I'm not sure what to do with my £400 spend it upgrading my computer or buy a playstation 4.

My current computer specs are -
Intel i5 2500K
H61 Mobo
4GB Ram
Nvidia Gtx 550 Ti 1GB DDR5


So everyone just what should I do lol, any suggestions and why would be awesome.

What powersupply do you have in your system ?

If it is good enough, Basically you could just upgrade your graphics card to R9 280X for example and call it a day.

The motherboard is not overclockable and a rather weak one at that. The computer has more uses than just gaming, but in terms of raw power, the PS4 will beat that PC build configuration.

This would do.

Allows you to overclock your CPU, replaces the motherboard with something a little better. 8GB of ram. And a GPU that runs stuff like BF4 on ultra at 1080p.
