How Much Would It Cost To Build A PC As Powerful As The PS5? (2023 Edition)

[@Mitch617-g2g]

You lost me at 4060ti, the FP32 performance of a 4060ti is 114% greater than the PS5's GPU. The 5700xt on the other hand only has a 5% difference in comparison to the PS5 and would be a better match since the 4060ti way outperforms the PS5 GPU.

[@630majic]

Raw performance wise I completely agree. The thing about PC vs console configurations is the optimization. Devs. only have to optimize for one set of hardware with console, but on PC there are so many different configurations. Higher performance hardware can be seen as an offset to the difference in optimization.

[@Mitch617-g2g]

@@630majic I completely agree with you, but that raw power being far more than that of a console, it allows for higher settings, fps, and resolutions. It's just a poor comparison in my opinion. The optimization across the board has been lacking too, regardless of it being on PC or console

I think you guys don't know what optimization means. There is no "PC specific" optimization that needs to be done. PCs have a bigger footprint running in the background. It's called your operating system. There's also things like the hard drive. If your HDD is causing a bottle neck, upgrading to an NVMe drive will fix that. No amount of optimizations will fix that. I just got a 2TB NVMe for $150. A 500GB was $500, just 5 years ago. You have to understand that PCs primary focus isn't gaming, so you have to consider the overhead, (or disregard it, depending on how you look at it.)... Ultimately, you could just Optimize your spending budget. Built my PC in 2017 and it still outperforms PS5.

Will they ever match a custom-built PC in performance and power? No, but I'm ok with that.

You think Sony pay store prices for their components? They buy millions of these components, so they make deals with the providers (like AMD).. Not only that, but lifetime deals of say 8 years and tens of millions of components. Perhaps AMD lose money of the first 10 million, and only make a little on the next 10 million, but then they profit huge on the last tens of millions. PC people simply don't understand the console market.. They think of it as a "different PC market", but it's not, everything is quite different. From the OS, to the machine purpose, to suppliers, to game development etc etc etc..

[@Xanatos0504]

@@johnwayne-kd1pn while they do get them cheaper, they still don't get top of the line. 4K on a PS5 is not true 4K resolution. It is upscaled. Which means even if they were to get a discount from AMD, it would still be expensive as hell to get a true 4k60 machine.

[@johnwayne-kd1pn]

@@Xanatos0504 Sure. What I mean to say was only that most likely Sony pays a "lifetime" price for components, tens of millions of them. Not even regular production cost. At least that's how it seems to me, and I'm guessing Xbox does the same, seeing how it is also priced below market. Besides that, both initially, despite even that, sell their consoles at a loss. Yeah, I don't think we get 4K and 60fps until next generation, also on PC, around that time. Anyways, by that time, Raytracing will have progressed ALOT too and become a viable technology.. Today it is just in its infancy, or just past it, somewhere. Seeing how expensive it is (GPU/resource wise), perhaps even the next generation will be a compromise and a choice somehow. No doubt some will use it as an excuse to continue using the awful 30fps. But well, perhaps I'm wrong.. But global raytracing should be possible by then, and so should say 120fps 4k.. I really hope 30fps will just die then, but I'm not too hopeful.

[@alainlipowicz9393]

Because of the mass market adaptation of consoles and franchises that are exclusive to a given console (at least initially), many games are optimized to extract maximum performance from the respective console. This is similar in concept to an Apple computer having inferior components to a PC on paper but yet out-performing that PC in reality : there is a very tight coupling between software and hardware that much like Apple, consoles also enjoy. This basically means it is very hard to compare "apples to apples" between PC and a given console just like it is hard to compare an Apple computer with a PC if you only look at the specs. Best way to compare I'd argue is to look at performance comparisons : analyze the resolution, frame rates, and approximate the graphical settings of games available on both PC and a given console and then figure out what it takes in terms of a PC that can achieve similar performance to the console with that given game.

[@GoodwillWright]

Warranty is also much easier to obtain on a PS5. In Australia, you can get an in-store replacement. So no need to wait for a technician or yourself to check which component is at fault, you just have the whole unit replaced. Thankfully though, I've been lucky and have never once got a faulty PC component despite the fact I not only build multiple PCs for myself, but also for others as well. But that could be due to Australia's strict consumer standards. Only problem I find with consoles, especially Sony is when they try launching them at $800+ AUD. Not only that, but they have a really bad launch lineup of games. It definitely makes it hard for consoles to be a year 1 or year 2 buy. $600 AUD is more reasonable as a consumer-friendly, high end console but even that will still limit buyers greatly unless you have a strong game lineup. Xbox and Switch have much more convincing pricing model.

