Decided not to get a PS4 or Xbox1 but going to build a Gaming PC. Any advice

I spend ££££ once every 3-5 years.

 

£4?

 

Not much of an upgrade. :p

 

If it were up to me, i'd say, give me £2000 (for GAMING only), and i'll throw a tri / quad sli 980 or a single titan z with a nice i7. That'd keep anyone happy for a good.... a good..... 5+ years.

 

Unless more games are optimised like AC:Unity... I think it's actually impossible to get that running at 60FPS with everything maxed.

I picked up AC:U last week (£22 in Tesco on PS4!) and one thing is driving me insane - why the hell can't you move around corners when under cover? Like if you're using a table as cover, you can't move around it, only along it - 'TF is that all about? I ranted at length about this last night to the missus (she's become a fan of AC games since she played Black Flag), to which she replied "don't play it then." Clearly missing the point that I'm going to play it and moan constantly about it :p

You've also gotta proclaim that you're not buying any more... while preordering the next one. [Victorian London! Woo!]

I'm going to have to see if I can use my 28days holiday in once continuous block next Chrimbo. Time it right around some bank holidays, add in weekends, and I might just have time to 100% it and get bored of playing out my Jack the Ripper fantasies...

Sooooooooo..... Yeah. :popcorn:

 

And yet... I still have a better framerate in Red Dead Redemption on 360 than you do on PC.

 

And hows Mario Kart 8 running for the PC master race? :p

Not this "PC Master Race" carp again...

 

PC advantages: very cheap games in the sales, *almost* complete "backwards compatibility" (i.e. doesn't usually matter how old a game is, there'll be a way to play it)

Console advantages: no messing with settings or drivers, *almost* plug and play

 

I purposely left hardware upgrades out of the equation, as often upgrading a PC any significant amount costs as much as a console anyway so makes that argument defunct IMO

 

I have a decent gaming PC, but now using PS4 for AAA titles until comparable GPUs enter the sub £200 price point, then I'll upgrade (unless a next gen console is out first...).

 

Have both and quit arguing :p

We are PC Master Race, we don't play with children's toys mwahahaha!

 

You are aware that apart from the OS, modern consoles and PCs are almost identical, aren't you? Just checking.

Me no listen to you casuals, me play hardcore stuffs and you cry all day. If the game isn't on computer DONT PLAY IT, it's not worthy of the master race.

Same here, PC for the majority of my gaming, PS4 for online shenanigans, exclusives and Netflix.

I am an IT pro and stuffs that means I knows loads. PC Master Race for LYF. Phone is a phone, calculator is a calculator, watch is a watch and a Microwave is just that. You wouldn't say "Honey I'm just putting the curry in the computer would you" *Boom! Knowledge bomb dropped*

 

:p

No, because she's not an IT pro so I'd expect her to understand "computer" in the colloquial sense, however I'd expect an IT pro to understand that the microwave does contain a computer. Which can only mean - are you my missus?
