Current Events > Are prices on gaming PCs still an absolute disgrace?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Last time I checked on PC Partpicker in Australia, to play the latest games at higher settings was gonna be about the $1500 range which is an outrage. It seems the GPUs is what drives the price up.

For the same first time I'm actually considering just buying a Xbox Series S to go along with my Switch and Ps5

Getting a PC will always be more expensive than a console. And yes, the prices are still high.

The payoff comes when you build a steam library that consoles can only dream about, and when the next 2 generations of consoles come out you just upgrade one or two parts.

Yeah computer prices are fucked here. Not as bad as they were a couple of years ago but still way above consoles.

You can find a Series S for dirt cheap in comparison. I got mine for around $300 thanks to an Amex rebate and still got $100 of Xbox credit with it. If you're willing to go second hand you could probably get one for under $300.

1500$ is alot to you for a high end pc? (not saying its not alot, but for a high end pc, I mean most high end tvs are 1500-2000$.. Ut's the expected price )
You realize video card alone is 500-800$ right?
