To spare you the heartache and cringe, the PC as a gaming console will be discussed in a manner that does not warrant you to space out and ignore everything that is being said. If you have not heard of this phrase, you are a lucky one.
In an effort to stay out of the weeds that are computer gaming, I will just touch on highlights of getting into PC gaming. [/ohio_text]

- Does not require a new console every few years. Most PC parts will not require a replacement for many years unless they are not maintained as they should. (I just upgraded my PC for the first time in 7 years.
- 1,000+ games to choose from.
- Customizable.
- Useful for more than just gaming.

- Pre-built computers can range from around $500-$3000 easily.
- Custom built computers can get as low as $500 and as high as $5000.
- Custom builds can be customized, allowing you to choose exactly what goes into your build. This allows you to save money on parts that you can cheap-out on.
- Pre-builds are nice because you are not required to learn how to put them together, allowing for a plug-and-play design.

- Sadly, performance comes down to how much you want to spend on a computer.
- Running an Intel i3 with a GTX 960 will get you barely anywhere on many big games. Spending the extra money can mean that you don’t have to drop another $800 down the road just to get a few better parts.

While its performance and gameplay are similar to the Series X, the actual size of the Playstation is pretty large compared to X. Both consoles are roughly the same in price but contain gaming exclusives that either community could be jealous of. The most notable games on Playstation are Spiderman, God of War, and the Horizon series.[/ohio_text]
