>tfw you need at least $1000 to buy an entry level gaming PC
Wasn't PC Gaming supposed to be cheaper and better than consoles?

>8GB

>>718483662 (OP)
better yes but not cheaper
if you're poor stick to consoles

>>718483794
If it's at 1080p you can game with 8gb.

Literally never
>and better than consoles?
It is

>>718483864
The PCnigger argument for the longest time was “we can build a PC stronger than any console for the same price”
Don't try to say otherwise

And it was always dishonest niggotry.

No.

Arguable, see Denuvo and bunch of disasterous PC releases lately.
Also 'free' mutiplayer full of cheaters and third worlders because 'free' is really attractive for scum of Earth.

No one has ever claimed PC gaming was cheaper than consoles, don't make shit up

>>718483662 (OP)
They way to do this is to buy a Facebook Marketplace PC for $500 and then replace the GPU. If you were set on a RX7600 that brings the cost down to under $800, but if you're big brained you pick up a used 3090/3080Ti/6[8,9]00XT and still be under $1200. If you have an old PC to cannibalize for cases and fans and maybe some DDR4 you can build the whole rig for the cost of a used GPU. People practically give away AM4/LGA1700 parts.

>>718484116
And then console corpos transferred their profits to subscriptions and game sales and consolecucks didn't notice because they're terribly myopic

>>718484221
PC gaming is cheaper if you are looking at unit sales of games, the cost of using your own internet that you've already paid for, cost of peripherals, as well as the longevity of the system and perpetual access to games both old and new, on top of the fact that it can do more than just gaming.
Its only a high entry price, but thats hardly an issue if you arent poor and stupid.

majority of PC users are zoomers who get hand me downs or free gibs from their parents under the guise of a personal computer to do schoolwork, I’d venture at least 90% of PC only fats didn’t buy their own computer or components

>>718483662 (OP)
Cheaper? No not really ..it's more valuable

The point of having a PC is doing PC things, not having a large more complex video game device. But on the other hand even if I only played games on my PC it'd still be significantly better than consoles

I can't view game consoles as something an adult has in their house. People who play games a lot and only have consoles confuse me. It's like being a "sneaker head" but you don't have any nikes

>>718484457
the only point of a PC is to assist with semen extraction

Covid happened and every normalfag and his dog decided to swarm the PC space in a time where nvidia was already testing the waters on being jewish.

Unless your card was a 10-series or earlier, you missed the golden age of value.

This is a meme PC isn't it? You can build a sensible PC with the similar specs for 700 brand new or you can get used parts for around 500.

>Isn't PC gaming supposed to be cheaper?

It is. Or is that "silicon shortage" still a "meme".

>>718484457
>I can't view game consoles as something an adult has in their house

thats funny, it seems most well adjusted men with families and jobs who have sex on a regular basis are able to own a PC and multiple consoles unlike zoom zooms who are stuck on their forerver games like Fortnite since they can choose to eat or upgrade their parent bought personal computer, or is this a Canadian thing?

>>718484457
>like being a "sneaker head" but you don't have any nikes
haha so relatable bro I totally get that reference
..what the fuck is he talking about

feels good not being a poor brownie thirdy

>>718484457
Wrong. My brother plays on consoles and he is super normie with wife and kids.

>>718484726
Able to own something doesn't mean you own it, I think you missed the point

A console has no place in an adults house. It's a locked down DRM toy with only casual games

Why would I have one?...

>>718484829
Normies don't care about all that. They just want to buy the next big thing and get excited for the next big thing.

>>718483662 (OP)
>supposed to be cheaper
Only if you count long term things like free games and not having to pay for online access. That said it used to be you could get a mostly console comparable budget PC before Nvidia went into their end-game full kikery mode.

it is cheaper because PCfags can just pirate all there games while console plebs spend $79.99 plus tip on every release.

>>718484902
Yeah I'm not talking about normies though

Why would I, video gaming since 1986, own a console? Sell it to me.

>>718483662 (OP)
Are you wanting suggestions for a build or are you just ragebaiting with whatever retardation is in your screenshot?
You could do something equivalent to the build in the screenshot with used parts for like $300 at this point.

I got Switch 2 for Nintendo games. PC for piracy. Simple as. The free online pays for itself in the long run

>>718483662 (OP)
>cheaper
sure in the long run, not the initial cost especially if you want all the best peripherals, a good chair and desk and a high end monitor unlike with a console where you can just use your television
>better
haha, fuck no, maybe with PC-centric games like RTS but zoomers are allergic to traditional PC games so whats the fucking point, everyone knows PC only fats pirate a game, play it for 5 mins then drop it, they’re a fickle bunch and spend more time on imageboards harassing console players or jorking their cocks

>>718483881
For now

>>718485105
for me its

gayming in the living room
>Switch 2
gayming on the shitter and in bed
>PC

>>718483662 (OP)
Other than nintendo, consoles are usually sold at a loss. We'll see what happens with next gen, as Sony and Microsoft go more third party.

>>718483662 (OP)
>rx 7600
>windows 11
You still have time to change, buy an arc b580 or a rx6650xt if you are on budget (you can still find them new), and install one of these normies distros or stay with windows 10 ltsc

>>718485359
>buying a gamer chair and a monitor and a desk is part of the cost
>buying a consoomer couch and television and TV stand is not part of the cost
How deep is your indent in the couch cushions, fatso?

>she only bought a couch and television when she bought a console
why are PC only sissies like this

I don't actually play games a lot anymore so paying a sub for something as basic as online access seems absurd to me now, especially if you only play a small variety of games. I did it when I had a lot more time and didn't have a PC but I don't anymore. I think I built my first gaming pc in like 2015 and have upgraded a part here or there over the years, it was a shitty cheap budget build that's still trudging along and runs the games I want to play as well as I'd like it to, I'm pretty happy. It definitely gets into expensive territory if you want to play high end cinematic new games and I think consoles might be the better deal there, idk, but I just don't like those games so I am unbothered. When I had a console and no good PC, I felt like I was missing out on a lot of games, old stuff, indie games, PC exclusives, etc, and I was.

I've definitely spent way less money on games since then and have gotten a lot more enjoyment out of it than I would have if I'd kept paying for xbox gold and full priced games or whatever they call it now. I guess consoles are good if you're a normie.

>>718483662 (OP)
PC is more expensive in the short term but cheaper long term.

>>718483662 (OP)
if playing video games was the only thing a PC is good for you might have a point. but it isn't. hush now, child

>>718484221
They’re pretty close when you look at the prices of bullshit console does
>newest gen is by default minimum $500
>yearly subscription to use your own internet $20~$50
>AAA exclusives (the main selling point of consoles) are $70~$100
>controllers $70 each
If you bought more than one game you’re already at the price of a prebuilt PCs prices
