Get both. Use the PS5 for new beefy releases (you won't need to fuck around with faggot settings to barely get the thing to play like you would on a PC) and get the PC to get (((free))) older games or to play certain games that are just way better to play on M/KB (tower defense games, RTS, simulator gay shit, etc,.)

Unfortunately it's not good time to buy PC parts. You might be able to salvage something decent with used parts which you can then upgrade as you need, or make some frankenstein build from salvaged gaming laptop motherboards. Don't buy a cuck console, unless you are really that desperate for modern no games.

You can still get cheap parts, you just have to look all over different places.In Sweden we have sites komponentkoll where you can sort individual parts according to price and ratings.

>>748282104
the ps5 pro is even worse than that, it has 16+2gb of shared ram, which is divided as follows
>4gb for the OS (some fanboy say it's 2, but it's not true)
>8-10gb + a separate 2gb module dedicated as system ram, it needs this much or else it would run unstable
>2-4gb dedicated as vram, it's no surprise this shit needs to upscale from ridiculously low resolutions in order to even run the games, it simply lacks the amount of vram needed
With your system there, you should either tie with the PS5 pro or, in most scenarios, have double its vram amount, and while your system in itself is bad compared to other PCs out there, it's still a better alternative than the PS5
oh and let's not forget that the cpu in your OP (ryzen 5500) mogs the the crap out of the ancient PS5's cpu (it's a gimped down ryzen 3700 that behaves more like a ryzen 1700)

I got a PS5 Pro new a month ago for 825 Euros. Playing Control Resonant on it right now and excited for Grand Theft Auto 6 and Path of Exile 2 1.0 version. Maybe I'll get Phantom Blade 0. I still need to see more of it. Kingdom Hearts PS5 versions are coming out soon as well as Dragon's Dogma 2 Dark Arisen. The Witcher 3 Remastered I'll play probably after Control Resonant. Valor Mortis looks interesting.

I would need to spend 2000 Euros at least to play all these game at PS5 Pro quality level.

Half of the L3 cache and only gen3 PCI-E compared to 5700X because 5700 is just 5700G without iGPU.

Nta but the price between the two are roughly the same. To cost of ram is due to the chip shortage, and that applies to both soldered and non-soldered.
>>
>>748289707
Yeah, but I'm looking at general side costs.
It was like $2450 after tax. I'll need to drop at least $170 for a new PSU, and the motherboard might need to be scrapped if it's ASRock or ASUS, and then I need an actual HDD. So I still need to put in like $750.

OP get the AMD one it's the much better price per dollar option.

Unless you want DLSS5, then go with Nvidia.
but really just go with the AMD GPU option, it's good.

Right now both hardware and modern games are a bit shit desu. so don't worry too much about not getting a good deal as you would have like 8 years ago. Get the full AMD build and enjoy modern gaming (at medium to low settings, or high settings at 30 FPS) without the RTX/DLSS5 scam and you'd get really good performance for the older titles as well. or get the Nvidia option if you really want those features that Nvidia heavily shills (Which honestly IMO they're just scams and aren't really worth it) such as better raytracing performance and that jeet'd DLSS5 tech.

And just in case anyone here is really new or new to PC at least, the PSU is the most important part of a PC. More important than the CPU, more important than the GPU. Literally the beating heart.

Sadly i am not. A PC from 15 years ago gets all the PC games from the 80s to 2010 and also gets all the console games emulated from the 80s to the 2000s.

A 9800X3D with a 5070Ti or a 9070XT is the best combo you can reasonably get unless you strike gold.
The 9850X3D is just a top-binned and factory-OC'd 9800X3D. If you care about ray-tracing, path-tracing, or AI shenanigans go with NVidia. If you care about none of those and only care about raw linear power, then the 9070XT is the best card on the market right now. The RTX 5080 exists as the thing the 9070 XT was an answer to.

Oh I agree. What I am saying is that the chance goes from 10-15% to 0.1-0.2% (numbers from my ass, I know, the point is that is MUCH less propense to )if you aren't using 500-750w of juice just in that cable.
