Does anybody on the forum want to work together to make a console? Here is my parts list. This will probably never take off, but I would sell this at $450. It is as powerful and cheaper than the Xbox one elite. It is a little more expensive and more powerful than the PS4(at selling price).

I know. It´s what I did with my pc. Just saying, just for reference.

oh and I just though, 400$ usd is around 560-600$ ish cad, look in my signature to see my build log for the flight sim, 580$ cad for all the hardware (q6600 and dual 660ti)  around the same price (say you remove windows and one gpu)     soooooo...... yeeeeaaaahh

 

 

edit : thats 428$ usd. so remove 2 monitors that you don't need, and remove windows (total of 60ish $ cad, so 30$ usd more or less)

and boom, sli 660ti and a q6600. 400$ or less

If you are going to use a r7 250 you might as well save some money and get an a10 7870k since the igpu is about the same performance, but not enough for solid 1080p performance on AAA titles.

Jk, I don't have a use for them yet. A small form factor PC with Win10 and a wireless mouse is good enough for me at the moment :)
