Would also like to know about a $400 gaming PC that can render all current titles so that I too can throw my PS4 into a woodchipper.

I'm kind of excited for cross-save and Steam Destiny, because now I'll turn the $2,000 paper weight sitting under my desk on and maybe use it for once.

Dude I built a pc from scratch and I objectively did a lot of the steps wrong and it still worked


It's not hard even if you plug the wrong deepdorp into the hoohah

Plus now you don't even have to put in optical drives, and I think all power supplies are modular instead of being a big fuckin octopus you have to wrestle

Assembling computers is easy, the problem is the week of reading up on the latest greeblegorbs you need to buy to make sure the internet doesn't laugh at you for buying an inferior part and then sweating over your build on pcpartpicker trying to hit a reasonable dollar value while also making sure you can run crysis at max.

That is probably the worst part. Making sure the poo poo is going to work well together. The most stressful part was the mother board. And even though everything was suppose to work with it, there was a few minutes where I wasn't sure.

Also, topic contribution: Destiny looks good on PC.

you'll need a bigger SSD or a hard drive for your game library, but those are cheap as heck these days. also, you could do way way better buying used parts, but this'll be a bit faster than a pro console and you'll get all the FOV and graphics settings you want.

computers are fun and good. consoles are fun and good. video games are fun and good.

right now, a cheap PC can outperform a pro console at the same price point, in a year that probably won't be true

technology is cyclical.

Gotta keep making that bread. But my PC was built probably over 10 years ago, now, and it still plays all current games at max settings

Well yeah, you'll need a hard drive, but I didn't bother putting it in there because you can pick up a 500gb for literally nothing on craigslist or ebay and pcpartpicker doesn't reflect that.

How about this, if you honestly build this computer PM me the receipt and i'll mail you a hard drive, i literally have a pile of spares.

actually PM me before you build it because I threw that poo poo together in 10 seconds and it's probably far from optimal

also you technically need a windows license but that's $5 on ebay or there's an SA-Mart thread.

There is the implication in like every computer budget that you're just gonna loving steal windows. It's really easy.
