You have to know what you want before you go shopping.

do you realize there is an entire world of great games outside the sports genre? i used to be a sports gamer too. but then found out what i was missing and hardly ever play sports titles now. when you see what else is out there, you begin to understand how bad madden really is

I only play a few sports games.... but there is absolutely no need for me to have a console for Madden plus a gaming PC when most of the games I like are on both. Graphics = Nothing... not even in the equation for if I think a game is good.

Cool story bro.

JMS da god.

All of those builds are more expensive than my PS4 tho

Realistically, it's going to be difficult to build a PC that compares with the PS4's pricetag that will last a couple years. However, one of the justifications is that for a little bit more, you get all the functionality of a PC. So, for Rylo's 600, are you going to be able to get a PS4 as well as a capable PC that can be used for its various other functions (MS Office, internet, data storage, etc). Chances are, no.

This is all valid for those that don't have a laptop or desktop. I just got a new laptop around Christmas, so its hard to justify building a PC primarily for gaming.

ok well, you snooze you lose.

i dont understand why people come into this thread with the expectation of being sold on why you should buy a gaming pc. if you dont want to own one, then dont. its not like you know what you are missing.
