Serioid question here.... I've been so attached to consoles growing up though it will be a bit of a big change.

Well, to build a computer that's equivalent to a current-gen console there will be an increased cost, but that can be recouped by cheaper (or free pirate-jammin ) games.

Eh, sort of. You could spend about $500 today on pc parts, build it yourself, and most games will run just as good if not better. Might require some deals/used parts, but its very doable.

there are some fairly good APU mini PCs for around that price these days aswell, no assembly required!
