Is PC gaming worth the money for a casual?
I personally have been really interested in building a beginner PC for gaming lately. Something in the 700 dollar range. So I created my build in PC part picker and researched benchmarks for the parts. Finally after being pretty much sense besides the money XD, I had a moment of doubt. I play video games not as much as most players. I mostly play on weekends due to sports and school(16 years old). I just could not decide wether or not it was worth it to sink all that money into another gaming machine. I had another hobby/sport(airsoft don't hate XD) to also sink my money into too. I like both equally but I heard from my friends, who are a bit biased to gaming, and they told me to build the PC without hesitation.
Anyways, I'm just wondering if a PC is worth it for a "casual" who already has an Xbox one.
PS the only reason I want a PC is for the better and more games.
Edit: Also my starting build will be about 700 bucks including the OS.

2 RepliesYes, it is worth it. Games are 30% to 80% cheaper, more often than not you can get new release games for less than $20. Over the lifetime of a console, the pc will cost much less than a console; and since YOU decide the parts that go into your pc you get to pick the price of your machine. You don't have to pay to play online; and the online services are better. You have an endless catalog of games to play; Steam alone has over 6000 games, not to mention Origin, Uplay, GOG, Battlenet, etc. which all have their own catalogs as well. The biggest reason you should build a pc is for the freedom it offers; since it's an open platform there is healthy competition between companies unlike what has been happening in the console market.
