So..
I've been planing to work in the upcoming holiday and sell my Ps4 to get a mid rage pc (about 650 euros) But it turns out i cant get the job i wanted so i'm left with one choice that i need help with.
Should i sell my ps4 to get an ultra Budget pc that has the intel Pentium g4560 and the Gtx 1050 Oc along with 8gb of ram ?
will it preform better than the Ps4 in AAA games or will it be hard to play on high settings ?
I went back to play farcry 4 on my ps4 and i felt it being soo slow so as Bf1 beta, playable but slow based which gave me the idea to get into Pc gaming and build my own.
Ideas ?

It's really difficult to compare. In some titles, the G4560 + 1050 would outperform the PS4. In other, less optimized titles, the PS4 variants are generally optimized better for performance.

A 450EUR budget can work in some cases...

Assuming you don't need an OS:

Tell us your budget so we can review your parts list. One of PC gaming's main advantages is the ability to ajust settings to your PCs ability. That chip can pull some pretty good numbers on some titles, although the hardest ones like ashes of singularity expect to drop settings a lot. I think you an pull it off with those parts

Well so far i dont know
im trying to sell my ps4 with 2 controllers + 2 games for 300 euros which seems impossible for now since people are selling for 200 and less so im kinda Stuck somewhat and have no idea what to do
if i do manage to sell it around 250 Euros i can add 150-200 and end up with a 450 Budget (note the 350$ builds in the us cost here in germany around 450+)

If you do need an OS, you really have to make sacrafices on either the CPU or GPU, which wouldn't be worth it.

If you have anything you can reuse from an older desktop (Case or HDD would be about it), it would free up a little of the budget - but ultimately I think that's as good as you can do on a ~450EUR budget..... without really cheaping out on a poor quality PSU etc.
