Funny how this is all in USD, try living in England where everything you mentioned costs about the same but in Sterling, you're looking at almost twice as much for a basic gaming rig.
Sure I could build a PC that will suffice, but it's not going to last very long and will need an upgrade within the year. |

To be honest, you can build a very solid PC right now for roughly $800 (using your current TV as a monitor if you're too cheap to actually buy another monitor). It will last you for the foreseeable future. Technology isn't getting that much better any time soon. We've already approached and hit that limit of expansion on the nano-scale level that the speeds aren't going to be "that" much faster 2, 4, 6, or 8 years from now (Moore's Law). Things are only going to get cheaper and cheaper because they aren't getting any smaller. Sure you can cram another two cores into a processor but it's not necessary to get anything more than a quad core right now and these are standard. So, $800 today, or $600 tomorrow (when Legion is ever released). It's still going to be an improvement at very low cost. (And for those that can't afford a computer at this price, you need to get a ******* job and stop crying about being poor you lazy fucks. Just because you can't afford one doesn't mean the world has to continue producing **** games on **** consoles. Adapt or die.)
From what you've written here, it's safe to assume you're a ****. Read the above post and stop assuming everyone who can't afford a PC is lazy you ignorant ****. |

Edit: You also forgot a PSU. Its more like -ú50 difference I built a similar budget pc in Feb, case, 550w psu, 4gb ram, mainboard, I5, r7 260x, 1tb hd, dvd drive, cpu fan and thermal paste for -ú520, however the cpu came with a fan and pre-appiled paste so i could have saved -ú30 there
So -ú150 more for a PC that is outdated by the time you've built it? Grats.
Consoles have a lot longer lifecycle than a PC because the hardware never changes, and developers optimise over the course of development cycles and for this reason alone a -ú350 PS4 will always be a better investment for gaming. |

Someone farted in your cornflakes didn't they!
I was a little mad yeah, certainly not jobless and I have a great life. I live in my own house, with my awesome fiancee who is also a gamer (who owns her own business and has a 26 hour week working for another business).
However, after rent and bills and food, I have a wedding to save for and other things too like my hobbies.
Just because people can't afford the one thing that quite clearly defines what it means to have a life in your opinion, doesn't mean that they don't have one. |
