like a printer, the device is relatively cheap but you have to buy other stuff to actually have it working.
In PC you can find several places to buy and download games (even when it feels like only one or two exist), in console you only have the manufacturer.
In PC as long as you have internet you can play multiplayer, in console you have to subscribe to their online services.
