Should i join the master race?

[Guest]

Yes, i'm currently a console infidel. And to be honest, it sucks. PS4, possibly the worst thing i've ever owned, apart from the controller. I've always been a console gamer, just because i've never really had a need for 1080p ultra graphics and so on; it's just never really bothered me.

 

Until now. I'm thinking about getting rid of my current build and my ps4 and building a gaming system, if i were to do so this would most likely be the build or something similar: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/XdjTFT

The only thing really stopping me is, is it worth it? For me it makes sense to just have one PC, rather than a PC and ps4 and have to switch between the two every time i want to play a game; which sometimes stops me playing as much as i like. 

 

In your OPINION, as i know 99% of you are PC gamers, just how much of an improvement is it?

I'd go with a 980 instead of a 780ti btw

I own a few consoles myself, a PC is definitely an improvement. Being able to choose whether you play with a mouse/keyboard or controller is a good additional feature aswell

[SAV1OUR]

hell yes you should, whats your budget for the pc?

i5+780Ti over PS4? A huge improvement, although right now it might make more sense to go for 980 or maybe 970 (with intention to throw in another 970 later on). 

[eLucid]

Why are you even asking? Just do it!

No more than £900, excluding monitor & OS 

[Matt14520]

what you're budget so we can make you a better build.

[IP man]

IMO, the games are more important than the graphics. What games DO YOU LIKE? then choose.

OCing option, try and fire a reference card because of the airflow in the case

You can't just join the master race you need to apply first.

Welcome to the forum! Please remember to follow your topics so you're notified when someone answers in my sig you can find links to the CoC and the forum's F.A.Q. check them out!

 

Pros of pc gaming:

- much better graphical fidelity and high framerates for a smooth and pleasant gameplay

- cheaper games and no internet sub fee

- keyboard and mouse are better than controllers in almost every possible way, and either way you still get the option to use a controller

- you can upgrade a pc

- you can overclock components

- you can record footage directly on your pc

- more options to speak with your friends over ip

 

...yeah, it's absolutely worth it

 

In your build I'd do the following: get rid of the 780ti in favour of a 970, it's already overkill for 1080p; get a 4690k with a decent cooler (like a cooler master hyper 212 evo) and a z97 motherboard so you can overclock it (overclocking is free performance, always worth it in moderate quantities). You forgot the case (I suggest a cooler master haf 912) and absolutely get an ssd, it's 1000% worth it (get something like a 240gb samsung 840 evo).

basically @SAV1OUR 's build

"Should i join the master race?"

Without a doubt. 

 

The real question is how much can you spend on a pc? Are you ready to jump all in? If so, sell that plebstation4 and upgrade your build to include an SSD, you'll appreciate it right away. 

[Recon97]

Yes you should, get into some research and build a computer that can play games and enjoy your freedom and flexibility, upgrade, play thousands of exclusives just do it.

I did a research of 2.5 years.

[Zeke]

Well f*** me, I never can build on a budget...

But this (although any i5+GTX9xx) will shred PS4 to pieces in terms of performance. Hell, you'll get similar FPS to PS4 but on 4K instead of 1080p.

Where can i find the application form? 

we no longer use application forms. those are too old school, we're trying to go paperless.

 

heres how to join the pc master race, quick and easy. it's simple;

grab your current console, and five of its controllers, place in a pentagram. IMPORTANT: console must be virgin, no games played yet.

buy a large amount of led candles, gotta go green.

last step: you gotta set up a sweet ass laser light show with your new pc before you cut open the console, remove its APU and burn it. be sure to catch that on video.

 

wait two to three bisiness days and your i5, 980, and sin-less heart will arrive.

CONGLATULATIONS you've just joined the pc master race!!

gaming only, you chose a tad bit much on the memory, but its fine considering you're using an i5. just my first thaughts.

 

second thaught, wtf... did you forget to add a gpu? or that the users choice? i'll assume tha latter.

[Dude]

We're called the master race for a reason bro. Therefore the answer is always yes.

[SAV1OUR]

the 4690k is 1155/z97 and that motherboards 1150/z77 so they wont work together
