except it is , but no one , not even PC gamers give a **** , the only people who do give a **** are the same guys whom we call Console peasants , except that they have a PC.
The only reason, and I mean the ONLY reason I run a powerful Desktop and laptop with an i7 and 16 gigs of ram is to help run my music studio program run fast and at high quality. When you have 8 pieces of outboard equipment and 16 high latency programs all running at once, you need a good system to help run everything smoothly.
The only reason I can think having 64 gigs is required would be for 3D graphical editing at a professional level. That **** is intensive.
"Hey anon do you know my friend anon?"
"No what is he into?"
"Well he's a Vegan and works at that crossfit gym, he vapes and he says he's apart of the 'PC Master Race' I think you might like him"

"FuuuuuuuuuUUUuuuck that'
I'm too skint to build my own desktop so for now I game on my Sony Vaio. It can handle most games but the second I try out a gaming engine like CryEngine it melts my PC and crashes on loading. Sad times, all donations welcome
I feel ya. I had a Toshiba Satellite I was using to play games, it could run most games but would have a seizure if I tried to run anything that was even slightly intensive.
I finally just dropped the cash on a good PC though, and damn, ***** noice. Definitely recommend building one once you get the dough.
Planning to build and not buy premade cause I can have a little more control over the configuration and saves the money on having one built by someone else, but I think it's a long way off based on my current financial situation. I just want a good PC that runs quickly and displays beautiful graphics on a really good monitor. A girl can dream
Yeah, premade is a ripoff in most situations. It's always a little more expensive your first build though with having to get the monitor(s), OS and other things like that. Whenever you get the money for one just go over to pcpartpicker.com you can find/make some pretty good builds there and test what you can get for your budget.
lemme see if I got this right:
>PC's can run games better with higher resolution/fps, faster loading, etc
>a PC does not necessarily cost more than a console
>a PC that runs games better than a console will most likely cost somewhat more than that console, varying based on how much better
does that seem accurate?
why does everyone care about what platform is best?
i like my pc because in my experience, it offers what i want, and consoles don't.
other people have different experiences, and like consoles better. why give a **** ?
Eh, a desktop PC is a nice thing to have for gaming, but it's not super accessible to a huge audience, you can't crowd around the PC and play games with your kids, or have friends over and play party games on your pc, or a bunch of other dumb reasons. I don't mean to say that consoles are better, i'm just saying something like the steam machine or that alienware "Console" is going to become more prevalent in a household. Consoles wont last forever on the market, but a highly specialized and compact gaming machine probably will. It will come down to preference, the desktop pc that runs windows, or the living room cube that runs windows.
To be fair you can plug a PC into a tv and buy adapters to have multiple controllers plugged in at once, it's just a hassle if you use it as a computer as well, as you'd have to either move from your desk to your tv or move your tv to your desk.
