By "Russian prices", do you mean The Pirate Bay?

Somewhat related question since I'm getting myself a desktop this fall (sick of X220 + docking station): are there any current or upcoming RPGs or strategy games that a gtx 750 ti won't be able to run at 1440p/30fps? No AA, and settings can be fairly low. I can only think of Witcher 3 and Fallout 4 (plus maybe Legend of Grimrock 2?), and I'm not at all interested in those two.

I'm going to say wait a year or half a year and look at your options again. By then you will see if any of you games you are going to buy will have a bunch of DLC or not. Then you can get the GOTY editions of what you want.

Just hold onto the money. Buying a console this early is a waste of cash, as I can list all the worthwhile (announced) exclusives with one hand. In 3 to 4 years when the games pile up then maybe. Perhaps a PC game will come out in that allotted time that outclasses your current specs.

Get a console if there is enough games you'd like to play on it and PC games you want to play run on your hardware.

Ok so I will hold on to my money and buy a new PC when Witcher 3 comes out. Seems to be the best option.

Console exclusives are always shit so why bother with one? Also you don't need a Gigabyte Sniper mobo, just grab a lower end model for like $100.

I actually gave serious consideration to buying a console yesterday because I can't play Dark Souls with the crap KB/mouse interface. :(

The Last of Us is supposedly the best piece of art created in the past 20 years.

1. Use keyboard only.
2. If that fails simply buy controller for PC, or look at pages where they explain how to connect dual shock 3 to PC.
3. git gut.

They have mods that you can install so you can use a kb/mouse at Nexus mods.

Well, for the 3rd time I buckled down and decided to make this work.

This video was very helpful:

It took me about 40 minutes of googling/thinking to realize I had a joystick in the other room at full throttle, and this was why my character was constantly running :roll:

So, after the 6 hour nightmare of trial and error, debugging, version incompatibility, and everything else...I am finally playing Dark Souls, and it's already looking like a very good game.

If PS4 - wait for redesign(so wobbling is gone) and price cut, also games. If PC - wait for new games too see how much money you have to put into it to run them on high at 120fps, ofc. get 120 hz monitor on top of that.
Either way, wait.
