>>520831129and in real life you never did any of those. you just click a button and call it modding.

No money. I just blew $8000 this year on porn. I'm in the middle of an emotional breakdown

Because between work, kids, and social life I have only a few hours a week for vidya. I don't have time for troubleshooting, hotfixes, mods, etc. Hell the only game I even bought this year was Doom Eternal on Xbox because I've used Game Pass or Switch Online for everything else. PC gaming is for people with free time.

>>520831531What does $8000 worth of porn look like?

Why the fuck have GPUs gotten so expensive? I remember the top of the line being 600 bucks tops for most of computer gaming history, then came the fucking Titan and good goys started buying it in droves normalizing 1k as the top price for GPUs and giving NVIDIA the go ahead for all the fuckery they pulled after that.Can you idiots please stop buying overpriced trash ruining it for everyone else?

>>520831606It's Nvidia, they've pushed up the cost of GPUs multiple times and because AMD can't go toe to toe with them they stand uncontested.Just buy AMD gpus on sale if you want them cheap, I bought an R9 Fury for $225 in 2016 and I'm still happy as hell with it.

>>520830129But there is like 2,5 exclusives and the rest of it can be played on PC. Why would you bother with shitty blurred out graphics, low fps, minutes longs loading screens and being limited by shitty gamepad controls in every game, then after all that even paying dogshit subscriptions. Difference is so huge you would never want to come back. Not to mention that having ultimate multimedia setup that can do pretty much everything you ever want and not being restricted by proprietary bullshit. I'm starting to think console retards are just lazy fucks that don't want to learn anything new in their life.

>>520832928I'm currently using an RX 580 but I won't buy any new AMD cards until they decide to have drivers that work on day 1.

>>520830067I honestly can’t think of a single reason to get a gaming pc. It has literally zero notable exclusives. Multiplats are by far the worst on pc because pc bersion are always broken and buggy, aren’t guaranteed to work on your hardware, and make you waste time on settings like an autist.

I haven't looked at PC hardware for like 10 years. Are there currently SSDs that would match performance of the next consoles? I would like to build a new PC when the new Nvidia cards drop, but I want to be sure it would at least be better than a console in every way

>>520834659Go slow, dont get frustrated and if you do take a break. Discharge your hands on a piece of metal every 30-45 mins if you live in a dry place. Watch a linus pc building video alongside it if you have to. Remember the CPU clamp will need 50% more pressure to clamp than you think it does and that you arent going to snap it if you go slow, dont use more than a dot of thermal paste the size of a dime on your heatsink.

>>520837509>the very definition of KEKED.You call getting ports of all 3 consoles a bad thing but I think it's a positive. Exclusive PC games have shifted from what they used to be. There's a lot more flexibility and experimental titles on PC. AAA games have mostly shifted to console, but PC also gets those games. Also, it means I don't have to buy an Xbone, Switch or PS4 since I get titles from all 3 on one platform, with better graphics and mods. Can you play with Jill's titties hanging out in Console Resident Evil 3? Can you play with detailed cunny on Console Dragon Quest 11? You simply can't, so to me that is well worth the wait. I'll just play something else, life goes on. PC gaming is bigger than ever and only getting better. Many developers have already gone on record claiming that even more titles will get PC ports than ever before.

>>520838423Anything under 4.8ghz is pathetic.

>>520838878It's been my mantra that you should only upgrade if the gains are more than 35% over what you currently have. To me, this means that I only upgrade computer parts every 6years or so. 1080p is fine since you are more than likely getting over 120FPS. 4K is just now consistently reaching 60FPS, so you can sit on that for another year or two if you want. Higher than 60FPS at 4K will be more feasible by then.

>>520839174so far everything I've had from nvidia, amd, ati and intel over the last decade has all worked perfectly fine for me, so I just buy based on price/performanceI could've gone with a 10400 and 2060 instead but 3600 and 5600xt was considerably cheaper overall so I rolled with it

If you have to talk someone out of this purchase they are already a lost cause. Only buy a gaymin laptop if you travel for work and already own a desktop. They are shit.

>>520839887It's different for every game, some games have really elaborate mod management tools that resolve conflicts and configure the load order for you automatically, all you do is download the mods and add them to the manager and press a button.Others require extracting and dumping the contents of the mod directly into specific folders in the game directory and hacking a .dll file with a hex editor to get the game to accept them, and if you want to use multiple mods at once you need to examine all the conflicting text files that both mods have and figure out how to merge all of their features yourself.

Normies don't even know 1440p exists. 4k is recognized, 4k is a standard because it's difficult to achieve, 4k is a measurement of quality. You'll be painted as the retard you are in a year when consoles are pulling 4K and your "Gaming PC of $1000" can't.

>>520830129All? Are you sure?

>>520830067Why doesn't nvidia or intel pay one of those big kiddy streaming like ninja or tfue to build a gaming pc on stream? it would convert so many people.

