is it possible to build a console killer for $350?

a 750ti with heavy factory OC costs 160 euros
>it gets 15 fps more than normal 750ti

if you wanna kill a console you gotta get wireless kb+m & wifi dongle & 360pad + wireless reciever + hdmi - 100 euros together

we already spent 260... still no case/mobo/ram/psu/cpu

oyy Mohammed yes i have, but today i took the day off

day off= no money

here in my country we dont have paid vacation

the real question is why would you want to do that
>>
>>322095740
Well, for 300 bucks I'm sure that you can get sufficient gear to rob your local electronics store.
>>
>>322096513
to get the best of both worlds.....console style gaming BUT with pc's piracy and 5% better gfx
>>
>>322095740
I was going to respond seriously but I'm not sure I'm not getting trolled
>>
>>322096513
If you have the cash, you should not do this. Getting marginal gains on console games will lead to an outdated PC given the quality of optimizing ports most developers partake in (poor).

But I can hear the argument that if you cannot afford a PC for use of internet/bill pay/school work and a 300 dollar console (plus the now required online fees), might be wiser to build a 400 dollar PC instead and enjoy older/less demanding games while not sacrificing livability of using consoles for web browsing/social media/youtube/etc.

It doesn't matter if you can build an equivalent device for the same price or not.

All that matters is you can spend double the price and get vastly superior tech. It'd be like buying a car and your only option is some piece of shit that goes 20 mph tops.
>>
Why does it have to be $350? Why don't we stick on the $250 you'll be spending to play online as well? And the hundreds you'll be spending just because console games are more expensive?
>>
>>322095740
Why would you need a fucking wireless keyboard and mouse, that sounds awful.
>>
>console killer pc

This will never exist. It doesn't matter if it cost only $50 bucks, the average person isn't going through the trouble of building shit.
>>
>>322095740
The problem is that you people who make these comparisons always forget that everybody when they mean console killer, means ps4.

Also google potato masher.

But then again you can still resell your console games and get solid 50% of the price back again (if you sell them on ebay instead of trading them into JewStop like a retard).

You can't have a killer PC without a killer app.
What's PC's killer app?
>>
>>322098814
Undertale.

>>322097617
This anon is totally right.

Everyone who cares enough about gaming to be on 4chan or even follow Gamespot/Giant Bomb/IGN closely (i.e. beyond quick review peeking), should absolutely have a gaming capable PC. But, the dudebros who only show up for Madden, Halo, COD and the occasional oddball Western RPG (fallout 4 or Skyrim) will not have the desire to learn anything beyond plug and play consoles.

The true console killer would be a Steam machine. But then the line between console and PC is further blurred.

The concept of a $350 PC is silly, you don't get a PC to break even with the consoles, you get it to utterly crush them, for that you'd need to get into the $500 range by spending extra on the graphics card and the processor.

If you buy a wireless anything you are a fucking moron and should not be allowed to handle technology.
My WIRED KB+M cost me about $10-20 and has lasted me for multiple years
I don't have a wifi dongle because I'm not a child so I can put my router wherever I like
I don't even know what you mean by "wireless receiver" if you already said wifi dongle so not gonna bother with that
HDMI cords are about $5 and if you pay a penny more you're a moron
Wired 360 controller runs you about $25
Total price of the build I posted and the extras you mentioned there: ~$420
I didn't mention a monitor because in this day and age you can use the same shit for a console and a PC
>>
>>322098169
You can either buy a PS4 game for $60 and sell it back for maybe $30, or you can buy the PC version for like $20 or less in one of the constant sales.

Ok, if you mean console killer, we don't take display into account, because TV is not considered a part of PS4 price. I have a cheap but very decent and reliable logitech wireless keyboard, cost me 10 euro. Any OK mouse will cost you ~15 euro, some steelseries one like mine costs more, smth like 30 euro. But since we are talking purely CONSOLEKILLER, we only need a gamepad, and a PC WIRELESS XBOX360 oack cost me 32 euro this summer (gamepad plus dongle). Forget the hdmi as well, we are not talking about parts of the PC that are not ''the box''.
Regardless, you will probably spend MORE on a proper pc build AT FIRST, but you will save vast amounts of money for ''online pay'' and games themselves with pc. It is like installing and LPG system into a petrol run car, at first it's more expensive, but eventually it pays off. E.g. I got fallout 4, Just cause 3, witcher 3, alien isolation plus dlc for 40+18+27+10 euro, all together being 95 euro. What would that cost me on the ps4, as well as 3 months worth of service? I don't know the price of servise, so let's just count the game prices. I think it became clear already. Oh, and sony and cocksoft don't recognise Swedish bank cards, so I can't pay for their games in the online store.

Don't disappoint me
>>
>>322099789
Fully agree. And the moron OP is a usually sonyfag or billyboy, cause he forgets that his parent had to buy the TV 10 years ago in the first place. it did not come with his console. Of course with console of this gen being so fucking archaic in technology, you don't have to worry about upgrading your tv in the next 5 years guys.

>>322095740
Just spent 600 $ building a new pc. It can run everything including the witcher on ultra at 60 fps. Get games free if I pirate.

Or I could have spend 350$ + online + games only to play at 30 fps and medium settings. Also dont forget dropping an extra 400 $ on an hp laptop cause I gatta shitpost on /v/ somehow.

Thx but no thx op
>>
>>322100934
Yeah no you're not getting 60 fps on witcher 3 ultra at $600

Post the parts

That is actually pretty funny. Are you sure you're qualified to give others advice about computing?

Sure it does brah, I got 400$ computer off best buys bargain bin and it gets +60fps Witcher3 on my ultra hd tv with hairworks on

Wireless is garbage if you're a gamer and value input response.

Short answer: Yes

>>322101156
At least it isn't outdated before it was released unlike the consoles.
>>
>>322101156
op here... i7-920 r still not outdatd after 7 years

factory oc'd 750ti will last 7 years too .... remember that now we have reached the resolution plateau (1080-p)

i cant imagine gfx getting uch better now...remember the minor difference between x360 and x1? x360 is a decade old

YOUR OPINION GOES INTO THE TRASH

>>322101276
At least it is upgradable.
