Add 150 for a decent CPU, 40 for 16 GB of memory. Another 80 for a Mainboard for a total of 180+150+40+80=450 USD
You could have at least spent 2 minutes looking up prices instead of making stuff up. A Ryzen 5600 is $110 and a compatible motherboard $50. That CPU outperforms the PS5 and Xbox Series X by a big margin
I’m just saying if you want a rig that outperforms a console, it will be in the 4-digits.
No, you don’t. Here is a list that I quickly threw together. It has a much better CPU and GPU than current gen consoles, and 1TB of SSD storage, for “only” $550
Your initial comment here was pointing out that a component of a computer build is as expensive as an entire console. Valid point, though it does ignore that the component you had in mind is superior to what Sony’s put into their machine. It’s not really an apples to apples comparison. More like an apple from the grocery compared to picking a basket of apples from an orchard.
You seem to be pointing out that higher performance per dollar is possible with a high end computer. This is correct.
Anivia on the other hand was only saying that for the same money or less as a Playstation 5 Pro, you can get more performance by spending your dollars on a computer instead of a console. This is correct.
You two seem to be saying the same thing: Sony’s console is overpriced for what it is, and a better experience can be had going with a pc.
Only thing you have to consider is, that a B450 Motherboard isn’t out of the box compatible with a Ryzen 5, but an out of the box compatible Motherboard isn’t that much more expensive.
One reason I mentioned the steam decks FSR feature. Which is a really cool example of this to me. Of wise spread automatic modding making every game that can run on the system potentially better with no additional effort from the dev.

He just proved it above when he made a pc for 550$. He was using the Ps5 Pro as a standard.
This all boils down to; The Ps5pro is overpriced, and for 200$ cheaper, you could buy a PC that will outperform it.
Not to mention the PS5 doesn’t have any exclusives that would make an upgrade worth it.
(Also, huge steam deck fan boy. I’ve played all the “PS exclusives” on it, easily, for cheaper than a PS, and more ways to enjoy it)

Not relevant. Games for consoles are much more optimized because there are just a few configurations.
A PC with similar specs as a console will very likely have worse performance if you compare them.
You also have less ability to mod the games so you lose out on some of those features. For example doing is level FSR like the steam deck.
Absolutely, but pls keep in mind that most people do not mod their games

I just built a system: Ryzen 7, 16 GB Ram, NVME SSD, 6680 XT etc. $825 total
