Hi guys. I'm not a smart person that can make a smarter choice. That's why I ask u guys. I have a PC and my graphic card is 4 years old (2010). I'm thinking of Upgrading my PC. But I'm affraid because I can't play latest game on PC because latest games always have a bugs. performance problem, bad port. But the game on the PS4 is OPTIMIZED.

So , My budget is around MYR600 and I dont know what to do :3 .

My Spec :
.Intel Core i3 3220 3.3Ghz
.ASUS HD 6950 DCII 2GB DDR5 256Bit (2010)
.ASUS P8H61-M LX3 R2.0
.Corsair TX750
.Corsair 2X4GB DDR3 1600Mhz

Should I sell my pc and buy a PS4 or use my MYR600 to upgrade my PC :)

Depends on what things cost over there. From what I understand, thats only $184 USD. You would need to sell your PC for $200+ to net enough to get a ps4 new. Or about MYR220 in your currency. That PC probably wouldnt net you that much. Also, will you be completely without a PC at all if you sell this one? A PS4 simply cant take the place of a PC in many aspects. Personally, if on a budget and without any need of the traditional uses of a computer, I might choose a PS4 in your case. In the long run, it will be cheaper to maintain. But games are usually a bit more expensive on it VS the PC. It's really a matter of opinion.

I have a notebook and a Samsung Galaxy s4 which is enough for me. So I might be OK without my PC .. but I still don't know yet how to make the decision. It's really hard for me and I can't sleep thinking about it. I've just got Dead Rising 3 from steam and it's UNPLAYABLE. And then there's a game which is good on Nvidia but bad on AMD. and Vice versa. Im planing on getting the GTX750 Ti OC 2GB . But I don't know if its worth or not . Watch dogs on PS4 is 1080P 30FPS . But its 40 FPS on GTX 750 Ti with ultra setting. So can I say that it's worth getting the gtx 750 ti than the ps4 ? Hmm .. :(

your PC isn't TOO bad, but i know how you feel. My old laptop was the very lowest end of pc gaming; I had to overclock it just to play the lowest settings on crisis 2, max payne 3, and saints row 3. what pushed me over the edge is when i bought watchdogs the weekend after it came out, and couldn't even play it. But I live in Alaska so I get a PFD to pay for PC upgrades.

Enough about me, lets talk about you. It sounds like you don't want the hassle of overclocking or doing other tweaking in the BIOS. You just want a zero maintenance option that is fun to play without the hassle, right? Go with the PS4. you can't go wrong that way. it is the best console on the market, its games are - like you said - optimized, and games actually come out faster for consoles than PC.
The only downside to this is graphics. the PC will always be the better choice for graphics, but the price is so high. You could buy a new Nvidia graphics card with 600, but that's all. You would also need to also buy more ram. then you CPU would be the bottleneck and you would need to overclock it and upgrade it in 2 years.

So the bottom line is get the ps4. It will save you so much time, money, waiting, and frustration. I hope this helped you.

Your system is not too bad,just upgrade the gpu if the graphics are not to your liking.That cpu should still be good enough for decent fps.Look at this,
http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/cpu/display/core-i3-ivy-bridge_5.html#sect0
the res is not full-hd,but i don't know what you're playing at.The lower the res the more it's down to the cpu,still fps should go up.
Another one,
http://uk.hardware.info/reviews/5446/27/intel-core-i7-4790k--i5-4690k-devils-canyon-review-haswell-for-overclockers!-benchmarks-hd-7970-hitman-absolution-1920x1080-high
is;"Benchmarks (HD 7970): Hitman Absolution (1920x1080 High)".A recent game at high,at full-hd and gives you with that cpu still ~40 fps

Don't know what gpu you can buy with the money you have,maybe link some examples here and see if they are really an upgrade over that hd 6950.

Your amount of ram is fine too,no need to upgrade that either,8gb's of ram is really enough.
Do you have fps problems anyway with that gpu? Aready older but you should still be able play games with it on lower settings.


If it's about this,

I can't play latest game on PC because latest games always have a bugs. performance problem, bad port. But the game on the PS4 is OPTIMIZED.
