xbox one or build pc

[noahk]

okay so i found a build for 600$ that will max out battlefield 4 for sp and on high for mp should i build this pc or just stick with my xbox one. the reason i want a pc is so that i can play all the old classic pc games ,last gen games,pc exclusives , steam , and next gen games but how often would i have to upgrade plus i have poor connection so online gaming for the xbox one is pointless to me so what shouuld i do ?

nice build the above guy gave a tottaly console killer for an extra 600$
Also you are getting BF4 with R9 270x so it creates some discount actually

the above setup need a minimum 550w for full performance tbh like XFX PRO 550w will be enough.

and for OS yeah once you bought a PC you have multiple things ready to do:
like recording gameplays / good video editing with that CPU + rendering.
AlSO a PC ALWAYS has an upgrade option!

A Corsair CX430 won't power a rig with a Radeon R9, you need minimum 500W. This is slightly over budget but better CPU, and power supply:

The R9 270X is essentially the rebranded version of the Radeon 7850. Both cards are pretty much identical spec wise.

 

[Niko_boy]

to above post i would suggest ripping down CPU to 6300 and making GPU to reach R9 270x for sure.
as 270x actually does better in its performance for price
otherwise everything great and forms a cool Xbox one or any console killer!
i would totally recommend PC over Xbox

Do you have a link to a benchmark that shows this? (and please don't link to GPU Boss)

@ g-unit1111
clearly some more performance for its price and it does prove to be superior then a 7850 however it stay closer to 7870s

@noahk
yes you are tottaly safe for few years with that kind of build but sometime it depend on how good games are ported. Xbox one runs games on 720p though they will look superior in any PC build for similar price (+some few more bucks).
