CONSOLE KILLER PC????

[Samson_ST]

you see im trying to build a pc. a pc that can beat a console (PS4 PRO)  in 1 of 3 category, 1), same price same specs, 2) same price better specs, 3) cheaper price same spec.

 

Can you guys help me???? this is what ive done

https://au.pcpartpicker.com/list/bvYJr7

 

heres some things to know

 

Price of PS4 PRO: USD $417.62

Specs of PS4 PRO:

CPU: 8 core clocked 2.18ghz

GPU: 4.2 teraflops (thats all the website gave me)

RAM: 8gb ddr5

Storage: 1TB

 

PLEASE HELP ME!!! I'm stuck

the tflops isn't a particularly important value, especially considering that (I assume) you'll be comparing these exclusively on gaming performance.

 

Edit: There are many problems with your build so far.  First of all, there is zero reason to get an FX CPU now with Ryzen out.  Next, I'm pretty sure the ps4 pro is more powerful than a 460 (but if someone knows better feel free to correct me on that).

 

And (and this will be hard) to be fair, you should try to find a case of similar form factor.

Well, any two or more things can be compared if they share one or more traits   You just have to specify what you're comparing them on

Cheaper than your initial build, will preform better and better than a ps4 at 1080p. But price is higher. I don't think you can go cheaper than this since parts are over priced in Australia. You could go with prebuilt pc off ebay or older used parts but not sure where to search for that in Australia.

Exactly. You can't make a good budget PC these days because of those phone manufacturers and Ethereum miners making the prices skyrocket.

not really, ps4 pro is the best gaming system you can for the price range, you can also get it on sale for 350$.

Keep in mind I tried to keep the price as low as possible. If not limited by price, there are a lot more options.

As much as some people would like to have you believe otherwise, if you're just looking at the initial purchase, it's hard to beat some consoles on performance per dollar no matter what you do.  Because you don't need to buy Windows, they can mass produce them for cheaper because of the scale, and they can subsidize the cost knowing they'll make it back in more expensive games, multiplayer subscriptions, etc. the initial purchase price can sometimes be unbeatable.
