Well you can divide your games.I mean,PC is best for all shooter games and console is good for racing games and fifa.But,with PC gaming,you get much better graphics and the games are way cheaper than console games,so its really up to you

i got the specs of this video and the guy shows himself playing on ultra with the same exact build

Immaculate · Feb 3, 2014

Please please please do not buy a $20 PSU. Buy aby Seasonic,XFX,Corsair PSU about 450w or more, they can be had for a little more money but they will serve your system much more reliably than that piece of crap in the video.

What settings do you have for BF4?

Well,i would suggest you get another RAM(4 GB or 8) of the same brand you are using for better compatibilty. I have never heard of the mobo though,,,your graphics card is good,,so is the PSU

Shantanu Ghose · Feb 3, 2014

Also on what i see on the internet,your motherboard is not that good.So it would be better for you to get a new one from a better brand like Gigabyte,ASrock etc.

i dont understand?? if you meant "this for a PC" then Yes,it is

Immaculate · Feb 4, 2014

ECSmakes some OK motherboards. The good ones are usually ASUS, Asrock, Gigabyte or MSI. As for the RAM, dont use 1 stick, that CPU is designed for DUAL CHANNEL RAM, meaning 2 sticks, one in each channel.

Well its really upto you! But i think you would be better off with a PC. Just invest more money into upgrading the PC and it will outperform a PS4 anyday ^_^

wat about the build i have no

Mark this thread as solved if you are satisfied

Your PC is good enough for now, that 500W CM PSU is enough to power your system so there's no big worry about that either

In terms of raw performance it should keep up with the PS4 for a few years

You don't need a dual channel kit of memory if you're running a dedicated GPU, in your case the GTX 660 so you won't lose out on much performance, if at all with a single stick of 8GB, no need to buy another stick at this moment

Dual channel memory only makes a big performance difference if you're running an integrated chip such as an APU

Also, a "Steam Machine" is just a PC with SteamOS installed, just use your XBOX controller as above with your PC and you should be fine for the next few years

In regards to games, Steam Sale prices are crazy low so you'll be able to pick up some great games at very low prices during sales, another thing to keep in mind
