For me, same with pc parts, be careful with buying used ps5s as they may have some defects or be fake, but there can be value found in getting a used one at a lower price as they may run the exact same to a new one or with minimal degraded performance. You just need to be a very smart buyer.

@batuhancokmar7330 2 ай бұрын

I'll state a few missed yet obvious points though. 1- Its 475$ vs 320$ if we being fair about going 2nd hand. 2- A PC is not limited to PS5 games. While a PS5 may have a few exclusives, there are hundreds if not thousands of games playable on PC but not on a PS5... 3- A PC is not ONLY a gaming machine. You won't be editing photos from your last trip on a PS5. Last point is important why? Because if you need to buy, upgrade and maintain a PC alongside your PS5 anyway, it may only need marginally better components to match the performance of PS5.

@ledocteur7701 28 күн бұрын

Games on console are also far better optimized than even very well optimized PC games, simply because you're optimizing for a singular machine with pre-defined hardware and software instead of a whole variety of different hardware and softwares, so the PC has by default quite a bit more weight to pull in order to match performance. Another important factor is the inherent fabrication cost of modularity, a PS5 has one metal/plastic "shell", all the components (apart from storage) are completely barebones if taken out, while each PC components (apart from the CPU) has to be self-contained, so you end up with way more metal and plastic that while necessary, don't contribute anything to the fully assembled build.

@@mcslender2965 Here, in Australia that is, you can pickup a 6600 for $50 cheaper then the A750. Which is only slightly less powerful then the A750. Up to the person in question of course, if you're a tinker then the A750 is a great card. But if you don't want to deal with its teething issues then the 6000 series is the way to go.

In the US at least, the Arc A770 is cheaper than the 6700 XT (even if you go used) which matters a lot in a budget like this, but moreover I think the idea was to match (really beat) the 16gb of combined memory of the console, and the A770 is the only 16gb card cheap enough for this budget.

tbh I never understood what the fuzz was about. I always saw consoles as highly limited product. Sure, you'll see you occasional post that claims that "there's no point in having a PC if a console costs less" (mainly from console only players either way) - but exchanging capabilities of modding, better user experience, more games available and no subscription cost for just wanting to play online and talking on a slow peer 2 peer voice chat at basically no additional cost for the manufacturer isn't exactly something that sounds too great to me. If I ever would want a console again I'd just straight up let my PC start with Steam in Big Picture mode, hook it up to my TV and have a wireless keyboard & mouse for modding stuff and adding non-steam games to the steam library. Doesn't even matter if a PC costs 400 more.

If you want to get creative you can also play physical copies of games as well from older systems, Or go the less legal route through emulation. And don't forget the free games you can get often enough, I haven't paid Epic a cent but have over 300 games on my epic library with a new one (not always good) every week. As a personal example I have a game save of FFVII I've been playing since around 2001 that I've just never gotten around to beating. I started playing it on an old first gen Playstation, moved it to a PS2, got the card reader back then and move that to a PC that I played on (with horrible PS emulation, with the disk even at the time) up to around level 70 on the first disk because I'm a masochist, stopped playing for a few years and managed to port that save over to the PS3. I didn't play that save for probably 12 years or more, and last year decided to finally beat the game and got my 2001 FFVII game running perfectly on my PC using the PS3 card reader to move it over... I still haven't beaten the game but thats a fully different issue.

Worked absolutely flawlessly until 2 weeks ago when one of the PCIe slots on the unit was getting unstable and was shutting down the entire system. Still worked perfectly fine when i switched the cable to the next slot, but decided to play it safe. Contacted the original seller, who btw was in France, provided them with a copy of the original invoice which i got from the original buyer, they sent me a copy of the warranty with which i contacted Seasonic and had my unit shipped to a local distributer. Not even 3 days in i had a brand new 1000W PSU. Absolute mad lads.

Whenever I price out a new pc I always end up somewhere in the $1200 ballpark for what I’d consider a longish term rig for myself.

