Go to solution Solved by LucasDerpYT,

If you want to spend time with your moved away brother go for the xbox one s or the xbox one if you can find it cheaper. I personally own a Xbox One S and can say that it is really small and a bit smaller than the Xbox 360 S stored away on a shelf. If you want the communities that are bigger on xbox, go for it. If you want to be able to play with your brother, go for it. The xbox one s is very powerful and will handle what you want and need. I also have a laptop and PC and neither stack up to the on paper compute power of it. Getting the one S would be cheaper than getting a 6GB 1060 thats around $260, and the money you dont spend on the monitor and ram upgrade can go to some pretty decent games like BF1 or Doom. Personally if I was in your situation, I would stick mostly with what you have, though I would upgrade on the cheap from the 1GB GPU. The PC build is decent and will probs last a while if you just upgrade the GPU. Save on the Win10pro and save like $40. But in your situation I would get the xbox and some games to play.  Also it depends on your relationship with your brother and the distance. If he moves down the road just walk down and play.

Hey guys, I have a new question on this topic. Should I upgrade my PC or buy an Xbox One S like the title says? Also BEFORE ANY of you start judging or are just like PC MASTER RACE crap, I ACTUALLY enjoy the Xbox One and the games I like to play have MUCH MUCH larger communities there. Also I have a more personal reason to ask this question, my older brother is getting married in about a year and I wont be able to play with him, he has an Xbox One already ( hint thats why I am asking this in the first place)...and I would like to play with him when he moves out, I know he wont have much time but it will still be fun for when i do play with him. Now the PC upgrade I would do is a GPU and/or Monitor Upgrade,( you can see my current specs on my profile), the GPU i want to get is either a GTX 1060 6GB or GTX 1070, I want to maybe do 1440p but 1080p is starting to look like the more tantalizing option considering its maturity and the amount of options. i am also interested in G-SYNC and if thats possible i might go for a monitor that has it for a reasonable price. The games i play are FPS's mainly like BO2, BO3, CSGO, Star Wars Battlefront, and then Rocket League...However I am looking at getting GTA V and Fallout 4 later/soon. Thanks guys!

sorry i missed that part as your post has too much texts and hard to look. A 750 is a little bit on a low side. it can barely handle modern game at low/medium settings at good frame rate

You'd definitely benefit from a gpu upgrade to a 480/1060 (I think they're the price of an xbox one S? they are in the uk anyways)

 

But as an argument for console. if thats what the majority your friends or family play it may be the better option, as you'd have people to play with on there.
Personally i have 3 friends who actually do PC gaming, but about 20 who are console peasants. As much as i love my pc gaming, it can get a bit boring when you don't have as many friends to play with or talk to when playing.

Games are starting to use more than 8GB of ram so I at least recommend a 4 gb stick add on for 12 gb of ram.

If the xBox is to play in one year when your brother gets married, might as well upgrade PC now and wait for Scorpio to come out on the Holidays and get that.

Thats the thing though....Scorpio is supposed to have the power of a PC graphical wise and they have to make money some how so its not gonna be cheap...at all...plus Do you think console people would pay $800+ for a console that can do 4K when their fine with their own stuff now?

It will not cost $800+, it will be around the same $500 that the xBox One cost when it came out. Right now the S is $250 but it's 3-4 years old technology already.
