I was wondering if building a $500 PC would be better than the PS4. The PS4 itself has many great specs. I was wondering if this setup can beat the PS4.

So, which is better?

CPU:AMD Athlon X4 760K
MOTHERBOARD:MSI A78M-E35
GRAPHICS CARD:2GB EVGA GTX 650Ti Boost OR Radeon R7 260X
RAM:8GB Crucial Ballistix Sport
HARD DRIVE:1TB Western Digital Caviar Blue
PSU:430W Corsair CX430
CASE:Rosewill Line-M
 
Solution
The PC will be much better. Especially overclocking and future upgrading. There might be better setups than what you proposed there. If you are interested, I can set one up for you.

how about building a pc of same price tag , i mean what about adding GTX 970 to the build .....???
 


what about fx-6300
gtx 960 or gtx 970
gigabyte GA-78LMT/USB3
8 gb ddr3 1600 mhz
1 tb or 500 gb hdd
cm = any mid tower
600 w PSu
and streching budget to like $710

 


you are a big PS4 fan ...!!!
and i heard than PS4 has not been maxed out yet ..???
 
I'm a multiplatform gamer. Please don't label me as a big fan of some company or product. I support all platforms (except XBox). The PS4 has not yet been maxed out by the way. Anyone who thinks it has clearly doesn't know much about consoles (again, no fanboy, only stating facts).
 


wtf...!!! wondering when PS4 will be maxed out ....!!!
when i m gonna be old ...!!!
 


so i think it will be worth buying after few years ...!!! i mean PC
 




hehe... you cant compare PC CPUs to a PS4 even that weak cpu much better than PS4.....

CHECK THIS : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53HSbMNRiCU
AND THIS: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zrcAf_CElT0

FX 6300 will be enough for 3-4 years (8 CORE PROCESSOR) at 1080P.... you should save some money within that few years 😛... btw you can choose better CPU like fx 8350 idk but fx 6300 is much better than PS4..
 


thanks i think i m going with PC . and i will save some bucks for next few years and then i think but i will be going with GTX 980 ti and some new processor ...!!!! and i wanna be sure that this PC build beat PS4 for atleast 3-4 years ....!!!! and for now i m going with GTX 960 2GB...!!! cause it fits in my budget ..!!
 


PS4 can use GPGPU, asynchronous compute and proper multithreading. The CPU is more than enough. I bet you've never heard of async compute.
 


....??? then i should go with PS4 ...!!!
 


its not even a reason to get a ps4 .... AMD Jaguar has a lot of features.. but it cant be compared to PC processors.... if you got an AMD fx-8350.. it can run 1440p even 4k quality so in the future you only got to upgrade GPU to play games at 4k ... i bet you if you got a ps4 you'll play 1080P for 10 years and with 20 FPS 😛..
oh you'll get better performance with DX12 .... so RiP ps4
 

then how this build sounds ..????? will this beat PS4..??
processor-intel i5 4440 4th generation
motherboard-asus suitable for i5
gpu-GTX 960 2 gb ddr5
ram-8 gb ddr3 1600mhz
hdd-1 tb
case-mid tower
psu-600W cooler master
monitor-19 inch samsung 19D300HY

 


PS4 runs games at 30/60fps, not 20fps. DX12 does not mean better performance necessarily.
 


PS4 can run assassin's creed unity at 1080P with 19-22FPS... while GTX 960 can run it at 1080P with 38-42FPS ..... so please tell me if the gtx 960 beats PS4 so what about gtx 970/980/R9 295X2... and you should know that the DX12 increases more fps about +15-30 fps depends on the game ofc... (BTW... iNfamous second son optimized only for PS4 by sony and it runs with 18-24fps and fps drop sometimes )....i have a PS4 and good gaming PC... so if u want an advance ask who has the both.. dont ask someone who has a ps4 so ofc he would its better... i've tried the both.. playing advanced warfare all the time on the both and actually youll feel the diff once you move from the first of the map 😀..
 
Show me proof inFamous runs below 20fps. Show me proof that with the most recent patch PS4 runs Unity at 20fps. You can't because you don't know what you're talking about. You know nothing about the PS4.

Heck, show me proof inFamous dips below 30fps.
 




the biggest problem with ps4 is that you should buy an optimized game thou... thats stupid.. while games unoptimized on pc runs +60 No problems... and actually ive seen something a week ago says that ubisoft tried to run 1080p 30 fps on ps4 but it couldn't handle it... actually it doesnt make any sense.... but you should know if gtx 960 running a game with 40 fps so it shoud be running on ps4 with 20 fps 😛... while the graphics on PC is much better.... games are cheaper... you havent to buy PSN card to play online... you can buy a new mouse+keyboard every month for 15$.. while on ps4 the controller costs about 60$... you would say why i should buy a new controller cause the PS4 comes with 2 controllers, ill give you 2 reasons.. the first one you should buy a rubber wear (you know... rubber peeling?) the second thing and important thing, it is an electronic machine so that could be tampering any moment (water maybe for example)...


this topic can never be ended... ONE THING YOU SHOULD KNOW... PC MUCH BETTER!!!
 
No problems? Well why doesn't a GTX 960 run Unity at 60fps? Wow, you are very, very retarded. PS4's GPU is much more efficient than PC hardware. A 7850 on PC is like a 7950 or 7970 on consoles. Show me one PC game that looks better than The Order, Until Dawn, Final Fantasy XV and Uncharted 4. Every PS4 game I bought cost me $10-20. Just as cheap as PC. I get 150 games a year for $50. Why the hell do you need a new keyboard/mouse every month????????

PS4 controller comes with the console. No need to buy it. Rubber does NOT peel off on the modern PS4 controllers. Oh yeah, PC CAN BE TAMPERED WITH WATER AS WELL IDIOT. PC is NOT "much better".
 
there are people cant tell the diff between 30-60 fps like you... lol even btwen 20-30fps that kind of peope can play ps4 No-Problems ... but there are people like me who cant play games less that 60 fps..

ive tried the witcher 3 on ps4 and i sold it next day...