Interesting video. There are definitely flaws though. 1, current used prices of the ps5 is not 500. 2, some value time. The time needed to hunt every part and then build it is, I would imagine, not insignificant. 3, risk. so many different used parts from different sellers. decent chance something is faulty, glitchy, or even broken (yes, yes, returns, still annoying) 4, as pointed out before doom, pcs sometimes need tweaking and have issues, compatibility problems, other errors (like before RnC). You do briefly mention these things at the end, but I think it’s important to note those can be bigger issues for some people, myself included. I’ve built many PCs, with a $3,000 overkill pogger wogger gaming PC sitting in my office. I STILL have stupid ass windows errors and things that just randomly break in the OS, and I’m just tired of troubleshooting. I have to imagine it’s even worse on… that. I’m so damn happy to just sit on my couch, pick up a controller from my charging dock, and shit just works. Obviously, console gaming, over a long period can be more expensive than even a higher end PC with the online services being almost mandatory, but also you get a massive amount of free games with PS Plus at least, and good ones too (imo). anyway, I spent way too long on a comment I feel like I’ll just get shit on for. I just see and appreciate the console for what it is. A user friendly, convenient, mostly error-free gaming machine. No more or less. PCs can do a lot, so I use mine for work, and my PS5 for gaming.

Like others have said, your opinion here, while valid, is also subjective. I was a HUGE console gamer up to and including the Xbox 360, but I honestly switched due to something like they weren't going to allow backward compatibility or something and then later rolled back on that decision. I don't remember if that is accurate, I just remember thinking that I don't have this hassle when I want to play my pc games and didn't bother picking up another console. Most of my friends followed suit, which did make the whole thing easier as well. Some counterpoints to consider: - Computers will last through multiple console generations (assuming you aren't someone who NEEDS the ultra top of the line gigachad graphics at all times) - Once you have a good computer it isn't nearly as expensive to upgrade certain parts in the future - The peripherals work perfectly from one upgrade to the next (consoles are starting to get better with this) - The Vast majority of the time pc gamers have the same gaming experience. Outside of launch day issues, I rarely, if ever am troubleshooting issues with a game. This is also the same experience with all of my friends. This was definitely an argument that used to be relevant, but we are in a significantly better place than we were even 10-15 years ago. A few other thoughts, for me personally, it is much much more expensive to get setup on a console than just forking out even $1000 upgrading my computer. After I factor in the console, the $100 controllers x 3 and the online subscription fee, I am already almost there and I don't even have any games to play. Buy a half-dozen games and I'm well above that $1000 mark and still don't have access to the hundreds upon hundreds of games I have access to on my pc. And none of that factors in all of the other things I can and do use my pc for. Please don't also misconstrue any of this as bashing consoles, that is definitely not my intention. Some of my best gaming memories were crowded around the couch playing Halo with my friends. I just want to show how for some people, especially those of us who only have the budget for one or the other, it's not as clear cut as many say.

Idk if building used PCs is becoming really popular right now because I used to consider $50 total for a used motherboard to be a little bit dear, but now you can't even find an A520 or B450 AM4 motherboard on eBay for less than $60 - $70 including shipping. That's not to mention if you buy a previous generation AM4 board that you might need to flash the BIOS to install 3000 and 5000 series Ryzen (if they are compatible). The same with cases in that you can't seem to get a used one for less than $50 and a new one will probably cost you $70 and up. So, even with the best prices listed I've come across, you will already be $140 into your '$500" hypothetical budget leaving $360 for everything else. $60 for a PSU, $70 for a Ryzen 5 3600X, and about $230 for a used RX 6700 and you'll be lucky to have something close to the PS5 performance. Oh, and I didn't even factor in storage, so hopefully you have a spare hard drive and RAM to put in it.

It is far less constrained than a console and when the time comes for the next generation of games you don't need to buy a whole new product.
