Would you rather have a machine that you can go without buying anything for a decade? Then you don’t want a console. Personal Computers, better known as PC’s, are what most people call “the master race of gaming”. They’re called this because they are the best modern device you can use for video gaming. People believe this because you can save a lot of money, and you can also play games without noticing any screen tears. Consoles claim to be better than PC’s, but they’re practically the same thing. The only difference is PC’s you have options to the comfortability of a controller, or the accuracy of a mouse. You can even change the performance your system outputs for better gameplay. One thing that most people think why consoles are better …show more content…

Not exactly. In the long run, the PC will be costing you much less then paying for a console. This is because you can replace parts in PC’s when you cannot do the same with consoles. PCWorld states that “you could easily stick to a budget build with as-needed upgrades and be totally fine for a long, long time, especially if your goal is only to stay ahead of consoles. Stagger them and you'll end up spending the same or less than if you bought a new console every three or four years.” Let me remind you that Sony and Microsoft both have released two different consoles in the last three years, not mentioning the PS4 Slim, costing you a minimum of seven hundred and fifty. Meanwhile, according to PCWorld’s Hayden Dingman “the PC is admittedly more expensive up front, but your upgrade path later is markedly easier. If you're a budget gamer, you can probably run the same processor for up to six years, and the same graphics card for four to five years. Case? RAM? Power …show more content…

This is due to a CPU and GPU you could purchase. The CPU is a AMD 8-core FX-9590 that outputs 4.70GHz, and the GPU is a GeForce GTX 1080 Titan with 1.81GHz. You might be wondering,how come the consoles didn’t a GPU. This is because the CPU is an APU which means that the CPU is also a GPU, which limits what the consoles full potential is. PCWorld’s Brad Chacos says “On the flip side of the coin, you could drop a thousand dollars on your graphics card alone if you want eye candy that’s borderline life-like, or create a gloriously monstrous multi-monitor setup, or be slightly more reasonable and build a gaming PC that falls somewhere between the extremes. Single-monitor 2560x1440 gaming at 60fps is the current PC gaming sweet spot, in my opinion, though shooting-game fans sometimes aim for a 1080p monitor capable of 120Hz to 144Hz for faster reaction times—neither of which consoles are capable of.” PC out-performs consoles both performance and graphics. If you’re wondering if all this is true, then why don’t console gamers become PC gamers? Simple; this is due to a process that happens to most people called post purchase rationalism. Post purchase rationalism is when you buy
