This flagship RTX 4090 Gaming PC just had its price slashed by $700

If you're hunting for a new gaming PC, this incredible ABS Eurus Aqua with GeForce RTX 4090 has had its price slashed by $700.

it's only 3.4k...But it will by PS5 games with similar quality.

Perhaps if you ran your eyes through a wire brush. With a 4090, 14900KS and 64GB of ram you're not getting 30fps average with lacking anisotropic filtering, little to no ray tracing, and default non-native resolution. Comparing a top of the line pre-built to budget is just asinine.

Cost vs what you get PS5 is a great buy. Obviously it won’t compare to a 3-4,000$ PC when you are only paying 399-499$ but it plays games fairly well, loads fast and offers physical games. There is pros and cons to both obviously

[anast]

I would justify my 4k machine that can only rent games too, because if I don't I would look like a sucker.

@anast

You already do more than enough to look like a sucker, no need to worry about it

Seriously, talking about “only renting games” in the current platform where it is without a doubt the easiest to actually do game preservation when publishers screw everyone in all other places….

This deal is awesome. I would pick this up immediately if I didn't already have a beast computer. It's 3 years old but still awesome. If yall are looking for an elite machine at a good price get this while you can.

[GoodGuy09]

It's able to cut that much because it's already crazy expensive lol.

[JackBNimble]

You could probably build the same pc for half the price... just saying

[jznrpg]

For 3400$ you can get a ps5 and a 40+ games at full price.

This PC will be more powerful and can do more things than the Playstation 8. Heck my 3 year old pc will be at least as strong as the ps 8 if not much more. I don't think PS 6 or 7 will be native 4k. Maybe the 8 will be native 2K 60fps, 4K 30fps if you're lucky. But it will be very difficult to do that and be widely affordable.

So if you got this pc you're set for the next 20 years if you're comparing to playstation.

[anast]

The PC you will get crap ports, only rent games, and fiddle with everything for hours just to get the game to work properly. It's seems like a lot money for something that has to have everything just right to work.

This is satire right? You can take a $10,000 computer from 10 years ago and it will be MAGNITUDES worse than building a mid-range ~$1000 rig today.

Bit of an exaggeration 😂 sure the PS8, probably won't hit 4K with high frame rates, graphical fidelity will be up massively (although we've from 1080 on the 4 to 4K on a lot of games, at 30 of course in several years so in 20 it should) It was playing today's games of course it would. Going off the past, a PS5 in 2020 is about as powerful as the best PC from 2014. PS8 will release in like 2040, so no a PC today won't be more powerful than it 20 years later, especially as tech increases are slowing.

@ Mr Logic

Take note that in my comment and in this thread we are comparing PC to Playstation, not PC to PC like you just did. Playstations are never " state of the art". They provide the best experience they can at a the most affordable price. And we're talking pre builts, not building. Also, the pc in this article is only 3400 in 2024. I personally have never seen a $10K gaming pc circa 2014.

[ChasterMies]

But I don’t need a PC to do more things when I can already do those things on my iPad. Save money. Game on PS5.

[JackBNimble]

And then the ps5 pro comes out and you run to buy regardless that there isn't a single game to justify the pro but you already own an ogps5.

Sony is deceiving suckers like jznrpg to upgrade their console for absolutely no real reason.
Btw , there are only a handful of current gen games on ps5 worth owning. It's delusional to compare a ps5 with 40 games when most of those games would be last gen , to a high end pc.

So be stuck in your little bubble but a console can't do anything near what a pc can do.

[anast]

PC has to rely on the console space for games. Why would anyone spend that much to play a handful of RTS and CRPGs?

[Mr Logic]

"there are only a handful of current gen games on ps5 worth owning"

And there are even less of them on PC

[andy85]

I don't consider myself a sucker for getting a new console. I just want to play my games 'better'. Are people suckers for spending thousands on a new PC to play the same games.

[ChasterMies]

For $3400 you can buy a PS5, fly to Japan, and visit Sony headquarters.
