Dear Fellas,
While I know that in the world of PC, buying a future proof gaming PC is a myth ! However the idea is to invest into technology & components which last good 5 years+. Minor upgrades along the way should run games in 2025 at Max setting (maybe i'm asking too much
)
Some Background -
I used to be a PC gamer till 2008, then life happened & I had to donate my gaming rig & move to console gaming. Since then I have been gaming on X-box, then PS4, & now PS4 Pro. However the love for PC gaming never went away & now I guess the time has come move back to PC gaming.
My current Gaming setup is Philips 4K LED with PS4, period. Details on the PC below -
*Note - I'm not in a hurry to buy, If you say wait for 3-6 months once XX is launched, I'm more that willing to wait & game on the PS till then.
Many thanks !!
