I built my daughter a gaming pc that out performs the series X for under $800. A series X if I could get my hands on it retail would be $760. And it can do everything the Xbox can plus some 🤷🏻‍♀️. I own consoles. But the mind frame that you need to spend thousands on a pc build to be better than a console is just false information. I only get consoles when they’re outdated and the prices are actually reasonable or if they’re actually really worth it. Like the steam deck.

I would expect it to outperform it when it costs 75% more. So in my country for me it doesn't make sense, thats obvious for someone in the uk like myself but not to someone god knows where

I just gave you the price comparison. It was dollars. Not 75% more. I’m Canadian, the price margins on things really aren’t that different for electronics for here compared to UK. And gunna add I splurged in areas I could have saved money on her build. Like she has a really fast nvme. I could have put a sub par ssd in and it still would of been faster than an Xbox, and I could have saved $100. But I have multi thousand builds myself, and working on a slow potato annoys me. So I chose to splurge for convenience so updating it for her and installing things doesn’t take all day.

You know Game Pass is on PC too, right?

Regardless of your loophole you have to rely on mates to get, you still spend money PC gamers don’t have to for online play.

Ryzen 5 4500 (this one is a bit behind the series x but still performs extraordinarily well plus I over clocked it. She will be getting dads 5800x in a year or 2), she originally had a rtx580 but I returned it after I found a 3060 for $250 tax in. Had a dead fan, was a no brainer. 32gb ram, and a 750w psu. Things a tiny tank.

Just for price break down

Mb $80 Cpu $102 Gpu $250 + $10 for a new fan Case $50 Ram $60 Nvme $130 Psu $110 (again a splurge, she will be inheriting pieces from me and dad so wanted one that would last and have enough power for upgrades)

Total = $792

Excuse the awful mobile formatting.
