It is expected at this point that after a PlayStation launches there will be a slim model released mid-generation. These slim models serve a purpose. First. The slim would normally launch around th…
Well I ain’t into building PC, but that doesn’t seem true as Gamingbolt, Gameranx and LTT tried and failed.
One day it’ll probably be true, but not for now.
And then you have to factor the fact that even an equally powerful PC is gonna be running Windows which is bloated and will eat a lot of the ressources.
You can build one at microcenter for a similar proce to a ps5. The issue you run into is like for like parts.
For instance the ps5 uses a zen 2 processor which would be the 3x00 series ryzen but on the pc both the 5x00 and 7x00 chips are out on the pc.
So if you want like for like you can even save more money by buying used. You can get a used ryzen 3700 for $50 and a mother board for $50. You can buy ddr4 3200 ram 16 gigs new for $40. Sp you are looking at $140
You can get a used Radeon 6600xt for $170
So you are now at $310. Microcenter has 1tb nvme drives for $50. So $360
That leaves you $140 for case / power supply
Of course I’d suggest anyone who wants to build a pc jncest a bit more and got worh a ryzen 7700 with ddr 5 and either an rdna 3 or love lace gpu. But that will be closer to $1k
Ps5 came out in Nov of 2020 sp you couldn’t even buy a ps5 four years ago.
It also doesn’t matter because this new slim system just came out. So you are already informed throwing another $400-500 at just a smaller version of the console or you are buying new in which case you can build a pc that is much more powerful
You can build something much more powerful than the ps5 for that cost
Strange, your part list seemed to get cut off from your post …
Ha, got em.

You just need to shop deals.

@Pasta4u try said the same thing almost 4yrs ago. Like to see a $500 4yr old PC run FF16 at 4k in quality mode.

Also ff16 does not run in 4k native.
