    Is that possible? Where I live the ps5 pro is $1k but a gaming computer with the same power will run you $3-4k you can’t really compete

      You severely misunderstand what that hardware is. There’s ready few videos on how to make a PC in that price. JayTwoCent is probably one of the better ones.

      Are you sure? A RX 6600 XT is about 200€.

      4000 buck would about twenty RX 6600 XT: with that amount of GPU you play… Blender’s render in realtime.

          Sorry, but I live in Canada as well and have built several computers myself. These numbers you’re citing are BS.

            I DON’T WANT TO BUILD A COMPUTER.

            No more than I want to build a ps5. We’re talking about a ready to go machine off the shelf.

            Nobody who isn’t a niche PC gamer wants to build a PC. It’s a pain in the ass and I don’t want to hear another comment saying it isn’t cause I don’t wanna hear it. I DON’T WANT TO BUILD A PC

              I don’t know how it works in your market but here, the major hardware retailers will assemble your machine for an extra 80 euros or so.