>>520840657yeah but the more complicated stuff is a great motivator to learn how your computer actually works along with how folder structures and naming conflicts and general computer logic is setup

>>520830580This. Though I might just buy a 3300x and a 1660 Super to ride me over until next year, and then get a RTX 3000 Super card and Zen 4/Ryzen 5000 w/DDR5

>>520840789Who gives a shit about consoles? 1440p on my PC looks better than any console game at 4k, dumbdumb. Also, I can pull 4k better than next gen consoles already but I like 144fps. You're retarded. Stop posting.

>>520841002>Who gives a shit about consoles?As a gamer you SHOULD care, because consoles decide what ports you get, what gaming trends are popular and get games made in that style. Individually, no console outsells PC but all consoles easily outsell PC if you combine their numbers.>Also, I can pull 4k better than next gen consoles alreadyBullshit. You need a 4K TV or monitor to pull 4K. If you have a 4K set up, why are you saying you don't need it and that 1440p is "good enough". Your logic reeks of bullshit and half assing.

I could go buy a 4k monitor tomorrow but no PC can run 4k over 60fps and I like playing at 144fps. 1440p looks great, retard. Stop giving people advice when you clearly don't know shit about what you're talking about.

>>520853180Building a PC from scratch and upgrading are almost identical in terms of skill required.>>5208533822080 super (depending on your definition of diminishing returns), and the CPU depends on what resolution you intend to play. If you want lower res at higher frames get a 10600k, of you're planning higher resolutions it doesn't really matter as your GPU will be the bottleneck, so a 3600 would do.

Because PC gaming isn't as fun as console gaming. There's also not much reason to invest more than the bare minimum into your PC, buying a used office PC and slapping in a new PSU + a graphics card will make 99% of the worthwhile PC games available to you.

Henry is no looker when he was a lanklet casual vanilla when he was young(watch the Count of Monte Cristo) but once he got buff and starts caring for himself, its just on another whole level.

>>520852075legal and extremely based, chadvill a best

It's 600$ and I only have about 200$ saved up so far

>>520830067Wow he is literally me.

The real question is if you can build a PC then does that mean you cook meals also?

>>520833767He needs to experience consequences for his actions.

>>520863495When the mood takes me, yes. It's mostly about preparation, you want to cut and prepare as much as possible before heating anything up so you don't leave it to burn while trying to prepare other stuff, if you're just starting out.

>>520863495I cook pretty much all my mealsIt's weird to think about just ordering out all the time

>>520853645Looks eerily similar to the computer I just mothballed in my closet.

>>520863495Yep. I have a perfect chocolate frosting recipe and a perfect potatoes au gratin recipe.

>>520830067Not gonna spend 1000 bucks or whatever just to play games. I don't give a shit about doing mods, drawing, 3d modeling, coding, or spending my time doing configurations on things, don't care about anything of this. Waste of money, it would be. Not gonna dish out a grand just to play old and new games and listen to music.

Intel or AMD?

>>520869398 i don't care about that

>>520869489You would if you tried playing the game you played at 30fps at 60fps or above.

I haven't built a PC since 2012. I need to upgrade and build a new one, but I have no idea what to even do or where to start. I want a high mid range build, the works

i guess i could build a new pc but my current one is "only" 4 years old and the only things i play are ps1 games and crpgi wonder if i can sell some old parts like my GTX960

>>520870289Cope consolenigger.>Broken shitty ports that even if they work stable still have missing visual effects because they was made by faggotsThe amount of truly broken PC ports is nonexistent. Even the ports that get called bad are still multiple times better than the console versions.>You mean set it to low?Tweak it so that the game that runs at 40fps runs at 60.>Consoles already have unchangeable highLower than the lowest settings on PC actually. Witcher 3 for example runs on consoles at settings below "very low".Pretty much everything else you said is also just absolute bullshit. PC remains utterly superior.

>>520830129Only playing games released after 2013 at 30 fps must be a special kind of hell.

>>520830067poorfag.

>>520871167Whoops this ain't the Metroid thread

>>520830067Poor, dumb, or lazy. Those are the only real reasons.A true ultra-high-end gaming PC, full set when you have nothing, costs closer to 5k. That's about the best CPU, GPU, ultrawide gaming display, and proper peripherals (a $100 mouse and $150-200 keyboard, etc). They require you to actually learn something about overclocking, tweaking settings in games, learning about mouse sensitivity and real aiming etc. and all the other stuff that comes with PC's, like modding, scripting, etc.Course after that, it only costs about $1000 a year to keep it updated, not that much as far as hobbies go but it's plenty for poor fucks. In the long term, a PC isn't really that expensive an investment thanks to piracy etc, but for poor, dumb or lazy people, the short term investment of an easy-to-use console makes more sense. They don't have the patience or the presence of mind to do long term anything, and poor people are usually the first to take shitty deals where they pay 50 bucks a month, every month, instead of just saving up so all they need is 300 bucks a year. That's why they do quickie loans etc.Consoles as a business are a literal scam. They undersell the packages, like drug dealers giving the first dose for free, to get people hooked in. Then they overcharge the services, games and all to get the people invested... after a few years, these people will have spent hundreds more than they would have on a PC. In 5-10 years, it's thousands more.
