Why bother building a PC right now? Will GPUs cheaper or am I missing something other than paying double for the ability to upgrade down the line.

You can browse Yas Forums, use windows 10 and such on a pc.
Also all the games ever made

KEK. A 1k computer is going to fucking blow away these consoles
Aside from that though, consoles are about mid range computers on release for $150-$250 less because they're an economy that Xbox/Sony knows you have to invest in once you buy. The price difference is already nullified after the first year of paying for their online service, and these things last 7 years.

I mean, if you want to continue paying to play games online, forced to use a controller instead of being given the choice to use it over a keyboard and mouse and generally get less games, go ahead.

There's no point right now. You should wait at least a year for prices to become sane again.

ps5 isnt even released yet. you are buying a 1k computer that is faster as a console released next year.

If you buy more than 5 games a year, get a PC. Games being cheaper is not a meme.

You'll most likely be guaranteed 60 FPS at all times outside of poorly optimized games. Unlike consoles which are stuck with 30 fps most times.
Also in general games are cheaper with sales so the cost is lesser overlal.
Plus a PC is a computer so it can do a fuckload more than a console.
However now is not the time to build a PC - wait until about 18 months after the new xbox/ps is released to get an idea of what gpu you should get

They're also free on PC :v)
