Hey guys I know this question was probably answered a million times before and the debate about PS4/XB1 and PC will go on forever but I have a question to ask that is very specific in nature and only applies to me as an individual. So here goes:
I currently own a mid range gaming pc(check specs below):
BitFenix Prodigy Mini ITX Case
Corsair CX500W PSU
Biostar TH61 ITX Motherboard
Intel Core i5-3570K(3.4GHz) default clock speed
8GB Corsair XMS3 1333 Mhz RAM
60GB SSD
500GB HDD
EVGA GTX 660 FTW ACX 2GB GDDR5
I am thinking of purchasing a PS4 which is cheap and runs games at reasonable FPS 1080P. However I am also torn between upgrading my GPU(and probably RAM/HDD at a later date) in order for my PC to cope with the need for better hardware in order to produce better graphics for newer games. I am expecting to play games like Dead Rising 3, Ryse Son of Rome and in general major title releases(which have higher hardware needs in terms of both CPU and GPU). I am quite an experienced user and have built quite a few gaming PC's in the past so I understand the difference between better resolutions,framerates,tweaking settins etc, but I still believe that my PC still has life left in it and can beat a PS4 as it already is. So If I spent around £250 and get a decent spec GPU I might be able to get better performance in all categories(framerates and bump up the settings even more).
Should I invest in a PS4 or just spend the £200-250 to buy a respectable GPU like the R9 280X for example?
Thank you in advance guys and with every reply I would definitely appreciate if you justify the reasons for choosing either the PC upgrade path or the purchase of a new gaming console like the PS4.
