Can /v/ build a PC that will run games at equal or greater settings than the Xbox One X and costs $500?
>>
yes
>my old computer - free
>980ti - $500

get fucked op
>>
>>388459967
Yes
>>
>>388460118
You mean a 1070 or Vega 56 for $400
>>
It's impossible. There's no way to build a PC with a 1070, 12GB of RAM and a 4k blu ray player even for $700. And even then it would still have a shitty form factor compared to the One X.

i see simply a cpu and gpu and nothing else. also no pricing or anything given
>>
>>388460418
I cant run Forza 6 Apex at 4k/6fps with a 1060 and ryzen 1600. No way that'll cut it for 7.
>>
>>388460215
OP asked for $500 not $400
>>
>>388460595
An RX 480 can run Forza 6 Apex at 4k60, so you're doing something wrong.

Except it is. When you lost parts for a DIY you only list the price for the new things you and the not ones you refurbished

Can OP build an Xbox One X that has games to run at equal or greater settings than any given PC for any price?
>>
>>388459967
Honestly, the whole "get a gaming desktop for cheap, forget consoles" meme is pretty shit. If you're doing absolutely nothing but playing (current) games, getting a console is probably best.

PC is great if you actually use it AS a PC and to play games at slightly higher framerates. This is speaking as a midrange PC around like the 700-900 dollar range, starting from scratch. You aren't going to be getting a 1070 and whatever new i5/7 for under a grand.

And at that point, you're getting into high end PCs so you really can't compare them to consoles anyway, performance OR price-wise.

GPU market is fucked at the moment, so this'll probably be as close as you can get using new parts.

If you don't add a monitor (use a TV temporarily) + m & KB to the price and pirate windows/use linux.

The 1050ti/g4560 meme build popular right now is right at $500. (this includes motherboard, ram, case, etc)

If you don't have m+KB add another $10 to the price, they aren't expensive.
>>
>>388461496
If I didn't some faggot would complain about no M+KB or Windows.
Here's one with MIR that stays below $500.

I'm sure you can build a PC with more games than a Xbone for under $500.

An usb stick wasn't needed at all even without the Windows being free argument

That cheap version of Windows is just a key+download, so yes, it'll require a USB.

>>388461735
CPU doesn't matter at 4k and the GPU already has 8 GB of VRAM, so RAM isn't an issue either.
>>
>>388461946
You mean that CPU has no correlation to game resolution whatsoever you fucking retard. It's just base potential framerate, and the GPU would affect resolution

Okay.

>>388462687
mentioning cpu and resolution in the same sentence is extremely dangerous in terms of bordering on full on tech retardation. You should have said that an i5 is more than enough for 60 for in any game regardless of resolution
>>
>>388459967
This one is pretty close. Once you factor in games being cheaper and not paying to use your own internet it's still world's cheaper in the longrun.
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/2zJgjc
>>
>>388459967
Just get a pc with a cpu thats newer than 2004 and buy a decent gpu.

1080p is easy to reach on pc, and 30fps is a 1999 problem on pc.

You could buy a cell phone and have more games and exclusives too
>>
>>388463025

8300 and 570 running Forze at 4k 60fps? You are retarded

Oh, and that PC costs way more than $500.
>>
>>388462925
But even an i3 is enough for most games at 4k60.
>>
>>388463226
A 570 is about on par with an RX 480, which, as demonstrated in this thread, is capable of running Forza 6 at 4k60.
>>
>>388459967
Just go to Newegg, and look at the DIY Bundles, It's only a couple hundred more in total but you're saving so much more money in the long run

Man what a PS2 rip-off
>>
>>388459967

Perhaps not but I'm going to need a PC anyway and there's some genres that have almost nothing on consoles like strategy and MMO that I enjoy, so I'm always going to get a gaming PC rather than a box that misses out on some of the games I want to play just because it's cheaper.

Having a PC but not an Xbox One I miss out on maybe one or two games I want to play that won't come to PC (and I honestly can't think of any off the top of my head, almost everything for xbox one is available on PC as well)

If I have an Xbox One but not a PC I miss out on a lot more games that I wanted to play.
>>
You can't, the xonex is sold at lost.
Also the GPU are fucking expensive because of fat nerd miners.

cant wait to buy a bonexonex to play all those games i've already played but with higher resolution even though i dont have a 4k display and all the games are still the same frame rate and all the games are gonna be amazing like sea of thieves and even though all multiplayer games will be limited to whatever the non-x xbox one can do to maintain parity (can't have people having an advantage over other people with better frame rates or using a mouse lol fuck off pc nerds) it's just gonna be so amazing

great time to be a gamer.

>>You don't really /need/ a bluray drive
OP asked for a PC that will run games at the same settings, not for a PC that will play 4k blurays.
>>
>>388461025

The truth is most people don't even play games enough to warrant dropping the coin on PCs. It's all a dick waving contest.

$300 - 500 on a console, especially when it doubles as media center for streaming and movies, is an ideal and easy choice.

$800 - 1200 for a mid-range PC to get a dozen or so extra frames, a higher resolution (that doesn't mean jack shit because you're comparing a monitor you're a foot away from to a TV you're 6 - 8 feet away from), all while not being to play any console exclusives just sounds like a bum deal unless you were needing a computer anyways.
>>
>>388465563
Why 1TB? And the OG models are regulary going for $200 or $250 with a game.

>>388465916
Show me a 500 GB model new then please.

Yeah it looks great until you move the image downward and realize the XB1X's post processing, texture filtering, and AA management are utter shit.

Keep in mind the XB1X version is also locked at 30fps.
>>
yeah. gtx 1050 ti and i3 7100 can be done for $500.
>>
>>388465670
Fair enough.

I still stand by the general thrust of my post though. Search YouTube for "console killer".

You'll get a bunch of guys sitting at a desk talking through builds that they only speced out and didn't build or test. They take a ton of shortcuts, make assumptions, and use dubious mail in rebate offers.

It's a fun thought experiment that gets clicks, but there is really not much reason to actually follow through. Unless you absolutely need keyboard and mouse play, consoles are more cost effective at the lower end.

If you building a PC, go big or go home IMO.

Uwotm8?
That said, the console killers are often bullshit with underspecced GPUs.
That's not to say that it's not possible, something like >>388461181 is a reasonable XB1X-tier build.
The GPU market is pretty fucked ATM thanks to miners buying up all the stock and driving prices up (which will definitely affect the availability of consoles using AMD parts, especially the XB1X).

This is what digital foundry hath wrought.

No one plays games an inch from the screen, staring at beds. The fact that a single player game from 2015 is still at the center of this arms race is telling.

Rise of the Tomb Raider was a ton of fun, but I'll never play it again. Going back to it for slightly sharper image quality is silly.

A good non-gaming computer costs 500+, so if you're the kind of guy who wants a computer at all, the price of a non-gaming computer + console = the price of a gaming computer.

I haven't been able to convince myself to build a desktop in years. Modding isn't even a thing anymore in 99% of PC games and everything is aimed at toasters. I just use a $1k Laptop and Switch for working out of hotels and all the latest consoles for home use.

>>388468986

Not at the performance level that the XB1X is aiming for.
