What is better a ps4 or this game pc:

I7 2600k
Asrock p67 pro3/asus-p8b75-m-lx-plus
8 gb ram ddr 3 1600 mhz crucial
Coolermaster n300
Asus Gtx 670 2gb/palit gtx 760 2gb/7950 windforce 3 sapphire 3gb
430 w psu
Sandisk ReadyCache Solid State Drive 32GB

I know this are better specs because the gpu and cpu are better but with a console you will get better graphics with the same specs because the os uses less and games are better optimised for consoles.

I can get this system for about 400 euros because and thats the price of the ps4 in my country. Also, when there is a / thing i can choose between one of those components so your advice is welcome.

I also would like it to mine bitcoins with this system if i dont go for a ps4 so that is important to to choose the right parts for bitcoining (i dont pay the electric cost) Sorry for my bad english if u dont understand something u can always post it here. Budgetguy

Edit: is it better to go with the gigabyte 7950 windforce now or wait untilk the hd 9000/8000 serie comes out and go with that. (Its rumored to launch in october eith bf4 the game why i want to buy a new console/pc)

There is no official release date on the next AMD graphics card series yet, rumour has it they might start hitting in October, and even then odds are only the flagship card will be out at that time, and it will be quite expensive eg. $500+. If you are willing to wait a month or so and can save up more money to put into the graphics card, then maybe it might be worth waiting. If you need your new system now, or aren't going to have a lot of cash available to buy a graphics card, then you might as well go build now with what you have selected.

Console DO NOT have graphics better than a PC, nor are games "better optimized" for games than PC, and the OS on a PC has no impact on gaming.

Get the PC.

EDIT : And you need an AMD graphics card to Bitcoin properly, Nvidia GTX670 will not do it to any worth while degree.

Don't skimp on the power supply, especially if you are going for higher powered graphics cards, that is asking for trouble, a good quality 500 to 550 Watt unit is optimal for a single GPU build. Some good PSU brands include Corsair, XFX, and Seasonic. Avoid brands like Coolmax, Diablotek, Raidmax, and most CoolerMaster power supplies.

You're also missing a hard drive, a 32GB SSD will not be enough, that will barely hold Windows 7, and you won't have any room left to install even one game, aside from maybe a really small indie title. Consider dropping down to an i5 if you need to save some money to get a hard drive and better power supply, the i7's main advantage over the i5 is hyperthreading, and that won't really benefit game performance in any way.

If you want to do Bitcoin mining, you're going to want to go with the Radeon HD 7950 or another AMD card, as Nvidia cards are considerably slower at Bitcoin mining due to their generally weaker GPU computing capabilities.

Most likely the 760 will perform the best out of those.

I already had a hard drive this is just as boot ssd i forgot to say that sorry. The i7 2600k was80 euros in a shop while its normally 200 or so znd it was a mistype because 19 minutes after my order they changed the price in 280 euro and i already buyed it. And the outervision psu calculator calculates that my osu needs to be 265 watt 315 recommended. So i tougth that a 430 watt corsair buikder would be enough but noe im considering a xfx 550 watt psu which seems to be nice too

I would go for the XFX 550 Watt if I were you, with the graphics cards you are looking at, you're going to be pushing your luck with the Corsair CX430. The CX 430 only has 28 amps on its +12V rail, or about 336 watts of power. The +12V rail provides pretty much all the power for your CPU and graphics card, as well as hard drives, and other devices. The Radeon HD 7950 can use up to 179 watts just on its own. The CX430 should work theoretically, but you will be pushing it close to the limit, and will have little headroom to add additional devices or to overclock. Running your power supply at close to maximum constantly is also not particularly good for the unit's lifespan either, and if you are going to be Bitcoin mining, you're likely to be running your graphics card at maximum power consumption for extended periods of time.

Edit: as for motherboard, I'd say go for the P67 board with the 2600k, it will allow you to overclock if you wish, the B75 board doesn't allow for that.
