Hi all! I bought an XB1 a few months ago but have recently been second guessing my decision. With which system will I be able to run new games the smoothest and also with the highest graphical fidelity? My Xbox One or my PC (specs below)? Thanks for the help in advance!

Acer Predator AG3-605-UR37
Operating System: Windows 8 (haven't yet upgraded to 8.1)
Processor: i7-4770 @ 3.4GHz
GPU: AMD Radeon HD8760 - 2GB discrete
RAM: 12GB DDR3
HDD: 1TB @ 7200RPM

i would start by replacing the main boot device to a ssd .. i recommend a samsung evo pro 160gb and up ..secondly get a better graphics card would be better ..i recomend a r9 280x and up or a nvidia gtx 770 and above .. other specs on your pc is just fine and wont need any upgrade

the system is more powerful than the xb1 but i would say the xbox would perform better because the games are always tailor made for the xb1 to play it smoothly .. with console you never run the risk of lagging but with pc if the hardware aint good enough you will suffer .. system wont be able to max out any new games but it should just be a tad behind the xb1 in gameplay

Okay, interesting. Where would you suggest I start if I decide to upgrade a couple parts to my PC?