Computer parts have longer lifespans than entire consoles. You also don't have to completely rebuild your PC to stay up to date, just a part here and there. The initial cost may be a little bit above consoles, but you save in the long run. After a few years you're replacing your entire console while a pc only needs to replace 1 or 2 parts, making it way cheaper to move to "next gen". Not to mention that people often forget about CONTROLLERS when it comes to console when you're considering the price. Controllers are about $80 a pop now and most people want at least 2 of them. So your $500 Ps5 is actually $660. Not to mention those controllers become obsolete with the next gen. Considering this along with everything else makes it obvious what wins in the long run. The only game you listed for one platform in mind was TLOU because it was originally only for one platform. Everything else was released across all. Elden Ring doesn't have PC issues and you cherry picked 2 other poor use cases. If you want to do that, look at Diablo 4 for consoles and all the stability and disconnect issues people have.

now do a “can a PS5 be as powerful as a PC?” video 😂😂

[@emansfvera]

Now can a gaming pc be as powerful as a quantum pc? 😂

[@Olkv3D]

now do a "Can a Ps5 be as powerful as a Kodiak Bear?"

[@Cosmicmorales]

@@emansfvera they probably will in the near future tbh

[@DKarkarov]

Actually thanks to how much optimization matters the PS5 can equal the performance in gaming of PCs that on paper destroy it and cost 4x+ times more money. Look at star wars jedi survivor for example.

[@TheWitch297]

@@DKarkarov in your dreams lol. jedi survivor ran at 640p on performance mode, and 1440p upscaled to 4k on quality mode targeting 30fps, and still couldnt maintain 30 lmao. 4x equals $2000. that would get you a 4070ti and a zen4 7800x3D which is the best cpu money can buy. a ps5 would be nowhere in that ballpark unless you can show me a video of it doing native 4k at 60fps in this game, without upscaling at that 😂

[@Plagueof7deaths]

One thing you forgot about, especially when you quoted the price of the PS5, the optical drive aspect. In your current configuration you would have to quote the price of the digital PS5, not the disk. So for comparison reasons the cost would be $399 vs $770. Finding a 4K Blu-ray drive for the PC would be $100 or more. Also why are you showing Gears of War for a PS comparison?

[@simmensg]

Why would you go for a 700w psu? With those components a 350-400w psu is completely fine.

[@ArsevensX]

I think we're forgetting a decent mouse and keyboard in order to play those games well... at least in the general point of view, which could add the cost around $80-200 depends on their personal preferences.

[@bricaaron3978]

You can pay a lot less than that. But you must also remember that the mouse and KB will last through multiple systems, unlike console controllers.

[@RivalGrimReaper]

I would much rather pay 1000's and have a machine capable of running games at full spec in 4k at 150+fps than settle for a console that now struggles to play most modern games at 30fps. I own a ps5, but purely for exclusives, and playing FFXVI at 30fps was simply painful!

[@1ajgtwm]

According to the steam charts that shows exactly what pc gamers are using, yeah you're an outlier lol

[@timothypattonjr.4270]

Thats why you do not buy a console for exclusives. Wait for them to be released on PC where you can run them at a reasonable frame rate.

[@1ajgtwm]

@timothypattonjr.4270 I'm sorry but if someone wants to play a game day 1 and don't want to wait. That's exactly why you get every platform, I love gaming on PC but damn the waiting game has been crazy in recent years lol

[@timothypattonjr.4270]

@@1ajgtwm I just will not play a game that is at 30 FPS. It feels bad. I want great visuals but I would rather have slightly dated visuals and a bare minimum of 60 fps than to suffer with 30 FPS. I personally spend more money on my computer than my car so I can have a premium experience. If people refused to buy games that don't run at an acceptable frame rate they would stop making games run that slow.

[@1ajgtwm]

@timothypattonjr.4270 again you can play the wait game while others will play day 1. Who cares enjoy gaming but pc gaming has became the wait for scraps platform lol Then we are not guaranteed the best ports anymore at launch. The point of waiting for specs is a waste of time now.

[@ONEWAYLEEWAY]

Wtf was even the point in this video? You didn't even build anything, the price much higher than a PS5, you forgot to include the keyboard and windows and there was no picture of the build at the end.

