Hey all. I cant decide if I should upgrade my computer or get a ps4. Here are my current pc specs.
AMD fx 4100
gigabyte 990fxa ud3 rev 1.1
8GB RAM
Sapphire 6870
1TB HDD
Antec VP450
So I was thinking about getting a ps4 as a cheaper alternative this generation rather than worry about upgrading my pc every 2-3 years but then ill miss all the great steam sales and pc exclusive titles like the upcoming civilization game . I cant decide between the two.Basically if I go with pc again I want a console like experience on my pc I dont care about playing everything at ultra settings which lets face it consoles play everything on the low-medium settings anyway they just upscale to 720/1080p. However if I go ps4 its only a one off investment and im good for the next 5-6 years or whatever but I miss out on steam and pc exclusive titles because by then my computer will be well out of date but i get the added benefit of console exclusive titles like Kingdom hearts 3 and final fantasy 15 which I do want to play . Now if I do upgrade my pc the gpu I want to get is the 7850. Now If I have read correctly the 7850 is basically on par with the gpu inside the ps4 .For the cpu I want to upgrade to the fx 6300. Now the apu inside the ps4 is The Jaguar core.its 8 cores but Its a low-power architecture. Like Intels Atom. They have much lower performance per core and per clock,and it also runs at much lower clocks. Would the FX-6300 be on par or weaker than the apu despite the apu having 8 cores? or in the end does it just come down to software optimization? the upgrade would cost $383 which is much less than a ps4 costs here in New Zealand ps4 is $649 so the upgrade is much cheaper which is a plus and I can buy that upgrade right now. if I want a ps4 I have to wait a few more weeks and sell my ps3.What should I do guys? move to consoles or stick with pc?
