"I can build a $700 PC more powerful than a PS5 Pro"....Richard from DF debunks this myth.

You have to add PS5 and PSN costs. $1500 total just for 60fps sub 4k

As much as I think the PS5 Pro is horrible value, I hate these fucking videos we get every new console cycle about “I built a PS5 Pro equivalent PC for the same amount”. Every time it’s some decent gpu with a jank cpu, no name ass RAM, a motherboard that has less features than a J Cole album and a PSU that’ll probably burn your house down.

 

PC is 100% the best play and where I spend most of my gaming time but if you build a $700 PC it's gonna be a piece of hot fucking garbage.

 

I'd say realistically, 1200 minimum for a competent machine. Maybe a bit cheaper, I'm used to CAD so not sure how it is in the states these days.

I was talking US when I said 1200. It’s 16-1700 for a PC I’d consider using up here. Taking into account exchange + US prices generally being more favourable I arrived at 12.

PS5 Pro ($700) + Disc Drive ($80) + mandatory stand ($30) + PSN online sub 1 year ($80) = $890

Mandatory stand?   None of those items you listed are necessary.

its weird they call it a pro model even though it has less things..  no disc drive no stand. a pro model should come fully loaded.

half of rent? where do you live? rent is like $2,500-$4,000 here.

my  bad, I live in L.A., but I split the rent. I was basing it on my half.

 

 But ya, shit's still expensive  for slightly better graphics.
