    I look at PCs as having a larger upfront cost but it's much easier to play pirated games so you probably save money in the long run.

      I don’t know if that’s such a sure thing. You could buy a new PS5 and 20 full-price new games for about the same as one high end PC graphics card.

          Modding is a huge factor for some games, my cousin was telling me recently he was replaying Skyrim on PS4 and that "they have all the mods now" lol no they don't.

              Yeah I pretty much won't touch Skyrim without the Requiem overhaul, and SKSE will never be allowed on consoles that a huge number of mods rely on.

        I've always bought mid range components and they seem to hold up fine for the 5-10 years I use them, but I rarely play anything graphically intensive anyways.

        Huh? Idk if prices have gone back up but last I checked you can get an AMD 6700xt for like less than 400 dollars, which will easily run most games at 1440p. If you're playing at 1080p then a 6600 is gonna work just fine and those are like 200 bucks

          Yeah I deliberately picked the most expensive card Nvidia sells at the moment to make the point.
