Why does anyone harp on consoles for being expensive? I pay $400 or whatever, and that can be all I pay for the life of the console to play a new game in hardware costs. Even from PC gaming friends I know who moderately update their systems, this money is easily spent in two years upgrading their system.
To be honest, the only way I see you saving money on using a PC is on game purchases (I buy one game each year, and let the PS+ membership I have work on filling up my library otherwise). With PC you have Steam sales, or if you're wearing an eye patch, torrent sites.
If you built your own computer, every time a new console comes out, that's $600 each time a console comes out. If you've built a computer, you're already ahead of that. If you haven't built one, you can chuck $600 in and be better than the console, and then only throw small amounts of money at the computer to keep it better than the consoles to come.
But, regardless. I have both, play both, and have no care.
My gaming pc setup is decent, only spent $700 in the australian market, which would be less than $500 in america I imagine.
It's about time for me to upgrade to ssd's, a new cpu, and more ram. Otherwise, it's perfect
