I'll never understand, really I see no appeal in bragging about a PC, cars I can kind of understand because they have practical use and restoring a car takes a lot of effort, especially if it's a classic, it's probably more expensive and harder to track down by far, whereas you can just order the parts you need for a PC. I don't really get the appeal of showing off anything but, alas, people get theirs kicks in different ways.

I never got the appeal of either, but at least PC's can be used to their full extent. Buy a super fast car and you'll still only be able to drive at the speed limit.

You obviously have no idea the kind of effort some people put into building computers.
I love building PCs. If you have any questions about it feel free to ask. I can help you with almost any kind of PC you'd want to build.

Oh, no, I'm aware the effort some people put into it, and I can understand the satisfaction of really creating the beast of a machine you want, but I find it hard to find pride in something made by just putting pre-made parts together, I'm not saying people shouldn't find pride it in, but I'm just saying I don't, because I don't understand it being that much of an achievement, though I suspect that probably comes from my history as an art student, I never did like collage pieces.

Obviously, it's a lot more achievable to create an A1 pencil drawing than constructing and harnessing all the materials and energy needed in building a computer piece by piece.

Some people go a lot farther than that. Some people buy highly specialized parts from third party sellers, or use power tools to change the composition and function of the computer case, or painstakingly paint everything to achieve a certain color scheme or even create elaborate cooling systems that disperse heat somewhere outside the building. Basic users like me just buy certain parts and put them together. The only customization I do is route the cables so as to keep them out of sight (which I suck at), but some people with MacGyver their PCs together in completely original ways; these systems can take months of hard work to put together.

This is my problem people act like PC games are all harder and that it makes PC gamers more intelligent people just because of the platform when it's obviously not true.
I don't think anyone here has said that. Almost everyone uses the "PC Gaming Master Race" thing ironically/jokingly. We just think our method of gaming is superior (it is, by the way), we aren't saying that we as people are superior to console gamers. That's absurd.
You can't say you think it is and then that it definitely is lol.

Keyboard and mouse have failings.
Controllers have failings.
Leave it at that I guess.

And yeah I mean on the whole with the "PC master race" crap not what people in this topic have said.


I don't find it amazing when someones mom bought them a $2000 PC and I don't get how that makes them superior.
The PC might have superior hardware but...so? A s***ty gamer and a s***tier person is still the same no matter how much money they have.

It would be impressive to me if you created the PC in it's entirety not put parts together like a jigsaw most anyone who can read a guide or put this bit in this area could do.


Thinking about it now open world fantasy games aren't all that interesting to me, I like the combat and the magic etc but beyond that...nothing else.
Like in Skyrim holy s*** a cave holy s*** a witch lived here who did bad things. Why should that interest me? Random pieces of lore with no previous references/build up aren't exciting...

I think that's why I like Fallout a lot more because instead of some story about something you have no reason to care about it's usually something ridiculous that highlights how messed up the pre-war era was compared to the real world.
Or how messed up the current game world is, it at least offers the occasional chuckle worthy material or Vault full of people who can only say Gary and laugh crazily.


Also lol a voice actor had to say "Gary" in so many ways to a microphone for that, must have been an exciting work day.

Would buy a Gaming PC if I could afford one. Getting a good quality PC can be quite tedious.

You can get build one that beats consoles for ~$500.

The way you use 'getting' seems like you might be talking about pre-built ones. The only thing I can say about pre-built 'gaming' PCs is 'don't'.

Anyone who says they're superior because they own a powerful computer is a d***. I advocate for PC gaming because it is a better experience and is no more costly than console gaming. It is, in fact, cheaper in the long run (if you want it to be). We have Steam sales.

There are many ways to build a PC, some take almost no skill (like the ones I build) and some are very complicated and difficult (not to mention expensive).

I don't know what you mean by "put together in its entirety", but if you mean actually create microprocessors and RAM, well let's just say that for the average (or even well above-average, or even absolutely obscenely wealthy) consumer that is beyond the impossible.

If we're still on the subject of gaming, I can't say taking months to build a PC sounds more appealing than buying a plug-in-and-play console. Building a PC in general seems to be the biggest barrier for people to overcome, if not cost. I'm a casual gamer so I'm not too bothered about the machine it's on. I just wanna play the games, let someone else build the machine :=]: Also I have no space for a PC :p

I generally get consoles because that's what my friends play, and basically nobody around here uses PCs for gaming. If I was simply on my own then I'd definitely get a PC.

@FP: Keep in mind a PS4 only costs ~$400 pre tax, so a PC costing $500 should outperform it.

I never said it was a requirement. People who are really into it might put that kind of time, but that's completely unnecessary. To go back to the car analogy, you can either go down a dealership, buy a car and start driving, or you can spend months painting it, tuning it up, changing out parts, redoing the upholstery or whatever. PC gaming is the same way. Either you buy some parts, put them together in ~2-3 hours and start going, or you put a bunch of time into it and make something unique.

A $500 PC will easily outperform a console. Graphics processors just recently got huge price cuts. For $500, you can get a PC with about ~50% more graphics grunt and much more general use processing grunt.

Worse value. I can only recommend $500 and up. There's a huge difference between a $400 PC and $500 one.

A $400 PC would be about equal, possibly a little bit faster in all areas, but no true difference.
