PS4 vs PC (My Build)

[XSlayerAssassinX]

My cousin thinks a PS4 is better then this build, and he's not believing me when i tell him the graphics and performance will completely obliterate this, and he thinks a PS4 in general , (buying games) will be cheaper. Even though PC has Steam, and origin. Can someone tell him the performance difference between these.

Much better than a console, 60fps and not 30fps and higher detail

depends on the games, far cry 4 aswell as a few others dont look any different on pc max settings,

This build is slightly more balanced, the 960 is a bit much for an i3, and I didn't want to downgrade your GPU. This is just a few dollars more than yours but still under 600 and will perform much better.

The PS4 does a good job but does not match a PC and will be lower fps http://gearnuke.com/far-cry-4-ps3-vs-ps4-vs-pc-image-comparison-shows-solid-effort-platforms/

The i3 cannot even handle all games on the market right now. I would have to say the PlayStation 4 it's better.

^agreed, a PS4 is better than that build.

What? The only weak spot is the CPU which might hold back on CPU intensive games but turning the setting down to console level will sort that. On the rest of games it will be way better than a PS4

That's simply not true.

the 2nde PC build is not an I-3 its a I-5. So the bild is juist fine and gonna be better for most games then PS4

this is true, i didnt account for fps just graphical fidelity.

The PC is more detailed per screenshots in link. Not a huge difference but quite visible

i3 is plenty powerful, a g3258 will out pace consoles.
