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

Which one run better?

No, describing it as "dead" is far too dramatic. You can still move your PSU, your GPU, your hard drives, your chassis, etc from an AM4 to an AM5 upgrade.

The problem here is you don't know what a dead upgrade path is.

It's a term for mainboards/motherboards. It means a no-longer supported motherboard that is no longer receiving BIOS updates to support new hardware.

AM4 is a dead upgrade path. Because it is. AM5 is out to support DDR5 and the new processors. AM4 cannot take DDR5 or Ryzen 7XXX or 9XXX.

It's a dead upgrade path.

No. I'm fully aware what it means. It gives an overly dramatic and skewed impression of upgrading a PC to someone who actually isn't familiar with the term.

We're explaining how viable it is to upgrade a PC from AM4 to AM5 to someone who presumably doesn't know a lot about PCs. Then it becomes misleading to say that it's a "dead" upgrade path to buy AM4 - because the parts you're talking about are far from the entire PC. More likely, they represent something like a quarter of the cost.

Sure thing bud, whenever you're wrong you're still right. We get it.

It's not a matter of "being right" it's a matter of communicating something to people who don't necessarily know a lot about PCs with the necessary nuance. It's completely viable to buy an AM4 PC for gaming today and will remain so for years to come.

[RotGoblin]

Sure thing.

Anyway. If anyone else wants to discuss viable hardware builds, or wants an opinion on purchasing a prebuilt PC from a company, feel free to tag me.

we dont know how MH: 10fps will run on 5 Pro, it will surely have better upscaling method compared to the regular 5 but from what i heard the cpu will be the same.
for me i'd put some more money and get a pc, gaming is much more than this broken game.

For those who want to see what the biggest PC tech channel on Youtube thinks about buying AM5, watch the video: "Buying a Brand New PC is Dumb..." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cq3hCt4jJQ4

The recent ps5 , pro and Xbox series X have a cpu based on the Ryzen 7 3000 series . If they can run the game on those there is no reason to run bad on pc. Either way i think a Cpu from the last 4 years on should be a must doesn't matter if Amd or Intel , All boils down on price and the game being optimized properly. They need to rewrite the requirements especially about the use of Frame Gen.

Then watch the video and explain to me why it's for entertainment only.

Why so negative about Linus , getting different points of view is always good. Between Him , Steve from GN and others is always good to listen.

The isues with linuses videos and their reliability and diligence is very well documented.
Theres nothing wrong with enjoying his videos, but i definitely would not depend on his judgements on most things.

Well Linus is a self confessed Intel/Nvidia fanboy, he's never provided a balanced or unbiased viewpoint towards AMD or Radeon products.

You head to Gamers Nexus, Leo at KitGuru or Hardware Unboxed for unbiased critical reviews these days.

Exactly this, it's infotainment with a much heavier lean towards entertainment than information.

You watch it for the luls, and go elsewhere for the deets.

There's definitely more, like Buildzoid, but I tried to keep the suggestions "newcomer friendly" without going too deep on the technical side.
