I was downvoted in another thread when somebody claimed a barebones 550 USD build with a Ryzen 5600 and an RX 6600 would outperform the PS5 Pro. I find that hard to believe and claimed that in order to achieve that, the parts would be more expensive than the Pro model. We'll see.

I love how bad this is.
The Ps5pro is overpriced, and for 200$ cheaper, you could buy a PC that will outperform it.
How would you know that?
Anivia on the other hand was only saying that for the same money or less as a Playstation 5 Pro, you can get more performance by spending your dollars on a computer instead of a console. This is correct.
I'd like to argue that you can't get as much or more performance by spending the 700 dollars on a gaming PC. I'd be glad to be proven wrong when the first PS 5 Pro benchmarks are published, however.
What are you taking about? Your barebones configuration is a hundred dollars more than the standard PS5 years after its initial release. The PS 5 Pro (subject of your link) promises significantly more power than the original model and costs significantly more. You cannot compare that to your bare bones gaming PC. A gaming PC that promises way more bang than your 5600+6600 combo is significantly more expensive than the PS5 Pro.
Your hastily assembled list will maybe do 1080p60 in more recent games, severely limited by the GPU and its 8GB of VRAM. That was good when I got my 430 EUR Vega 56 back in 2017. Today? Not so great.
That's a 100 dollars more than a PS5 Digital, though.
Where I live, the cheapest 3060 is 260€ (including 19% tax). A 4090 is almost two grand. That's the equivalent of two of the upcoming PS5 Pros with a couple of games.
You're right, a 4090 costs 2-3 consoles.
Let's assume the 3060 costs 180 Dollars (no idea what those go for). Add 150 for a decent CPU, 40 for 16 GB of memory. Another 80 for a Mainboard for a total of 180+150+40+80=450 USD. You also need a case, a power supply and mass storage. Your math doesn't check out, even with the humble specs those Dollars will buy you.
I'm not trying to sell you a console here, far from it. I'm just saying if you want a rig that outperforms a console, it will be in the 4-digits. A mid range GPU alone will be 400-500 nowadays.
A gaming GPU has cost as much as a console for a while now.
And never will, he claimed.
They can explore the requirement, but they will get lost during their expedition.
Ooooohhh... Been using Ubuntu and Mint next to Windows for a couple years and always right-clicked to paste. So that's the secret sauce!
