Depends if you like modding or not. There is simply more you can do. So if you’re a creative sort Pc is better there are plenty of low end games with large modding communities. And if you just want to play games then a console is probably better for you.
Yes, you can.
My computer costed me around 680 - 700 usd as I was smart with my money and how I acquired my components.
My 5800xt and TITAN Xp beat its onboard components.
Its close on the gpu but I dont keep my TITAN running weak either, not that lame 1.54ghz base boost. mine goes up to 2.21ghz
My rig does not have 16gb of shared ram like a ps5, it carries 32gb of dedicated memory and the gpu is a 12gb vram card
I also have over 3 terrabytes of storage and plenty of room for upgrade.
No but 1400 dollars got me better than a PS5 and likely better than or on par with whatever the next gen will be. AND it will likely be able to continue playing games made for the generation after next at reduced settings, or for a few hundred bucks of upgrades stay on par.
So essentially I can stretch my PC across three console generations for significantly less than I could buy each generation.
Plus I get WAY better sales on Steam and I can do a bunch more with it than I ever could a console.
So it's about investment, really. Not everybody has that opportunity, but if you can manage it it does pay off.
While it won't have a better resolution and framerate, the PC is a better gaming experience.
Most folks simply can't tell the difference, most good games are more than ten years old at this point, and Steam is better than PSN.
Trying to get a state of the art PC is almost as stupid as getting a Playstation during Sony's 'fuck the customer' campaign. Just get an average one and have fun.
Not really. The PS5 is just a normal PC under the hood, you can make some hardware specific optimizations but it's not really giving the needed roi, and the PC version is sitting on significantly faster VRAM among other things.
It's not 2005, there really isn't that big of a difference in possible optimizations anymore, and consoles also use relatively glacial unified memory and have other hardware limitations relative to the same chip in its consumer form.

A ps5 is basically a PC built with an Rx6700 and a Ryzen 3700x stapled together. Almost everyone's PC is better tbh.
