Is 3k enough to PC game?

An upper high end gaming PC will cost you around $2,000. If you wish to get something at the very high end, those cost around $3,000 including all peripherals. Ultra high end... it goes up from there. Diminishing returns kick in after about $1,500 and fall off sharply after $3,000.

Unlike their predecessors which were released in 2005 and 2006 respectively, the XBox One and PS4 are not in any way equivalent to modern gaming PCs. They would have been impressive 2 years ago, but an equivalent PC can be had for about $600 to $800.

$3500 is really overkill for a pc. You can build a a top of the line computer with $1200.

This website can really put things in perspective. It will tell you the price of a part and how well it can perform.

Here's a super super great build for 2.5k: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2u4V8

that is actually quite alot i got my computer for 800 dollars (alot of stuff were on sale) and it can run most games perfectly 3k is really good if you want a high end gaming pc

With that you can buy a good gaming pc, 1 next gen console and a ps3/360.

If i were you I spend 1500 on pc, 400 ps4, 200 ps3 or xbox and 900 on game,steam sale or anything else you want.

You can get a pc capable of running games on max settings at over 60 FPS for 1.5 k or even less. The thing is steam is alot cheaper than xbox or play station marketplace with some game sales being 10%-90% off of the original price. It is nearly impossible to get a good xbox one or play station 4 game for under 30 dollars id say.

He can buy ps4 for the exclusives infamous,Metal Gear,kingdom hearts,final fantasy,killzone,or xbox one for halo,dead rising,gear of war.

Yes he sure can. But what do next gen consoles run at 60 FPS? Games on pc such as counterstrike don't have much of an FPS limit and can run at 300 FPS, and YOU WILL notice a difference if you get the right monitor. You would also have to pay for a membership to play online on a console anyway but if you get a gaming pc no membership payments unless you play EVE or a game similar to that, that charges money then you would have to buy a membership to play that specific game. you also get a wide array of free to play games such as Dota, War frame, TF2, and planet side the list goes on and on. Planet side will be on next gen if im correct but consoles will never have as much f2p games as steam does. Id say there's more pros than cons on both consoles and computers it just depends on what he wants and what hes looking to pay and play.

I would suggest this monitor its only 100 dollars more and it is sooo much better. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236313

I know PC is better but there are some game you cant get on pc. So if he want to play those game then he can get a ps4/
xbox

There are also games he cant play on the ps4 or xbox one that he can on the pc. Every console has their exclusive titles.

I not trying to turn this into a vs I already stated that with 3k he could spend 1500 on pc, 400 ps4, 200 ps3 or xbox and 900 on game,steam sale or anything else he want.

You're going to want longevity as well as performance, so first thing you really need to research on is for a power supply. I'd recommend a 1200w corsair, since corsair is renowned for their quality and customer service.

The next thing you should look into is a proper motherboard. It will depend on what processor you choose, as for Intel processors I cannot stress enough that you have to have the correct socket type on your motherboard to match which processor you choose. Now AMD processors are backwards-compatible between AM2+ through AM3+.

The next thing would be, if you want a top-of-the-line cpu that won't dig into that 3k, I'd recommend looking at this high-end cpu chart. http://www.cpubenchmark.net/high_end_cpus.html

The higher the score the better that cpu will be able to increase your over-all gaming experience and stability.

After that, you will need RAM. Let's be honest here, 4 gigs is enough for anyone, anyone telling you that RAM is the key to better performance only knows the tip of the iceberg. So I'd recommend this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226199 if you're going with an Intel CPU.

This: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231445 if you're going with an AMD CPU.

I'm not going to recommend over-clocking since I'm not really into it all that much, but a nice coolant and fan won't hurt. Here is some nice thermal paste: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835100007
As for the fan, it's okay to settle on the stock fan for the processor.

Right, so that leaves the hard drive and the GPU.

Your GPU depends on your processor and your power supply. IF you're going to get, let's say, an HD Radeon 7990 or something to the deep-end, you will definitely need a good power supply, not only to make sure your PC won't start cooking eggs for you, but to ensure you can get as much juice out of what you got. The processor is important for a GPU so that it doesn't get bottle-necked and you can run it at a constant frame-rate with little to no st-s-stuttering.

I'll let you decide on the HDD, and for speakers, a mouse, a keyboard, etc. it's fine to have a default on those.

Of course this is my own opinion, but always remember to research everything you're interested in. Make it an investment and don't hesitate to ask the comparison from one part to another! Research, Research, Research!
