PC or PS4

[Zyroxeon]

do you think something along the lines of an i5-4460 and a gtx 760 would perform on par/better than a PS4 for current and upcoming games at 1080p?

of course, getting a PS4 will let me get a better screen/other stuff, but PC still has its merits for me (though kinda pricey) in many ways, along with upgradeability in future and mouse/keyboard (although either way i wouldn't mind a controller)

thx guise

A PC doesnt have to be expensive for it to outperform a ps4, something like this ( http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DDWqVn ) will outperform a ps4 and be barely more expensive. You dont need an intel processor either, the ps4 and xbox both use amd processors so why not use one in a pc 😀

Well if you are speaking of gtx 760 it can't handle some current games at max settings so i wouldn't even bother of upcoming games on 1080p at max with gtx 760. If you are that tight on budget go for PS4 or else R9 270x or R9 280x or you can wait for gtx 960. I would always recommend a custom PC rather than a console.

i5 and GTX 760 is a great combo. Heaps better than a ps4 imo and so much more you can do with it.

 

[GameOver007]

I never doubt on the i5 performance but for me that card is not strong enough to handle upcoming games on max settings

 

[Zyroxeon]

uh, are you sure that will outperform a ps4? i'm pretty sure the ps4 is on par/slightly below power of an HD7870/r9 270x, in addition to being far more optimized than a pc would be

If budget is not your problem get a GTX 970 or R9 290x

 

[Zyroxeon]

budget is a problem (in australia), maybe maxing at around $1300 (inclusive of OS and peripherals), but r9 280 is the same price as a gtx 760. would that be worth it?

 

[GameOver007]

Yup its worth it go for r9 280. Its in between the 760 and 770. GTX 770 is also a good option if you are getting it for same price.

the 260x is better then the ps4. look at this benchmark ( consider that the ps4 is running most games on 900p )

Since you live in Australia, I could pick out some parts for you? Guarantee it'd perform at least twice as well as a PS4.
