I am looking forward to mass effect andromeda but I'm trying to figure out which version to buy, PC vs Xbox One S.

I'll be playing on the same monitor and with a game pad regardless, so it comes down to which platform will have a better experience.

Be warned, the PC is old except for one GPU and ssd addition a while back.

CPU:Intel Q9550, quad core 2.83GHz

GPU: Nvidia GTX 960 2GB

RAM: 4gb ddr3 1600

Storage: Samsung Ssd

Thank you for any insights in advance!

CPU: Xbox One S might have a better advantage for more cores. BUT, the Q9550 still has a higher single core performance, so the results depend on the games you play
GPU: your old system's 960 beats the integrated AMD GPU as of performance, not memory size (but who cares....)

RAM: get 8GB to at least get enjoyable gaming. the Xbox wins here, but you can upgrade the PC to 8 easy.
Storage. the SSD is consistently faster than a Xobx HDD

so it all comes down to what games you'll play, and the resolution you will play at

at 4K, or 1440p,, heavy multicore games I suggest the Xbox one s, and at 1080p with more single core games (indie, light threaded games) PC

Higher resolutions actually take load off of the CPU, so his PC will still be vastly better.
