Right. You’re not building a PS5 Pro level PC with keyboard and mouse for under $699. Maybe next year.

Here is a list of parts that will outperform the PS5 pro for 100 bucks less, that 100 bucks is enough to buy a great quality keyboard and mouse, or a PS5 controller if you prefer playing with a controller

Will the 3060 actually outperform a PS5 Pro though? Spec wise its GPU is closer to a RX 6800, which is roughly 30% faster than a 3060 and also a little bit more expensive. And, especially in CPU limited titles, a Ryzen 7 would also be closer to the PS5 (Pro). Add a TB more storage (to be equivalent in this regard as well) and you're having a much harder time of matching the price (with new parts at least).

Until people actually get their hands on a PS5 pro and publish comparative benchmarks, though, this will stay speculation only. And that's not to say, that this PC isn't a good value gaming rig, just that it might not be enough to compete with a brand new console that probably has razor thin margins, if it's not even sold at a loss in the beginning.

~~The list I sent actually already includes a 1TB SSD, so it is equivalent to the PS5 pro in that regard~~

[–] accideath@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

According to every source I've seen, the PS5 Pro will come with 2TB as standard, not 1TB.

Yes, you are right
