im about to make a pc but im having this question in my mind, should i buy nvidia 3d vision 2 with asus vg248qe (total cost $500) or should i invest in a console like ps4 or xbox one(same price)...i mean consoles have games but 3d vision has an all new experience...as for my specs, this decision will have govern them, if i go with 3d vision then ill go with sli 770 and if i go with the consoles, ill go with single 770. im about to make a purchase today...so thats why i have to decide quickly...some say console gaming is the best and 3d vision is a gimmick others say that 3d vision is a game changer and is a must have for a gamer and that consoles suck.....help me out
 
Solution
If you like using a console and are into the exclusive games get a console. If not get the 3D vision and sli the 770s. You could always get both eventually, but in terms of PC hardware better parts come out every next year.

It's up to you, but PC hardware gets substantially better every next year (A GPU coming out next year will be ~25% better than GTX 780Ti and only $300!). If you use one or the other more get the one that you use more. Spending money on a sli'd setup and not using it often is wasting money. With a console... they'll be around the next 5 years and will get cheaper.
