Hey /g/,

Consolepeasant here thinking about switching to PC.

But since I have fuck all knowledge on how PCs are build and how they work I need you to post guides on how to do this shit.

Also

I want you to spoonfeed/partpick me a PC that has the same power as the Ps4 if not more but for the same Price.

Your help is much appreciated.

Building a gaming rig is all about upgrading, not building.

Once you have existing parts, upgrading is trivial. If a new game comes out that requires upgrading, it isn't hard to spend less than a new console to upgrade for it.

Then you're set for a few more games further down the line. Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

That sounds good but isn't 16 gig ram normal for gaming PCs?

>>51030031
The problem is I'm a complete tech noob,are there any good sites that give tutorials to build/upgrade your PC once you have the parts?

The PS4 uses an AMD HD7870 and an AMD FX-something iirc.

If you spend $350 on a pc you aren't going to be able to play much for very long. PC gaming is better looking but its way more expensive especially in the long run. A console bought now will be able to play games for the next 8 years or so. A pc bought now will be lucky to play all the games that are out right now for 350 let alone 2-3 years from now.

Why can the console play the newer games if it has the same old hardware?

Lower resolution, lower framerate, and optimised and tested specificly for the hardware.

Not quite. Closer to a HD 7850, and the APU uses what is basically 2 Athlon 5150s spliced together. Much MUCH slower than an FX.

No, 16 GB is for those idiots that hive $3k gaming PCs that give marginally better results.

8 is the normal amount of RAM for a gaming PC.

>>51030092
AMD is actually better for budget gaming PCs. They are like $300 less, and you only lose like 3 FPS.

>>51030199
Because it is a single piece of hardware so Devs can optimize around it, while on PC you can't get that tier of optimization because they have to account for nearly infinite combos of hardware.

They don't make updated models of consoles. The 360 and ps3 were the same throughout their entire lifecycle. Can a pc run dark souls 2 with just 512 MB of ram? Shit is super optimized for consoles.

Probably the comfiest starting point if on budget , I'd just drop the 120gb ssd and advise buying 256gb one later on.

If you already have a PS4 you have no real reason to go ahead and buy a PC just to play games.

Gaming on PC is quite sucky if you are looking to preserve the console experience but with better graphics.
