I bought a PS4 a while ago and I want to sell it to upgrade my PC:

Do you seriously have to ask? This PC will wreck any console, any game, any day.

Lol really? Going to begin by making a computer you can barely upgrade. Please go with an 1150 socket.

Unless you are planning on playing on any ps4 exclusives this year then go ahead and sell it for the upgrade.

Should I just wait for AMD DDR4, or should I just hold off the CPU upgrade until later?

DDR4 isn't worth it right now. Difference is nill. Just get a 1150 socket motherboard and stick with the RAM you selected. AMD CPUs are just not worth it.

Um... I already have an FX 4130 and ASUS M5A78L-M/ USB3. Going to any other platform would mean ATLEAST buying another CPU and motherboard. I think it's worth it to stay AMD, as my budget isn't sky high.

Personally I would just keep the PS4 and save up for the rest of it through other means but  if you won't miss your PS4 or PS4 exclusive titles, or even PS4 friends, got for it.

Yes you should, I sold my ps4 and build a gaming rig, its amazing that I can play older games for next to nothing (steam sales) with graphics comparable to ps4 at 60fps. Never looked back. Current gen consoles are pretty disappointing I got excited by a broken promise of 1080p 60fps gaming. Also there is no many or good games for them at the moment, and PC libary is so big and has so many titles i've never played that I won't have time to play them anyway ;) but the thought is good
