So why do poor people even bother getting into PC builds? If you don't have at least $1500 to spend, what's the point?
As long as you have enough for a build with an i5 and 960, you might as we go pc.
>>53642030
an fx6300 and 280x will be about twice as fast as a ps4 dude
>>53642047
You must be lost friend, here on /g/rake we play the way it's meant to be played.
>>53642030
Hell, the 950 is even enough for me.
>>53642047
i'm rocking a fx-6300 and a 290. it's awesome, but I need a non-stock cooler so I can eek out a little bit of extra cpu perf.
>>53642323
Yep getting played by nvidia feels nice
you can build a pc for less than 200$ that will do everything office or programming related that you want, OP is a massive faggot as per usual

I bought a used build from November 2013 for 1k CAD. i7 4770, gtx 780 etc. But to build one for 1k it would still be ok
because /v/ tards keep spouting "muh pc master race" so neets and underages think they gotta a build a 1337 peecee.
Inbred retards, can you not comprehend PCs are not made just for shitty games. Same shit when somebody asks "hurrrr durrr why do you need so much wam? Vidyas only need liek 8 gibibytes".

Go on, tell me that it's for games, when you haven't played an enjoyable PC game for about 10 years.
>>53641921
You're fucking stupid. You can play 90% of all steam games with a €500,- build. No one wants to play shitty console ports anyway.
>>53643929
Analyzing RAM is okay, but I would still go with 32gb to be safe.
>>53644151
Storage + Case + Power Supply alone go above 500€ if you buy decent ones.

And you can do any "productivity" you want on a build that costs about half that.

No, but you should get a gold rated Seasonic PSU and a Samsung 950 PRO 512GB at least.

I actually do use my PC primarily for games and the total cost of my system was about $1200. $600 of which was for the GTX 980 Ti.
It's crushing everything from planet side 2 to The Witcher 3, half life 1, killing floor 2, L4D2, Rust, but I mostly just play league of legends because I'm a fucking waste of skin.
$1500 is way more than you need for a perfectly good PC build.
>>53641921
ugly mulatto culture demon needs his throat slit wide open
>>53644424
$1500 is the absolute minimum if you want to play any AAA games on 1080p ultra.

>f you don't have at least $1500 to spend
This some scrub talk desu.
$300 will build a very good PC for everything but high-end gaming. If you want that you go up to $500.
$1000 and you will be playing in 4k at highest settings on everything out there.
There's no reason to ever spend $1500 on a PC beyond being a show-off.

Most of the time when I am coding, not for work, I use my raspberry pi model B and the GTX keeps my feet warm.
>>53644265
Well, I need it for my Kontakt libraries because they take a shitton of memory (music), also, for my video post production, Davinci Resolve for example uses a lot of it.
>>53644794
show me a build that can do 60 fps 4k on good quality for $1000.
If you don't plan on moving around, a desktop is still a good option:
Nice big screen
Good keyboard
Good mouse
And the case is still cheap.
It does come with a higher entry price as you have to buy multiple things where you can get a cheap used thinkpad cheaper than you can get the peripherals.
But if you have like $500, you can get something good which can be upgraded later when you have the money
>>53644808
If all you play is midtown madness 2 then that's fine.

>>53644826
Nobody said anything about 60 fps. I said you'd be playing. 30 fps is considered acceptable right now in that resolution with maximum settings.
You can get a 980 ti for $600 and use the remaining $400 for the rest of your build.
>>53644826
Why would you even want to?
What out there is worth seeing in such a way? There hasn't been a PC game worth upgrading for in years. Fucking hell, I'm even thinking of downgrading just to safe myself from as much noise and power costs.
Games are so pointless. Literally Street Fighter is the only game series worth a damn.

>>53645054
>paying 1 thousand bucks more just being "you can"
Consumerist as fuck.
>>53641921
You've got a point.
90% of users just need a laptop/tablet/phone for web browsing and light applications and a single games console for fun.
If you really want to PC game or need power to render video or some shit you'll make the "investment".
I put investment in quotes because tech degenerates in value rapidly as it's superceded
>>53644742
A $600 PC will be able to play AAA games on 1080p Ultra. I own one.
Many people manage it for under $500.
I'm rocking a $500 Oced a10 7870k build and it's bretty gud. Downloads everything I want, edits pix and vids, and plays games about as good as a Xbox one...

Tomb Raider
Witcher II
Crysis 3
Metal Gear Sold V: Ground Zeros
Little old, but still AAA and demanding games. I can play Witcher III on Ultra with good FPS as long as hairworks and AA is turned off. I'm sure Phantom Pain would run as well as GZ.
>>53645555
we'd know

Why would he even care, we're all anonymous.
>>53645026
>30 fps is considered acceptable right now
>>53645777
When it comes to 4k ultra gaming, yes. Most of the people running at those settings are not achieving or expecting 60 fps. Sometimes you can't even get it when you're in SLI.
But go on being a contrarian, ignorant faggot if it suits you.

I spent less than 400USD for a rig that runs everything at 1080p.
Bought a used desktop off ebay for 550USD shipped with two 280xs, SSD, RAM, HDD, FX-4100 or some 4XXX CPU, I don't remember now. Sold the extra 280x and the 4100 (which I replaced with a used 6350). Most parts were are still under warranty, which is why I RMA'd one of the 280x, the SSD, and the mobo.
>>53645303
>play
Really, with what fps?
I can play a lot of games on a shitty computer, but if the fps is shit, it's worthless
>>53641921
Even Intel is better for most budget builds now.
The i3-6100 + a cheap motherboard is actually the same price as AMD and faster.
>>53646109
>Most nerds don't need a dedicated GPU
Fixed.
>>53647024
Anything over 30 fps is playing a game on a legitimate level. But I can usually do better than that.
Using presets if for fags anyway. I turn off AA in every game I play because I prefer maximum visual detail and don't mind if it makes the edge of a gun have a little jaggy here and there. I always turn off that one performance-suck setting like hairworks. Doing these two things will net about 20 fps.
>>53647013
uhg...
>People who still find 1080p acceptable.
What is this? 2008?
>>53648075
Good resolution for couch gaming
Buy used parts? Cucklords offload their shit a year or two after they've bought it all the time. Modern computer parts have longer lifespans than people keep them for.
you're right, they're stupid and you're stupid
>>53648075

>>53648096
It's a good resolution period.
The leap in quality from 480/720 to 1080 is a clear progression. The difference between 1080 and 4k is subtle until you reach a screen size over 40".
Note: there are benefits to be seen on a 1080 screen when using internal rendering resolutions higher than 1080. The same can be said for blu-ray video. A 4k video downsampled to 1080p will still look better than most 1080p videos.
The intangible solidity of a high bitrate image free of artifacts trumps resolution most of the time. Double so if the monitor being used is of excellent performance.
>>53641921
Because poor people need PCs too.
For fucks sake. Do you think a job in IT pays enough to cover my bills?
No. And it doesn't let me afford a $1500 machine every 10 years either.
Some people need those machines to make a living.
