PS4 vs PC - Pros/Cons

[NoChart]

Premade comps are always going to run you more than if you build it yourself. It’s really not that hard diy either. However, if you want a good gaming pc that is almost as the same price as buying and building yourself, check out digital storm. They custom build pc’s or you can buy one of their prebuilts.

Let’s make a comparison. Here’s the baseline Apollo rig from Digital Storm. $1991 dollars without custom water cooling, a monitor, a mouse, or a keyboard. That’s fine, yeah?

Problem is:

That’s the same (or as close an analog as you can get- what the hell is Digital Storm brand anything?) rig. Shipping included. If you’re okay with Digital Storm outing you for $527+ to make a rig, that’s fine, but people need to be aware of what they’re really getting.

Isn’t all the sky lake processors ddr

I was thinking of buying a gaming laptop, I was looking at the new dell inspiron i7559. I was looking at the specs and it seems pretty good, but I’m pretty new to the PC gaming realm. The specs for it are

[list]
[]Intel Core i5-6300HQ 6th Gen Skylake Quad-Core 2.3-3.2GHz 6MB Cache
[]Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M 4GB GDDR5
[]8GB DDR3L
[]256gb ssd
[/list]

I wanted to know if I could run SFV pretty good on this. Thanks!

Just a heads up: laptop versions of existing hardware are gimped to hell. You pay for the mobility in a big way. The 960m is weaker than a desktop 750 ti, which is at the lower level for SF5’s requirements.

I was just going to ask… I thought all skylake tech was built to use DDr4 ram only…

This. Building your own PC is much easier than people think. There are tons of guides out there and resources/help on which parts to pick with reddit, pcpartpicker, tom’s hardware, etc.

Yup, make it easier on yourself and by a case that comes pre wired with its own built in wire hiding system and a modular or semi modular power supply and its just plug and play. It can be intimidating at first but it isn’t bad at all.

No not at all, sorry I mean a case that has a decent wiring hiding system in place (like say the NZXT S340) and a semi modular or full modular power supply. It made the experience less intimidating to me on my first go around so I recommend it to anyone who is just starting out (plus the NZXT cases are dope af)

That said, many retailers often have Case + PSU or Motherboard + CPU combos and they usually come with a bit of a discount.

Also, we’re getting sidetracked here a bit from the original topic so let’s leave the building-a-pc-is-easy argument for a different thread.

You are right, but my 860M ran the beta pretty well at 1080p. I got a few rare slowdowns but I didn’t even bother to mess with the graphic settings. I think they were at least on pair with PS4 version.

It depends on the model. Some are within 100$ of building yourself and having digital storm do it for you. For example check out the vanquish model. When you look at opportunity cost of your time vs. 100$, that’s not bad. Some people would rather spend their time doing something else and having a company build their computer for them. It also comes down to having another option available to you as a consumer.

Also compared to prices of premade computers from Dell, Asus, etc. These are way better deals. Obviously building your own computer is the best course of action as I stated in my previous post, but if you’re going to get a premade, I would totally recommend Digital Storm.

From what I’ve seen, it looks like you consistently pay an extra 30-40% for Digital Storm’s services. Obviously that means that the gap is going to look smaller on a rig with a lower overall cost.

692 X 1.3 = 899.6 (Vanquish 4 Baseline Price = 899)
1463.15 X 1.36 = 1989.89 (Apollo Baseline Price = 1991)

Quite frankly speaking, I’d rather get on Skype with someone and step-by-step them through the build then watch them waste a sizable chunk of money on something that is ultimately unnecessary.

I agree. My main point was in comparing premade computers. Some people opt to go those routes, and getting a premade at best buy for example is way worse bang for your buck.

[NoChart]

Every time a friend or family member buys a pre-built from Best Buy or Wal-Mart, my response is usually something along the lines of:

“It would hurt less if you looked me dead in the eyes while you flushed that money down the toilet, then went and slapped me in the face.”

I don’t know how many times I have to explain these concepts to them before they catch on.

[NoChart]

Alright, so I got some builds together for SFV.

**

1. All prices include shipping.
2. As a rule I avoid mail-in rebates.
3. You do not have to pay $100 for Windows. You might consider PMing me to find out why that is.
4. You can always buy used, but remember that you’re playing roulette. Retailers like GPUShack can offer some refurbished products with a warranty, but that’s the exception rather than the rule.
5. The market for PC parts is very volatile. Things change quick and they change often. Builds will be updated as necessary.
6. The following builds are for the US only. If you need European or Canadian, PM me.**

We’ll start things off with the lower tier at $450 with the Hadouken.

Basic level gaming at 1080p resolutions. Should handle most tiles at medium with some tweaks needed for the more aggressively “optimized” games. The power supply and the processor will need upgrading first before you buy some balls-to-the-wall graphics card as an upgrade, so keep that in mind before pulling the trigger.

Next up is the EX Hadouken at $600, with a much better processor, a better GPU, and a power supply that can survive an upgrade to the GTX 970 if you’ve the mind.

Next up is the Denjin Hadouken at $700, a great all-purpose gaming rig that should run SFV at High to Ultra settings with few issues.

Need assistance with Monitor and Keyboard/Mouse selections?

A 1080p monitor with fast response time is key.

Keyboard/Mouse selections are much less important overall.

What would be a good budget AMD build that can run SF5 reasonably well? I can’t define “reasonably”, so I will leave it up to you.
Higher level AMD’s are still cheaper than Intels right now, right? What about their radion stuff compare to nvidia?

All 3 CPUs should have no problems running SFV. I wouldnt recommend FX-9000 series due to TDP and pricing.

And what’s a good budget graphics to go along with it? and mobo and stuff… heck, please do all the parts work for me lol.

This is my current AMD tower

Fatality 990FX Killer ATX motherboard
AMD FX 8350 4.0GHz processor
Crucial 8GB RAM
Gigabyte GTX 960 Graphics card
Corsair CX600M power supply
Cooler Master Hyper 212 cooling fan
LG 24x DVD/BluRay burner
Western Digital 1TB HDD

The discount I got from my Dad working at Micro Center helped, but got it for less than 600 from what I remember.

What would be a good budget AMD build that can run SF5 reasonably well? I can’t define “reasonably”, so I will leave it up to you.
Higher level AMD’s are still cheaper than Intels right now, right? What about their radion stuff compare to nvidia?

With Nvidia your best bet is 750 Ti. $110 with a $20 rebate.

I have a very similar setup. Difference is I have 16GB of ram, 750w PSU, and R9 290 videocard.

How reliable is PowerColor? They have a r9 270 for $109 with $20 MIR on newegg.
