Save $1500 Go buy a gtx 1080 and an i76600k and you be good for another 12 months
Sebastian Hall
An hero? Maybe be?

>local computer shop and buy all the parts wat you physically went to buy consumer electronics? have you heard of the internet?
Jacob Garcia
What are your specs and what are you playing?
Adam Peterson
That doesn't sound like a good investment, game developers will always make sure that until next gen consoles come out, that your console can run it smoothly, stick wit the xbox plan
Michael Nelson

>new games Impatient bitch doesn't know how to wait for a sale. >$600 for a gpu Nigga I bought an r9 390 last year for $250 and it runs BF1 1200p @ ultra >90 fps. This is with a 5 year old AMD FX-6300.
Jackson Cook
Yeah that's what I want to do, hence why I'm selling the pc while it's still upto date hardware
Justin Martin
i don't know, maybe you're shit at building PCs?
running on the same PC since 2010. plays any new game at least at xbox quality. also, if i'm patient and don't drop the (almost always overpriced) $60 on a new game at launch, by the time i grab it from steam/humble it's a) cheaper, b) patched, c) optimized by the community w/ mods, etc.
fucking buying a new gpu/processor/ram every few months? the fuck is wrong with you?
Matthew Turner
Yeah I'm not running cheap ass amd... that's why it's $600
Michael Young
?There's your problem?
Jackson Roberts
I just built a pc for 5 grand CAD
Suck my fart hole
Nolan Garcia
Because I don't want to live like a peasant playing less than 60fps and 4K graphics?

>Build pc in like 2009 >Pretty decent at the time, around 1900 bucks. >2013, most new games won't run on xp anymore, and my gpu has been fucked for a while >Replace everything besides power supply and cabinet, probably another 1200 or something, can't remember >2016, still runs everything on max, no issues at all.
Probably still good for a couple of years, and you get even more for your buck today
Wtf are you even building if it won't even last you a year?
Daniel Martin
It's. It really his problem though And slow down and wear soooooo quickly
Tyler King
This is a bait thread and I fell for it, I'm ashamed
Matthew Flores
The fact that this thread starts with a post where you bitch about the costs involved in running a gaming PC means that you probably should be rolling with "cheap ass amd"
People don't make gaming PC's because it's super cost-efficient, they do it because they want to run their games at the highest specs and have the ability to micromanage their build.
Lincoln Gomez
>4k >complaining it's expensive
And you wanna switch to Xbox?
Hudson Johnson
lol nigga I have a GTX 660 and an i5 4670k @4ghz, been having since early 2013 and new games still run fine on medium-high, still looks better and runs better than console
Elijah Russell
well obviously. i fell for it too, but i wanted to get good and mad.
Tyler Lee
Are you fucking retarded? is your pc $500? you dont need a fucking titan top of the line graphics card. you need an ok cpu an ok graphics card, some decent ram and a decent hard drive maybe 1tb You dont need to replace parts ever unless you bought completely outdate lowest of the rtange dogshit No you don't need to upgrade to the newest most amazing gtx 6969 each year
Jaxson James
Had the same comp for 5 years now. $1100 and still runs any game no problem. never had to replace a part. what the fuck do you fags do to your pcs to fuck them up so much
Ryan Gonzalez
Yall niggaz fell hard for this
Jackson Myers
Lol op torrent your games if ur that poor you fucking pleb
Christopher Adams
Quality bait.
My favorite part was when you said you could have just bought an Xbox, lol good times.
Kayden Morris
Follow my example OP, buy an i7 and a gtx1080 so that you can run on 1080p and so that you can post faster on Sup Forums
Grayson Adams
Suck it down
Nicholas Perez

Jonathan Collins
Too much pron and too much Sup Forums... that's what fucks em
Lucas Robinson

Jaxon Anderson
You fucking fuck
Juan Watson
Buy good shit next time my fucking pos Alienware laptop from 2013 can play anything new at at least medium at most high and my pc from 2009 can play low to medium obviously bait
Jeremiah Harris
>built a pc for gaming I found your problem gaymer goy
Michael Turner
wait for AMD Zen or buy AMD's 8350 or 9590 (corei 5 = i7 fps wise, i5 ~ 8350/9590)
get an 4+Gb GPU (R9 or a GTX 900 series or if you have money a 1080)
>Playing at 510fps when the human eye can only detect 150fps
An faggot
Jonathan Adams
Fucking prick
Matthew Peterson
pls no, I can't afford to fix right now
Luke Hill
cant risk it
Elijah Garcia
The fuck is an i76500k? New time you try to bait actually do some research faggot.
Ethan Russell
He has a point you know.... kys
Nathan Gray
>4k >60fps >why does it cost so much
Holy fuck this has to be bait, no one is this retarded
Benjamin Collins
how the fuck
Chase Jackson
>can use gtx970 and old cpus from 3+ years ago to run latest games 1080 60fps on on ultra settings
Hmm, really makes u think.
Jaxson White
YARG? YARG!
David Carter
nigger
Angel King
6500u... my bad
Charles Scott
Yeah, with a 1060 you can run literally everything on medium, which an Xbox runs at.
Adrian Davis
> additional $600 for a new gpu or a new processor or more ram or something burns out what type of god-awful bullshit did you buy? my 2012 beast lasted me well into this year with 600$ in parts... what the fuck, are you retarded?
what why did you get a server chip why do you now have an i7 what
maybe this whole building a PC thing wouldnt be so fucking awful for you if you just read a damn guide or looked for a decent build instead of going full retard
Samuel Morales
You sick fuck
Ian Taylor
Loli fag detected
You just played yourself nigga
Joshua Reed
I have a 1060 and it can run most new things at ultra/very high. You're doing something wrong.
Jaxson Garcia
You deserve death.
Isaiah Parker
why you gotta do me like that mane smh
Jaxon Kelly
I had a 750ti but I upgraded the 1060
Nathaniel Long
The speed of which games need more from your components are slowing, but still, are there. Save your money, don't buy all the games coming out (only the actually good ones, don't buy on release, wait for reviews) and have your graphical settings turned down a bit for the more demanding games. You will eventually save enough money for, at the end of the year, to upgrade to the highest at computer components.
Jace Watson
Running a 1060 with an old cpu, most games getting 60fps on max with only slight dips
Brandon Baker
Yes, you're either trolling or stupid. your 1060 can do a lot more than an xbox. If you want to stick to casual gaming then just get an xbox.
Jacob Turner
funny how you complain about cheap ass AMD, buy a useless upgraded processor, then skimp on the GPU
Noah Reyes
First, a PC is a universal tool that can do a lot more than just gaming. I big part of my job on my PC, financial stuff and more. If you haven't learn coding, it's important now and will be much more in the future. So don't sell your PC. Reducing the topic to gaming: There are games that are only available on PC or play a lot better on PC. Reduce your PC gaming to that. In most cases exactly these games do not require that much processing power. You might want to buy a ps4 pro by saving some money for other games. Be prepared not to get the same experience as a high end PC but as you might have realised the difference is not worth the price for most people. Finally - your setup or just random battle station? If first, put your PC under your desk. Put a useful book there instead.

newfag detected. Don't post here for another year or two, until you learn how images work and when a post is worth making. You failed both of those right now.
