Both ran with a goal of 1080p 60fps (which neither next gen console does well at all..) and easily achieved this. I recommend watching all three videos to see exactly what they went through. I'm positive I could have done better myself in a big US city as well especially with access to a Fry's or Micro-Center.
So keep in mind they locally sourced parts. Didn't buy from retail AT ALL. Also important that they already had monitors , KB/M and a copy of Windows ready to go (frankly anyone doing this probably does) and they achieved amazingly playable results with a $300 (Canadian so you could probably do a tiny bit better with US prices however probably around $400+ with Euro) and either PC will happily work as a Steam OS box for the future and rock as a Windows gaming PC right now. And they did all of this inside of a 48 hour window.
Pretty hard to knock these results. They both proved that next gen consoles are totally overpriced and really you should only buy either for ease of use or exclusive titles.
I think this set of videos makes for conclusive proof that PC gaming is hands down the better experience and cheaper experience thanks to the slowed pace of hardware. Of course I don't need to tell you guys this as its already obvious but you should share this anytime someone says "PC gaming is too expensive!" and laugh in their faces.
