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.

    Anyone who tells you that PC gaming is cheaper is full of shit. You're going to buy a TV anyway so you're talking about a 500 dollar Xbox One X or at minimum a 500 dollar PC that is bare-bones compared to some of the monsters other people have. Now, that being said it depends on what type of gamer you are; multiplayer or single player. If you don't plan to compete with others in multiplayer (I'm talking Player vs Player or PvP) and there's this must-have game you want that's only on PC then perhaps you buy one. But if you plan to compete with the guys who have 2500 dollar PCs and a thousand dollar monitor then good luck. Their monitor refresh rate, their processing power, their graphics card will all be better than yours and it does make a difference (their ping will probably be better too). With a console everyone has the same stuff. Most games run 30 or 60 frames per second and everyone has basically the same console (this generation an Xbox One X will be a bit better than the OG Xbox One, same with PS4 and PS4 Pro) and the playing field is even. If my budget was 700 dollars and I planned to play something besides The Sims there's no way I'd spend that money on a PC, especially at 16.

    Imo, no. If you don't play games a whole lot then I think buying another gaming platform would kind of be a waste. High end PCs are nice but I think budget PCs are kind of a waste. I played on a high end rig for years myself but I can't justify buying one atm.

      • Yes, 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.

          • If you're gonna spend on a pc, don't budget. You will regret it.
