You’ll need $1500 to get a PC that runs games similarly to the PS5

It’s a better experience overall, with mod communities, Steam sales, console commands, no paying for ps+, the list goes on, but it’s not as good of a deal as PS5

It’s definitely worth it if you’ll use the PC for other stuff, art, animation, music production, film editing etc.

I got a gaming laptop and kept my PS5, glad I made the decision

To get a great PC you need about $1.8-2K and I'm extremely OCD about optimization and troubleshooting so the time spent actually playing games on my PS5 would far exceed the time spent actually playing on PC

Linus Tech Tips built a PS5 equivalent PC with 500 dollars a few months ago...

It's possible, you just need a good deal on the GPU

Nah, 700 dollars is not enough to build a quality PC. If you want my advice, if you've got $1200+ to build a nice PC with a 30XX graphics card and a high quality CPU, its worth it. you're gonna miss ragnarok, spiderman 2, wolverine and thats about it (and those games arent coming out for years). If you wanna couch game you can put your PC in the living room and plug in a TV. Plus as you said you can get game pass, you can emulate everything up to PS2/gamecube perfectly and also switch and even PS3 if you are willing to put in the work.

but if you dont have the cash for a high end PC, from my experience you're going to be frustrated trying to play the new AAA games such as Elden Ring, Halo Infinite, Forza 5, you're not gonna be running them on Ultra settings, you'd get better performance on PS5 for the games that aren't xbox/pc exclusive. And if you're only dropping 700 dollars, you're gonna be stuck on medium settings for 2022 and onward games like IO007, Starfield and whatever else (and maybe even worse performance tbh). To be honest, 700 bucks on a gaming PC and you're already outdated. If you don't have 1200+ its gonna be frustrating.

now, if you don't care about ultra settings and running the most demanding games at 60fps or at 1440/4k, then disregard the second paragraph

Like I said in op I'd prolly put in extra 300-500 for the pc

But you think I can get a good pc in the 1000-1500 range with how the gpu market is rn
