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.


Funny, PS4's APU is the strongest APU in the world. Go take a look at Final Fantasy XV, Deep Down, The Order, Killzone, Uncharted 4 and other games and then tell me it's "shit". Hint: Uncharted 4's cinematics are real time 1080p60fps and look better than any in-game cinematic.
 
i dont think so... u4 will run at 30avg fps.... as always.. i have a seen a guy says '' dont look at cutsceens they made a nice trick with beautiful cutsceens and terrible looking in-game graphics with last of us - and i see the same here in U4'' .... RIGHT!!... there are many diff between game play and trailers... im not stupid NAUGHTY-DOG like many customs... alright... all PS4 games sucks.. did u liked the last of us 😛 (Hiding like a shit).. pff it sucks.. except the u4 i think its the only game which worth to buy... especially if it was locked at 60FPS (im sure 80% it will around 35 fps, sometimes it will jump to 60 but not while playing..).. 4K revolution has been started long time and 5K displays will be everywhere so i think its will be around 300$ in 8-10 months from now..maybe a year.. anyways and 1440P GPUs are everwhere.. wait a little time for 4K GPUs to be around 400$... i believe much things from new AMD Fiji XT GPUs with a new memory technology it will kick PS4 ass.
 
WTF are you talking about.... the PS4 cant handle most of games at 1080P@60FPS and you say it can play games at 4K.. man srsly.... have you ever heard that the best APU in the world cant play assassins creed at 30 fps haha yeah thats the best APU im sure..


i think it can play minecraft at 4k haha with 19 fps 😛 just kidding xD
 
Uncharted 4 runs at 40fps. It was locked at 30fps for the demo. I loved The Last of Us, it's in my top 3 games (Age of Mythology, Infinity Blade (series), and that). Technically you can call it top 5 games. The Last of Us does not suck. Give me a reason why. Nope, Uncharted 4 runs at 40fps. Hahahahaha okay show me a cheap 32 inch 4K display. Over 40 games run at 1080p60fps on PS4. Games like Resogun could run at 4K, and other indies.
 
okay this one cost around 296.88£ on amazon its 28 inch so im wondering in 8-10 months how much it will cost ???!! 149£?

spec: 100M:1, 300 cd/m2, 3840 x 2160, 1ms, HDMI/DVI
name: Acer CB280HK
i wish i can play my best games on ps4 like : MW3 ,BO2 , ALL COD SERIES, Battlefield 3/2,need for speed and a lot of RPG games <3 (actually i prefer playing them on PC cause it has better controls on FPS GAMES)
 
haha why... i like them <3... waiting for black ops 3 😀.... and building a 4K pc only for it 😀... what you think about my build :
two gtx 980... maybe 980 ti sli
core i7 4790k OC
16 ram
win 10 (it will be available soon)
samsung 4k monitor... i think other specs doesnt matter... 😀
 
Wait for Pascal. Get only an Intel i5 - i7s are pointless for games. Get only 8Gb RAM. You can get Windows 10 right now. Get an SSD as well, and choose a proper power supply. I guarantee you that Pascal will be more than double the performance of 980Ti SLI.
 
Yeah dont expect the prices to dip down this fast , and thats only the monitor 😉 Next make a build that runs 4k games at DECENT FRAME RATES with DECENT GRAPHICS SETTINGS . Itll cost well over $2000 . Not everyone is as rich as you are . And yeah it's a 4k panel , but it's $422 , it's a TN panel and you're looking at a cheap 4k monitor which probably hasn't got great colors. So once again a PS4 is $400 , your 4K PC is well over $2400 . And we're already way off topic here , Op only got $500 to spend , AND YES IT WOULD BE BETTER THAN A PS4 . You happy now ?
 
core i5 4690k OC up to 229.99$
you can buy overkill GPU for 4k like R9 295X2 for 639.99$
PSU AROUND 80$
8GB RAM DDR3 58$
MOBO AROUND 100$
CASE 30-50$
HDD 1TB 49$
FANS 30$
CPU COOLER 25$
OS WIN 8 64BIT 100$
AND THE TOTAL AROUND 1400 WITH MOUSE ,HEADSET AND KEYBOARD.

WHERE DID U GET 2000$ PC? TITAN X?
 


now tell me whats APU cause someone in the thread mentioned ps4 apu is best in the world....!!!
 


''The AMD Accelerated Processing Unit (APU), formerly known as Fusion, is a series of 64-bit microprocessors from AMD designed to act as a CPU and graphics accelerator (GPU) on a single chip''
PS4 CPU AND GPU both sucks so doesnt matter if they were working on one chip.... the most important thing its still running games at 1080@30 fps or lower (and you will say most games running 1080@60fps, please give me a game running at 1080p@150fps on ps4 like tomb raider on my pc..actually tomb raider running lower than 60fps on ps4.)
 

wtf ...!! say it clearly that it is copied version of INTEL's integrated graphics....!!! damn you AMD .....!!!!
 


Nope, PS4's GPU doesn't suck. CPU doesn't either if it's properly used.
 
then give me a GPU that can be compared to PS4 with 4 Gb vram instead of 8gb on PS4....
check this maybe it helps you to find it... :) http://wccftech.com/playstation-4-vs-xbox-one-vs-pc-ultimate-gpu-benchmark/
 


haha but intel GPUs cant run games at 1080@10fps sadly...
 


but still.!!!! someone said PS4 apu is best in the world
if intel invented something like PS4 APU everyone will be talking about it ..!!!! and it will be some what like 100 times better than AMD APU
 


i dont care about APU if i can get better than it 1000 times... anyways... you said it can be compared to R9 280 (not R9 280X btw) ...you should know that GPU costs around 150$... and it preforms better.. at least it runs battlefield 4 1080P@50 FPS .. and i heard that ps4 runs battlefield at 900P not sure... and you can run TressFX and Free-Sync features on that GPU ... but i still recommend Nvida 960 for who wants to buy ... anyways... and yes gharsh, if intel wants to join GPU battle.. we'll be ready to say RiP ps4... (ive already said it, but for who want to be sure 100000%)


HAIRWORKS/PHYSX/4K/MFAA/SURROUND/FREE OR G-SYNC and a lot of features that PS4 missing ...
