If I have only $700, should I buy a PS5 or build a PC to run Monhunt Wilds?

[Bigboss PC Faster]

Which one run better?

[d k'n n'd'noarf]

To be honest if you save up some more money you can build a better pc. With 700 buying new is gonna make you get only some parts unless you find good deals.
Ps5 pro is just what the Ps5 should have been like it happen with the Ps4 Pro. Consoles are good only for exclusives in my opinion so not really worth it unless you are a fan.

From what ive heard, PC.
But everything, in the end, depends on your time, as you'll need it for searching parts and assembling the PC.

Convenience or investment

Searching on eBay, rtx 4070s costs around 250-500 and processors of i9 13900costs around 150-500 as well.

These were the lowest I saw, so take it with a grain of salt

Whats your current PC?

If you're gonna go processor go am5 amd socket processor tbh

Just had a look on part picker, if you don't have any PC at all right now to scavenge or upgrade from, honestly a PS5 pro would probably be the better answer.

The cheapest reasonable PC I could recommend was $830 and that wouldn't put you much better off than the PS5 pro.

That;s why I am asking OP's specs. Cause he might be able to use parts and save money.

Right, these are just the specs that I got.

As for you OP, I'd suggest googling/searching sites for the parts first via the recommended requirements and then go from there.

PC. console means you're locked into mediocrity at best.

[bruh]

get a console, you almost never have to worry if you can run something.
and that's coming from a guy that does not own consoles.

pc are more for people who know how pc's work and what parts it has since it requires alot of maintenance and when something doesnt run well there are alot of variables that could be the cause.

And upgrading your PC

[Edelgris]

If you base this question on ONLY getting a system to run Wilds on, then probably a console is the better option. It's less effort, that's for sure.

It's not easy building a PC that can run modern games well for only $700 these days. But if you're good with PCs, you can probably buy used parts and build a very decent gaming PC for $700. Or even buy a used complete PC if you find a bargain.

If you're going low budget, you get far more for your money by buying older gen hardware that runs your games BETTER than what new parts in the same price range would. That goes for both buying used or off the shelf components.

IMO, neither, save up more moeny and get you a better PC down the road which yyou wont have to replace too soon, and wont be a console that locks you into some ecosystem

[Nudle]

If you buy console, you have to pay monthly-sub to play online.

You can't build a wilds capable PC for $700 right now.

Oh you can, I just wouldn't recommend purchasing it as it would be a dead upgrade path and it wouldn't really be any better than a PS5 pro.

That's pretty much my wifes PC, and it played the beta at locked 60fps at 1440p without dips.

Using FSR Quality and Frame Gen.
