My current PC Specs are -

Processor: AMD A8-3870K
RAM: 8GB (2x4GB 1333MHz)
GPU: AMD Radeon R9 270X
HDD: 1TB
Motherboard: MSI A75A-G55 (FM1 Socket)
PSU: Antec VP500PC (500W)

I want to buy a good machine on which I can play games (especially FIFA). I am looking for a PC and a PS4 but I am really confused between both of these options. Upgrading my PC to (i7 4790K and a compatible mobo). This upgradation is costing me same as PS4. Please help me out for which should I opt for a PC with upgradation which is costing me same as PS4 or a PS4?
 


You don't need a 4790K for a good gaming computer. All you really need is an i5 quad core and a decent GPU. If you got an i5 4460 and an H97 motherboard it would cost about $270. Your GPU is ok, but you could upgrade to an R9 380 or a GTX 960 and still come in under $500 and have a vastly more powerful system than a PS4. The PC will last you longer, play games at higher FPS, and make them look better than a PS4.
