I’ve been wanting to build a Pc for a while now and had been hoping to build one with better specs than the ps5. Now that we know what to expect from the PS5 pro as well as the price ($700) I’m curious what a similar or somewhat superior pc build would cost and what kind of parts I would want to look at? I know you can’t make something that’s going to perform exactly the same but I’m curious regardless. Honestly I’ll probably be going higher-end than that (~$1500 range) but it seems like a good starting point.

    Maybe I should mention that I already have a keyboard, mouse, monitor, etc, so I’m just talking about the actual pc and pc only

      Good points! Keyboard, monitor, and mouse are so crazy cheap (for one that is at least fully functional) that they probably aren’t worth mentioning, at least in terms of extra cost. They’re also the most easily-replaceable parts on any rig! I bet most people would be able to get free/low-cost versions of these, no matter where they live. Many people could leave workstation-level models of these for people. No LEDs or extra features, but completely usable…
