Should I trade my ps4 plus games for this rig?

[perithimus]

have a chance to trade my ps4 for this pc. I'm thinking about doing it, but wanted to see what you guys thought. Here are the specs.
i5 4690
Z87 gigabyte ds3h
geforce gtx660ti
1tb WD hard drive
8gb ram corsair vengeance
Antec 550w psu

I was thinking about throwing a 970? Maybe an r9 390 or 290x

i dont own a ps4, but i would like to. in my opinion, console and pc are two different gaming experiences.

do you feel that the ps4 doesnt excite you anymore? if so, trade it in.

otherwise keep it and enjoy the unique games that come with it.

as for money value, i don't know.

I'd guesstimate that PC at approximately $500 in value, account for a bit of depreciation on used parts, plus the value of a Windows installation. It isn't exactly how I'd have built it, and you'll need to sell the 660ti.

Depending on how many games you have, you might be better off putting it up on eBay/Criagslist or the classifieds here, and then building from scratch. Doesn't seem like a terrible deal though.

yes, take it

I think it would be a fair trade assuming both parties are getting what they want.

Do you actually want a computer? If you just want a gaming machine, keep what you have. You won't have to worry about games not running correctly (requiring more graphics ability, power, etc) and you won't be losing a blu-ray player.

If you want an all purpose machine, that can also hook to a TV if you want it to, and be upgraded for future games (vs buying a whole new system), do the trade.

If you want a gaming PC, I would do the trade, then sell off the videocard and upgrade to a 970/290/290X/390. If you hardly use the PS4 now, you can always pick up the PS4 Slim later on should games/exclusives you want to play on it come out and interest you in the PS4 again.

if you want to game on PC, go for it, with a GPU upgrade you will get much much better visuals then PS4

You would be getting alot better deal then the guy I traded a older gaming pc to for his ps3 lol. Swapped a i3, 4gb memory and 6870 for his ps4. I got the better end of the deal but he wanted to trade and I wasn't offering boot.

I ended up finding a guy who traded me a corsair 250d case, 1tb hdd, gigabyte z97n gaming 5 mobo, 8gb adata ram, And an evga GTX 980 FTW for my ps4. I temporarily put a G3258 in it. I am hoping to get an i5 in a few weeks.

That's a great deal!
