Lol, Upgrade every year... I don't think so.
When newer games come out that are more demanding you simply tone the graphics down if you want to achieve 60fps if you don't have the funds to upgrade and would still look better than a console. Did I mention games are cheaper on PC than a console??
Exactly, tone down graphics which means you aren't getting the most out of the game; so you will have to upgrade to get the most out of it. Toning it down will still probably be as good as a PS4, but with a PS4 at least you are always playing games to the best of their ability.

They aren't for me lol. On Steam BO2 still costs $60.. So does MW3.
Go to G2A and buy the games there, they're much cheaper. I never buy from the steam website.

Well that depends if someone wants to lose FPS for better graphics really. Getting the most out of the game for me doesn't concern graphics as long as I can get playable FPS, heck i was running GTA V at 1080p 60FPS with low to medium settings on a old GTX 660 and guess what... still looked better than next gen consoles.

Here's what I think, PC gaming is fun as ****. Games are super cheap there's tons of them and then modding. The only problem is that I feel to get the most out of a PC you should spend enough to run most or all games maxed out currently.
I'd personally never spend as little as 500-600 unless I didn't need an OS than maybe but personally I'd want to at least spend 800$+ so I can enjoy every benefit.

But then you are playing with/against other people playing the game on better FPS/graphics giving them an advantage. And what do you do if the next game you want to buy requires higher criteria than GTA 5? change your settings to low? You're right about PC being better of course. But I'd rather play on a console in which all users have the same level of FPS and graphics. For PC it's just a case of who has the best set up/more money.

Building a PC is totally worth it, but you should save up more and spend at least $1k
goodluck

You save well over 40% from my experience and knowledge building your own vs buying pre built machines.

Look at it this way, a PC isn't only for gaming. It can be used for school work and browsing the internet all in one. Your console will not allow you to type an essay while you listen to music and watch a video in a split window.
PC Gaming Perks:
- Significantly better graphics. (Consoles can not run 1080p 30fps at the moment. PC's can run at 4k resolution, or at 1440p at 144fps)
- Very cheap games and huge community. (thetechgame.org for the games, Steam for the community)
- Easy to build and maintain. (Don't need to send it to Microsoft to get fixed)
- Great future investment. (If you build a great gaming PC now for around $800-1200, you can expect it to last many many years from now)
- No need to buy a whole new PC for a "better experience" just upgrade your cpu/gpu
- Cross platform. (PS4 and PC players can play Rocket League together online)
Many more i am mostly missing
$800 probably sounds like alot of money, but it is built to last. No more $60 games ontop of your $400 system. No Xbox Live +$60 a year. You are not limited on the PC, you can do anything basically. No such thing as a console ban, only a VAC ban that bans you from a game.
