I was always a console gamer, I always had a console from the Sega mega drive right up to the Xbox 360. I bought the Xbox one on release day and thought it sucked that much I sold it on eBay a few days later and built a gaming pc..

This is my system spec...

I7 4770k
Gtx 770 2Gb
Msi z78 gd65 gaming
16Gb crucial ballistix sport (2x8)
128gb Samsung ssd (830 I think)
2x 1Tb wd black hdd
Corsair carbide air case
Corsair 600w psu

... And I play with an Xbox 360 controller on a 50" 1080p Panasonic plasma lol....


Recently I've been thinking of selling it and buying a ps4.. the only reason I want to do this is because my real life friends are on psn... Every last one who has played My PC thinks it's class but I can't convince any of them to get a proper gaming rig.... And now that fifa 15 is coming out in a couple of weeks I'm seriously tempted to sell it on eBay.... Unfortunately I don't have the cash atm to just buy a ps4 or I would prob have both.. ps4 for online and pc for single player games


What should I do? Do you think it's just a case of grass is always greener and I would regret getting rid of my gaming rig or should I just sell it and go back to console gaming ?

Also how would my rig compare to a ps4 ?

I'd consider friends > hardware every time.

Having said that, you could just sell half the RAM and the GTX 770 on eBay, and keep the rest of the PC for general use. You'd probably get ~$300 just from those two things, easily enough to eat most of the cost of a PS4. Then, in a year or so, you could decide whether it's worth it to stick a new GPU in your PC. The new card series with full DX12 support will be out by then anyway (rather than DX12 'feature level 11' like the current cards) . That's what I'd do.

It's not like the i7-4770k is going out of date any time soon. People who have i7-2600ks still have exceptional gaming performance, and they'll only hold up better as more games make use of the i7s 8 threads.

Well, let's start by saying that this PC definitely crushes the PS4 in performance! But personally, I would rather take friends over performance. Video games are so much more fun when playing and talking with friends, even if you won't have 60FPS 1080p graphics. Amazing what friends can do to enhance gameplay.\

But if you built the rig already, keep it.

You could also sell the 4770k and the GTX 770 and buy something cheaper and have some $ for the PS4. You could use an i3 with a GTX 750Ti or something like that if you want to game on the PC later. It's up to you, but I would keep the PC.