[@emadstarns291]

The way I would do it is PS5 power as a PC why would I want the PS5 power not the PC 4090 graphics card power the only problem just is you can fit the 4090 graphics card into the PS5

[@Olkv3D]

"Can the Ps5 make a pizza better than Pizza Hut?"

[@Molaninn]

Most people who do these comparisons feel the ps5 can only be used to game and is useless otherwise so they think of getting a pc but then they look at pc prices and become conflicted looking for how much they would gain by getting a pc. Atleast IMO.

[@Olkv3D]

[@TheBlayner]

So the series x is the last Xbox I’ll ever buy. Gonna get a pc next. Any suggestions? 4k 60 is what I’m shooting for.

[@DKarkarov]

Yeah, none of the components this guy recommended is a good starting point. Other than the nvme SSD anyway, everything else he says to get is a bad purchase and will not perform well at 4k. At least not on modern games like the new horizon or cyberpunks upcoming dlc.

[@TheBlayner]

@@DKarkarov what can 3,000 get me?

[@DKarkarov]

@@TheBlayner well for 1700 or so on amazon right now you can get a amd 5800x 3d, 32 gb of gskill ddr4 4000 speed ram, a msi mpg x570 edge motherboard, a nvidia rtx 4070, a corsair 1000 watt fully modular gold certified psu, a lian li lancool 2 mesh case, a samsung 980 pro 2tb nvme m.2 drive, and an artic cooling liquid freezer 2 240mm aio for the cpu. That will beat a ps5, you get to save 1300 dollars, and you meet the system recommended spec for cyperpunk phantom liberty ultra 4k 60 fps with ray tracing off. Of course some of that relies on prime day deals and USA prices. Also I didn't add a copy of windows, but that can be gotten cheap on some sites. Yes, legally.

[@DazednConfused0]

cool video, and well done. I also think that going the pc route has advantages in the longer term. The ability to continually upgrade a pc alllows you to get maximum use/value out of your components not to mention residual value of functional replaced components. I think console is the "easy way to go" and understand the thinking but I think that the price/performance on pc's and pc components has been improving for years and it doesn't look that will change in the foreseeable future.

[@gilco2832]

but wouldnt be the money you spend on the upgrades eventualy be as expensive as buying the by then new ps?

[@DazednConfused0]

not really, for example i have a i7 3gen I am still using because I have added some ram I got for free and made at least 3 upgrades to the GPU since I bought it in 2012 I have no interest in going higher than 1080 and am able to use all software and games I need. So in the last 11 years spent less than 200 on upgrades and it is still going strong, at least for what I need it for @@gilco2832

[@mrgalaxy396]

Consoles are meant to be easy. I can buy a game and know it will work on my console just fine. On PC it's a bit of a gamble how well it will run. I know how to work with PC hardware, I just don't want the hastle. I just want to sit down after work and jump into the game I want. I've never cared about optimal performance and insane graphics. That's who consoles are for.

[@stef2499]

Pc is the only logical choice for me. I need a fast pc for non gaming as well. Having the ability to game in free time is just the added bonus.

[@OberWanKenobii]

@@mrgalaxy396 Whatever helps ya sleep at night kid

[@vandyniyomkham5032]

the ps5 GPU is actually an earlier version of the RX 6700, which is close to the RTX 2070 super, RTX 3060, and a bit less than the RTX 4060 non Ti or super version. Can you make a PC for less than PS5 value? sure; with second hand parts, i'm talking Xeon CPU with used graphics card; my recommendation anyways. Otherwise wait for maybe black well and rx 8000-9000 chips, but knowing the GPU market you might not see much improvement for the money.

[@adamjabs]

Did anyone else notice that you went with an ATX motherboard, but a Micro-ATX case? That motherboard won't fit in that case......

[@Fearless13468]

I think the hardware choices are less than optimal. If I truly wanted to compete with the PS5, I would be building a budget build. 2nd hand parts.

[@joelman1989]

That would make this video pointless as used availability and prices can vary significantly. Plus, you’re not buying used hardware when purchasing a new console. So that alone is enough justification to rule out used parts for a video like this.

[@kamm3021]

I will go for 6700 XT every single time Better performance and 12GB is waaaay better than 8GB

[@johnwayne-kd1pn]

Except PS5 GPU doesn't have 8GB, it has 15GB, because the machine doesn't really need RAM for anything else than the games on it. Think of it as a unified memory. PS5 is a games ONLY "pc", not general purpose.

