a 7850 is almost $200 and a fx-4130 is another $100. That is most of your budget and you're missing case, MB, ram, PSU, keyboard, mouse, and OS.
forgot the hard drive.

Already done. Without any special effort I put together a complete pc with a 7850 2g, 8gb ram, fx-4130, and 3 free games on newegg. Under $400.
no trolling.
simply reply to the article - in regards to the developers' comment on IQ.
post #1 was the example.
paragraph 1 = link to article and topic being questioned
paragraph 2 = response to article/topic.
not rocket science. healthy discussion please.
That's not a complete PC, just an upgrade.

When was the last time you looked? There were a ton of 7850 near $150 and I didn't even bother with the 1gb model. The cpu could even be cut down a bit if you really wanted. Spend 10 minutes and try it yourself.
I literally highlighted 7850, right clicked, and picked 'google search: 7850' and the first result was a 7850 for $179.99. So, the new stipulation, is that I have to search through deal websites and use mail in rebates to get a PC for under $400 that is capable of gaming? I haven't even commented on the monitor yet (which more houses don't have, unlike a TV).
So, I have to search for deals on the right parts (ignoring if I know what goes together with what, which would be an awesome feature for Newegg to have for their cart btw), assemble my PC correctly, install my OS, install my games and then I can hope the default / automatic graphics settings aren't crap for my hardware or I have to tinker with that; all so I can have a $400 PC that can play games an PS4 can? Well, I think most people will go with a console instead. It takes a whole 2 cables to be plugged in and I'm off to the races!
PCs are just not as convenient as consoles in most aspects.

So I take it PC gamers and console gamers regularly fight here? LOL. Over what?
If one likes such and such, so be it. Me, if I may speak about myself, have been playing mostly PC games for the past 10 or so years. Before that, I was a big console gamer. However, I will buy the next gen consoles when they're released because I want to play sports games. I've come to realize that sports games are better played on consoles.
Everything has its pros and cons. Everything. So the consoles may have inferior graphics but if the game-play is great, then so what? Besides, the graphics variance is only minor.
Also, for some people, who are on their computers a lot, sitting down to play a console can be a change. That is one reason I'm planning on getting either the PS4 or Xbox One.
So, let everyone play as they please. Your preferred method of gaming might work for you but may not for everyone. If you accept that, it would be easier for everyone.
Yep. That's pretty much the gist.
But your original argument was, price wise, it couldn't be done. Quit changing your standpoint to suit your view.
Anyway, keep your convenience. The rest of us that have enough brain cells to put some legos together would rather not suck Sony or Microsoft's dick.
Well...Microsoft's hardware based dick, anyway.
Ugh, I apologize for replying to this like it was posted in the PC forum.
I'll take 720p60 with 64 players over 1080p60 with 32 players any day. Battlefield is meant for 64 players on Conquest.

Unfortunate, but next gen consoles need about 2x the graphics horsepower to generate a leap in graphics that most have come to expect from new consoles.
lol.
Obvious reality is reality. However, this title will look fantastic on the Xbox One. This title will look fantastic on the PS4, and yes, this title will look even MOAR fantastic on a (well specced) PC.
Who cares? People are going to have a blast regardless of where they play this.
I think those playing in a dedicated theater room might have a little more of a blast than others.
I remember when I first put BF3 in on my HT setup with the WarSounds soundtrack on. I had trauma afterwards...
I'll probably build another sub or two for this game if I can afford it.
Edit: Can someone confirm where they say BF4 will be 720p@60fps?
That's utterly ridiculous, this is 2013 and it's been 8 years and we're still stuck at 720p? I'm not buying this game for console if so. I really wanted it on Xbox One/PS4 to play with friends and not have to deal with getting wrecked by the PC crowd ('m using a controller), but I'm not going back to 720p ever again lol. I'm looking to upgrade to a 120 inch screen, not doing 720p on it.
I looked forward to XboxOne/PS4 for over a year JUST for 1080p. Man this sucks.
