GTX960 STRIX with i5-4460 or PS4

[karst2002]

I'm looking to get into pc-gaming, but i need someone to make the decision for me.
PS4 or 960STRIX with 4460??? These are my specs:
Power-Supply = Seasonic M12ii 520w EVO
Motherboard = GA-B85-HD3 rev2.0
CPU = Celeron G1840
RAM = 2X4GB Crucial Ballistix
CPU cooler = stock
HDD's = WD blue 250GB & Maxtor 80GB & Hitachi 112GB
SSD = Samsung 850 250GB
So What should i do??? I wanna play games like AC Unity and Far Cry 4.
(I was planning to put a DEEPCOOL Frostwin in there as well, good idea???)

Definitely go the PC route. You would have no problems playing FC4 on very high/ultra settings with that setup. AC Unity is a bad performer but you should still get over 40fps if you tweak a few settings.

You are getting better looking games, modding capabilities, upgrade able, you can plug your ps4 controller into the PC for AC etc if you wanted to..

Games a way cheaper, there are more and Steam sales are awesome

A decent article to read to help you make your decision

Firstly you have to be happy with the decision within yourself

THe beauty of the PS4 or any console is everything is contained in one unit and the games are optimized for that system. PC gaming allows you to customise things like the graphics settings and use third party chat software, as a general rule the gaming experience will always be better on PC. The gtx960 is a sweet spot card designed for the 1080p gamer. Meaning if you have a monitor up to 28 inches for example then that card will be more than up to the task. Remember that "medium" settings of PC will still beat console graphics.

Probably the weakest link in that system is your existing CPU, the Celeron G1840 is only a low end duel core CPU... for gaming you ideally want a quad core and the 4460 would be more than sufficient.

Best of luck and hope this helps

Oh fuck i forgot to say that I already have a GT610. not that i can play anything on that card.... but still.

i5-4460 and GTX 960 are far superior to PS4. You will play Far Cry 4 with 1080p@60fps with a couple of dips every now and then compared to 900p@30fps on PS4. That should be enough information. The rest of your components look good, you don't have to upgrade anything else.
