Okay first things first, I'm 14 and have 345 USD Max to spend and have 2 options.
1. PS3 + GTA V
2. Budget PC
I live in Sri Lanka and hence the prices of everything is a little higher.
The 12GB PS3 Super Slim is costed at 270$ with no bundles.If i purchase the PS3 i will be getting GTA V along with that, totaling 330$ averagely.
If i purchase the PC the configuration will be as follows.
-Pentium G3220
-MSI H81M-P33
-4GB HyperX Fury RAM
-500GB 7200RPM Western Digital Blue Caviar HDD
-Seasonic ECO 500W
-Cooler Master Elite 431
I will be using the PC for gaming and facebooking.
As you can notice I've skipped on the graphics card as i hope to buy one later on in around a year or so when I do my exams.The PC will total 330$ averagely. I know AMD APUs are more suited to budget builds but AMD solutions are pretty thin on the ground in Sri Lanka
Which should I pick the PC or the PS3 with GTA V ? No console vs PC wars please. Is the PC with the graphics card a year later worth the wait. Please reply informativeley im on the verge of purchasing either one of these.
 
Solution
the 750ti would be a more powerful GPU than the ps3 definitely,

but it depends on how long you are willing to wait.

before you get your 750ti, the pentium is going to be very weak for gaming.

If you bought the PS3 it would be a solid gaming machine, while of you got the PC it would be very weak until you got the graphics card. The PS3 is still a good console, and while there may not be many more games coming out for it, you have a huge array of popular games to choose from. In this circumstance I think you should go with the solid PS3 and enjoy yourself in GTA V.
