i'm talking about people who don't have money for new parts. 
 
my motherboard, cpu's and ram together cost €125 less than an 8700k. 

latest project I picked up.

Eyes always evolve with our daily activities, we normally see at 69fps. Humans who play on consoles can only see at 30fps since their eyes have evolved to see only 30fps. The ascended race of humans who play on PC can see at variable frame rates their eyes have a better refresh rate and response time because of biological evolution, trust me I have a masters degree in Doctoris Buttoxia Intelligentsium. 
Thanks for wasting 2mins of your invaluable time reading through this made up gibberish. You could have used that time to email back the Nigerian prince who wanted to donate you $997,455,4324.
Now to answer your question.
Yes, the difference between 30fps and 60fps is easily noticeable. Especially when you are used to playing games at higher frame rates than 30fps. 
 

1080p, 1440, and 4k. 
 
 

What year is it?

I'm a gullible idiot, plan on getting the Power Armor edition and nuking the shit out of people. 

They're referring to peer2peer vs dedicated servers.
 
 
They did.

You want to look into vault 87 in the capitol wasteland, that's where the east coast super mutants come from and it was opened by the great war itself releasing them.

The east coast super mutants emerged way before the west coast. So it's within canon to have them on the east coast 25 years after the war. 

I think it will be partially canon, it's still a full fleged fallout game. IDK how they are going to explain super mutants existing at that time though...

you all do know tastes are subjective right? it's not like someone saying game x is better can be disproven by some mathematical formula.
 
that said 3 was the best, period 

If it's online then there will be no mods. Who the hell will fix the game?

Just can't agree. There has never been as many options in how you can build a PC as now. Most of the fanboy fighting comes from all the choices, and their belief only theirs is worth it lol

3 years ago, CPU.
Intel 4 cores at 4.5-4.7GHz
AMD, bahahahahahahhaa.
 
Today CPU.
Intel, 6 cores at 5-5.2GHz
AMD, 8 cores with 16 threads.
 
3 years ago memory.
1600MHz
 
Memory today.
3200MHz 
 
3 years ago.
Limited radiator support in cases.
Limited keyboard options. 
Limit choice in modular power supplies 
M.2 support was rare and slow
SSDs were limited in capacity and expensive. 
Wireless only on premium boards
Few AIOs
No way to control lighting across different brands with the same software. 
No type C support on motherboards 
Limited high refresh rate monitors
 
Could go on

Probably (I didn't read it, it was merely the top of the google search); I know it's been debated to death.
 
"My only goal is that each platform is seen for what it is" -- Dam straight!  And that was my point as well.  PCs and consoles are not equivalent or even completely interchangeable.  There is some overlap (namely, gaming), but how they go about that is very different.  For someone who already owns a PC, PC peripherals, and PC games, then upgrading is going to be the better option (if possible).  For someone who does not have an existing investment in either (or is horribly obsolete), then the decision is more nuanced than simply "which is better?".

The applications themselves are just running through an API, the difference is layers of abstraction and console API's being designed around one chipset.

I just wanted to trigger the OP with my optical drive.

There are fallacies on both sides; I think we can both acknowledge that.  I know I use my computer for more than just gaming (CAD), so from my perspective, a console is simply out of the question.  Everyone has different priorities and needs. Everyone has a different view on money as well; as I indicated, for me a $200 difference is minor.
 
I think the bigger issue isn't "fallacies" necessary, but more over simplifications.  We tend to try to reduce a debate down to a simple question: "which is better?"  Instead of responding back with, "what are you wanting to do?" we instead jump into one camp or another.  The question is really far more complicated.  Do you already have computer hardware?  Do you already have a 4k TV?  What else do you use your PC for?  Are there console exclusives you like?  Titles you already own?  Etc.

I built my first PC when I was 13. I had practically nothing to go on, other than what I've seen in LTT videos. It wasn't a very uphill journey at all.
 
Also, check out the New Builds and Planning subforum. Not all the people building PCs are "the most passionate nerds" as you put it.
