The next gen consoles are going to cost €600. My €700 pc runs Bf3 on Ultra at 60fps.
Yeah but you're 700 buck PC will be redundant this time next year... if not earlier.
I used to be a PC adventurer like you, but keeping a PC game ready is just chasing the dragon. Can't think of anything else made anywhere ever that depreciates quicker and harder. Spend a dollar on a PC at breakfast and it's worth half that by dinner time.
I only buy Workstations now (for business and the net)... about every 6-7 years. Just bought the HP Z400 and it would eat Skyrim for breakfast NOW, but by this time next year will be eaten alive by the next big release.
PC's = money pit. After 20 years you'll realise it.... at least that's how long it took me.
