motherboard-m5a97

-CPU AMD fx 8350

GPU-gtx 1060 6gb wind force edition and oc edition it came oc

psu csx 600 corsair bronze
ram 16 gb ddr3

case nzxt black blue edition.


WiFi adapter is ac1200 reason i am using a WiFi adapter is because my router is to far for a cord concoction.

i looked into the ryzen cpu and ddr4 ram its expensive for me to upgrade to the ryzen system it cost just as much all together it add up to the same price as the xb1x so i dont know what to do yet. would like an opinion before making up my mind on this thx.

Well, it depends on what you want. Having in mind that you seem to be used to console gaming, Xbox One X would be a nice option. However, you should have in mind the advantages and drawbacks.
For once, a console is a more casual way to play, but doesn't offer you as much customization options as a PC.
On the other hand, many Xbox games are now also released on the Windows 10 Store, and you can use a Xbox controller on a PC with no drawbacks (I use one myself on my PC).
If your problem is time, getting the console would be a good option, but it also depends on the games you play, try to see if they are also released on the Xbox itself.
(Personally I'll buy also a Xbox but I'll keep my PC, since I need it to work, but that's my personal...

I can't make that decision for you, but at least I can bring you my opinion.´
Hope I helped,

Well, most of the Xbox communities mught be acessed also trough Windows 10, but that's a *uestion of checking it out. If you have Windows 10, give that Xbox app on it a go, see if you can sync it with your Xbox account.
Also, If you wanna play games that are in the Xbox anyway, getting one might be a good idea. Now it depends if you will keep your PC for other affairs, besides Gaming

My opinion (having tried the pc gaming venture myself) is that console is just a lot simpler to play. You see a game you like, buy it, put the disc in and play it, when your console needs an update, its automatic.

On pc, games dont seem to be as plug and play, certain settings will make them freeze or play up, so theres sometimes abit of tweaking and diagnosing problems. You need to be keeping your firmware upto date. Hardware constantly needs updating at a big cost, heat can be an issue on intensive games etc....

Im not disputing that PC is probs better, but for a casual gamer with a budget, console is much easier and cheaper!

Once again, it depends on what you want. I Play on a Pc since I need it for work and other business, and there are some games that are better on PC (games with keyboard + mouse like shooters). But I also play a bunch of driving games, and for that, a console is easier since it's *uick to set up.
