That's "if" you have any interest in those other exclusives. I personally don't.
Clarified; thanks. But likewise, others may care more about PC exclusives than about PS4 exclusives.
A reasonably good mid-range gamer build that you won't have to upgrade right away? Oh about 1200 -1500 dollars.
Just as PC games ran on PS3-comparable settings throughout the PS3 era, games are likely to run on PS4-comparable settings throughout the PS4 era.
You can pay less, of course, say 700 -800 for a budget build
A year ago, Hairyfeet proposed a build for under 499 US dollars, including GPU and OS. I acknowledge a $100 price difference compared to the PS4, but one might choose to justify it with the ability to use it as a hand-me-down PC for web and office tasks even after it no longer runs new games. For someone whose game preferences are not dominated by PS4 exclusives or PC exclusives, how does this build compare technically to the PS4?
