Posted October 28, 2018 Get a used Dell Optiplex with a quad core and throw in a used GTX 970. That should cost you around $300.

Get the one you want more first. They provide different gaming experiences. Getting a gaming PC makes more sense if you are into online games, while the PS4 has better singleplayer exclusives and RDR2.

Like the new Spider Man game and stuff. Then again building your own PC can be fun too. Do you have another computer? Screen? Keyboard and stuff? I would play like BO4 , Fortnite , Red Dead 2 . I already have a pc its like the bottlenecked ones they sell on amazon with AMD fx 6400 1050ti 8 gm ram some sort of asrock mobo 400w atng psu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 28, 2018 Author 6 minutes ago, SnowWolf370 said: I think Read Dead 2 is only available on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One right now, it's not available on PC.. I think, I'm not sure when it will be. In my experience being a console player is usually the cheapest way to go, because in order to have a PC that will play everything amazingly you'd need a big budget.. While a mediocre computer could play most games, it might be a smoother and more enjoyable experience on a console. If you want to play Read Dead 2 right away, you'd need a console. You could keep your PC for now in order to have something to surf the internet on and stuff, and save up more money and get a computer later? I'm not sure what decision would be best... I think maybe some other guys should chime in before you make a decision. I was thinking a bout getting a console first but then comes the next roadblock. My friends have ps4. And the decision between consoles is hard because Xbox one series offer 4k and you can play the games you buy in xbox store on your pc, its cheaper than ps4 but ps4 has better exclusives, the controllers dont have batteries and 4k on only PRO vesion witch adds about 120$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only other thing to consider is simply your choice of games. Are there a bunch of exclusives you want to play on console ..if so then console is the way to go. If not then again go with PC. Alterntivly, get both. Build a budget console matching PC for around $500, along with the console of your choice.

I will go with the ps4 because im going to build a pc anyway because my current one is going to burn down in the near future and i dont want to upgrade this pc.

Posted October 28, 2018 Author 1 minute ago, SnowWolf370 said: Or so you could do both? Yeah building a new one is better than upgrading the old one.. But if you were planning on building a computer as well.. I don't understand this topic? It seemed like you could only afford a PlayStation 4 or building a computer, not both. currently i can afford only one of them so i will have save up more to build a pc. I just was lost and didn't know what to go with first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
