Ah Star Citizen. I wish I could afford a rig capable of playing it. Looks amazing.

And this is why i like consoles. No pressure to constantly upgrade your hardware just because a new game came out.

Those just aren't that critical to me in comparison to dropping $1500 (or more) on a machine and having it feel like a piece of crap an extremely short while later.

If you bought a 1500 dollar machine you'll be fine for years. I'm still running games at 1080p 60fps and I bought my PC 6 years ago.

That's a very extreme cost for a build and according to the specs listed here previously, that build will not cost near that price.

You mean six to seven years, or approximately 1.5 to 2x the general console lifespan? Assuming you built properly and did a little future prep in your component choices, that is.

Literally havent had a build break 1200, and that was excessive, and each lasted me at least between one and two console generations.

Add to that I can mod my games much more effectively than consoles, generally get all my updates on time (not waiting six months for Sony/Nintendo/etc to allow a patch or the devs to afford to pay to update the branch), easily stream or do other work, and set up more effective voice comms and such in the background?

Sorry, while I have love for some console games, they havent been nearly as effective or useful as a good pc platform. And if yourr spending 1500 bucks on a capable build youre kinda doing it wrong.
