But replaced it with this -

Silverstone ft03 mini case
Intel i5 4690k
8gb crucial balistix memory
Msi 787i mini itx motherboard
Msi nvidia 760ti compact

Corsair h60 watercooler.... "in other words" Doubles as a water pistol in the back garden

128gb sandisk ssd
500gb sata hdd
450w silverstone sfx 80 plus power supply

Think I'm a Tad Jealous or what or is Timey having a wind up .

Is this something you been thinking about the last year or so or is it Jorkila and his lack of patience and the fact we are now deep in a summer gaming drought.

Remember how awesome you thought your Xbox One was when you got it,and how you defended it against a Playstation 4.

Never ever thought you would ditch your Xbox One,I'm a betting man and i say before end of November you will have purchased a second unit,and this time next year if not before selling your PC.

128gb ssd is home to the OS and main applications and that is it, no performance advantage other than loading times for games to be installed on there.

Yeah I would have picked a bigger hdd if I had built it myself to my own spec but still no real big deal.
The psu powers my 970 with no issues and it's not all about big watts but what the 12v rail is capable of.
As for water pistol, it manages to give me idle temps of mid twenties and very low 40's under prolonged heavy load.

Instead of throwing a heap load of cash at something do some research and find out what you really need to power your 4k machine (even though something that will run 1440p would suit you fine seeing as you've been happy with current gen)
which my mickey mouse rig is perfectly capable of btw

Was happy enough with the xbox to be fair but admittedly it was being used less and less since getting the PS4, only reason I bought it was because I have more real friends on that platform at the time.
Now it's the PS4's turn to gather dust It's not been turned on since owning this pc!!

Well mate same can be applied here except for the month i spent playing the awesome Bloodborne a game that you must play regardless.

It was way to tough for Nelly and he struggled to get past the opening menu screen which really isn't a big surprise when your used to playing Cooking Mama games on the DS and Simpson the Movie on his Playstation 4

When i started playing the much missed Gears 3 again on my recently purchased Xbox 360 slim i was so surprised that a game that came out in 2011 literally in terms of online action knocks most next generation games of today Socks of!!!

I find it extremely difficult to get excited and enjoy online games and there have been very few that hold my attention,Gears 3 has to be my all time favourite game online and for me Horde Mode is the most addictive game online i have ever played.

To compare Horde with Cod Zombies is crazy as Cod Zombies doesn't hold a candle to the original and best Online Gears Horde mode ever.

to be honest i feel your frustration and i don't blame you one Iota for buying into the PC gaming scene,like i said and i will say it again,if i hadn't got this expensive iMac in the office i may well have joined you.

A steam machine is about where I'm heading,and i don't mean Karcher before you start cracking the Jibes

yep indeed its about the 12v rail, for this reason I prefer single 12v rail psu's.

I agree the pc makes the xbox1 almost pointless if you have the finances and willpower to use a pc (I agree the pc has more complications to deal with when playing games).

Also if you have to upgrade any parts its not the end of the world, as pc's are flexible in that way. For reference I sold my gtx 760 that I brought last year for more then I paid for it. Ebay can be like that at times.

What idiot paid more for a card than you paid for in the first place,and thats second hand ?

I know I'm a tad stupid when it comes with a fool and his money are easily parted,but even I'm not that stupid .

Thats a bit like me selling this £349 Playstation 4 for £359.......It isn't going to happen.

For instance its second hand and you never get more for second hand unless its some relic or rare antique like Jorkila New PC .

And secondly they have already dropped in price and you can get a 1TB Playstation 4 middle of the month for less than i paid for the original .

Give you my fully boxed Atari Jaguar with 2 controllers and Tempest 2000 for your rig,As long as you give me the cash equivalent to make up the difference as I'm not been ripped of

Just out of interest what you get for the Xbox One.

To build the original system would've cost just over £700.
I gave the guy £280 and my xbox with one game so roughly £420.
I have all boxes and receipts for the build, it was literally only a month old!