[@zamiulmehrab]

Got a second hand gaming setup of total 420 usd during 2019.. still the latest games run well,providing me an avg of 60fps on big titles..

[@reisshep]

@lonewolf_09 Exactly that. You buy the latest and greatest at first, and while it's a big upfront cost it becames cheaper down the line. But nowhere near as cheap as spending $500 and playing for 6-7 years straight.

[@leanlifter1]

​​@@reisshepThe PS5 will be stuck on 30fps with stutters and the PC can just be upgraded to the PS5 pro specs and beyond and continue to game at 60+fps always. Now with the PS5 it's just an ewaste plastic box.

[@reisshep]

@@leanlifter1 Your old PC components are also e-waste? And you change them more often? I have 3 GPUs under my bed just being e-waste because they're not up to par, and they're bought like a year or two apart each (780 Ti, 980 Ti, 1080 Ti). There was no way neither of those would last me through the entire generation with the exception of 1080 Ti, but it's not an RT capable card so I have no use for it. The point is that I paid well over $2k for my PC (tower only, without any monitors or peripherals) only to have it be outdated quickly. I played Hogwarts Legacy at 30fps on 1080p with DLSS turned on. I couldn't reach 60fps.

[@leanlifter1]

@@reisshep They can be reused. The consoles are just plastic ewaste products for people to lazy to take the time to learn how to properly configure a computer for the best quality and performance that consoles can never achieve because they are controlled obsolete and locked down proprietary ewaste from launch day. Heck you can even use K/M on consoles lol.

[@reisshep]

@@leanlifter1 By that logic I can also use my PS5 to play older disk based games when it becomes obsolete. Not everyone can afford a PC and not everyone wants to have a dedicated space in their home for a gaming PC.

Ps5 matches the power of my 3070 but with more ram. It's stronger than a 4060 and has more ram, which makes this comparison unfair

[@LudusAurea]

[@Benri05]

​@@LudusAurea the ps5's gpu keeps getting stronger and stronger to these people everytime a new nvidia gpu comes out lol, back then it was a 2070super, then the 3000 came theb suddenly it matches the 3070, now that the 4000 series is here I've seen people saying it matches a 4060ti lol.

[@sonthonaxvernard5917]

Not sure why you didn't use an AMD gpu since both Xbox and Ps5 uses AMD. An AMD 6700 makes more sense than an Nvidia.

[@HullRupture]

No doubt consoles still represent better bang for your buck. But I'm still tempted to finally invest in a proper gaming rig again despite owning both ps5 and series x. It's just difficult for me to gauge at what price point do I need to hit to notice a significantly better gaming experience vs console. If I'm spending a few hundred more simply to match a ps5 experience that's using midrange parts, then surely I need to invest in a high end rig. For example so I can play starfield at 60fps at high/ultra high settings. I basically need something like a 4070ti minimum or 4080 don't I? That's easily a £1500 plus rig there. Probably worth doing for anyone who can splash that but that seems to be the reality if you want to game at noticeably better settings compared to console?

[@SubParBros]

Yea….that’s the nature of the expensive pc beast. If you want to notice a difference graphically, then I’d say you’d need to spend at least 1500.00 4080 would do it, since it can handle raytracing well in some games at 1440p with high settings.

[@Bunta1987qwerty]

A pc similar to the ps5 would cost about $600, but getting an rx 7800xt or geforce equivalent (give and take) would be a big improvement, and for high fps, a 5800x3d would be a big step up for the cpu. The ps5 is like a ryzen 3700 and rx 6700, but with both underclocked, making it more like a ryzen 3600 and rx 6600xt. Upgrade those to a ryzen 5600x and an rx7800xt and you'll still be at $1000 or so. Really, the nice thing about the pc is you can use it for many other things, and when one part is outdated, you can upgrade just that one part and sell your old one. Or you can do what I do and just accumulate enough parts to build a spare pc lol. Buying the top end stuff is definitely super expensive, but maybe build something cheap for now, even if it's not as good as the ps5, and then see if you like it enough to invest more into it. Don't be afraid to put it together yourself. All the parts are made to go where they're supposed to without fail, built to long-established standards. The cpu only has one spot to go into, the gpu as well (use the top-most slot), same with an nvme, and power supply. Anyway, pc's are fun to tinker with, and easy to upgrade, so I recommend them. Lmk if you decide to do it and need a tutorial or some troubleshooting.
