[SOLVED] PS5 or PC upgrade

[kristijan.susnik]

I either will upgrade my graphics card whic will cost 350 or buy a PS5 whic will probably be 400 and defilinetly not 500 dollars.I like playing videogames in mid-range(don't like low range,high range is good but I won't play that much for it)as I have played mid range my whole gaming time and watching films.Whic should I choose?My Pc has:i7-7700k,8GB RAM,1TB HHD,228GB SSD,GTX 1050TI 2GB whic I'l upgrade to AMD Radeon Sapphire Nitro+ special edition whic comes whit The Division 2,Resident Evil 2 remake and Devils May 5(not sure what is the exact name of it).All of these games are for free and would cost 150 if I were to buy them seperatly,ASRock H110M-DVS motherboard and I will also need to upgrade my monitor.

Mind sharing the make and model of your PSU? You will also need to link in the card you're looking at from AMD since we don't want you to upgrade and find out the previous card was on the same level albeit without money spent.

http://sapphirenitro.sapphiretech.com/en/590-SE.html That is the link to the card im going to buy.The price for it's preformace is really good.And my PSU.I really can't remember what my PSU is.Is there a way to check all the PC's stats?

Country?

For the PC vs PS - consider the cost of games as well as realistic life expectancy of the GPU vs console. The PS gives you the ability to play splitscreen with friends (no idea why PC versions of games are completely devoid of this functionality)

Opening up the side panel and looking at the sticker on the side of your PSU will reveal the PSU's make and model. I just noticed one thing, why did you go with a K suffix processor part on the H110 chipset? You can't overclock on that motherboard and the processor truly comes to fruition on the Z270 chipset board with DDR4-3200MHz rams.

Seeing as the PS5 is likely 18+ months away this seems an odd comparison.

I know but I'd let this go on just for the sake of entertainment 😛

 

[kristijan.susnik]

The company will do that.I just came to a conclusion to upgrade my graphics card and maybe the PSU if I'l need to.And if I have left over money I'l maybe upgrade my RAm to 16GB

 

[kristijan.susnik]

Can you tell me how long will this card last me?

 

[Lutfij]

Depends on the games you play, what resolution you play them, what in-game details are set as well as if the game developers decide to change the sort of gaming engines they use for future games. Technically impossible to say but with reduced details for every new title, you can prolong the life/use of the card.

MERGED QUESTION
Question from kristijan.susnik : "Upgrading my graphics card"

My PC has the following componets:
ASRock 1151 H110M-DVS R.0,DDR4 motherboard
i7-7700,Kaby Lake,BOX proccesor
DDR4 8GB 2133MHz Crucial CT8G4DFD8213 ram
GeForce GTX 1050 2GB LP MSI,V809-2410R graphics card
3.5 1TB 7200rpm 64MB SATA3 Toshiba P300 HDWD110 hard drive
ATX midi tower Antec Gamer GX500 whit window,blue LED case
240GB SATA3 INTENSO HIGH(3813440) ssd
550W LC-Power LC5550 V2.2 80 Plus Bronze power supply

All of this I wrote from my check list where all the componets and prices are written.I am trying to upgrade my GeFOrce GTX 1050 2GB graphics card to a AMD Radeon RX 590 Sapphire Nitro+ special edition.Is it going to be good whit the componets that I alleready have and overall will it be good?

Note:Whit this graphics card I get 3 free games:The Divison 2
Resident Evil 2(it is a remake/remasterd)
Devil May Cry 5
All 3 games are probably worth around 180 dolars.

I will be upgrading it tomorrow.The reason I choose this graphics card is because I don't want to spend big money on graphics cards.this card is 350 dollars,comes whit 3 games,is very powerful for it's price.

Merged threads since it's the same topic. Please don't create multiple threads, it's only going to make mattes worse.

That being said, that PSU is an expensive paperweight. I'd ask you to pick up a reliable PSU before getting a GPU of that pedigree. You specs also don't make sense, you just posted in this thread that you have an i7-7700K yet the follow up specs say you have an i7-7700, which is the lie?

As for GPU upgrade the card is three tiers higher than the GTX1050 but your PSU needs a change, pronto!

 

[kristijan.susnik]

I was complicating before so I typed everyething clearly in the thread before.i7-7700 or i7-7700k is the same stuff.Just on the check list they didnt put k because I am in Slovenia Middle Europe.Some specs may look diffrent to you as I have written down everyething from the list.As I said this is not in an American country..it is in Slovenia where we type some things diffrently.How come does my PSU need a change as I've heard 550W is baisiacly what you need?

Intel makes both an i7-7700 and i7-7700K. There's no reason they'd omit the K just because of your region.

The bad thing about your PSU is that it's a dual rail platform, meaning the rated power of the PSU is physically divided between the CPU an GPU (as opposed to modern single rail were the CPU and GPU share the full power). In your system, although your CPU will likely never exceed 90W power draw It's getting a 200W slice of the pie.
Also, although the amperage of each rail suggests otherwise, the specs say 400W combined. That's discouraging.
