PC is master race. I used to be a console gamer, I still am, but I spend the majority of my gaming time on PC.

Should you? Yes. Will that run BF4 at 1080p? Yes.

Personally, I switched for Christmas and I've loved it more than console so far. The only probably is that I don't have too many friends that really play here, and the ones that do play PC don't have too good of PCs, so it tends to get kind of boring. I'll make friends though, I'm not too worried about it. Maybe even some people from TTG?

You don't necessarily have to "Switch" to the PC life, you can always have both(like me).

Consoles are great and all but they Limit you. By that i mean, you dont get the chance to add in Custom made maps or skins or campaigns on "Consoles" w/o getting banned. Now this doesn't mean you can go willy nilly with Modding PC for your level and such and not pay the price. Modding on PC is a Privilege to an extant, you can add in custom maps to Cod Waw for example, but don't go ranking your account up to 10th or 11th. You catch my drift?

Also you dont really need a "High end" computer neither to run BF4(kinda) what i mean is you dont have to go all out of your way and buy the most expensive parts(not saying you did but just keep that in mind). That rig should dish out a pretty well enjoyable experience. You cant really tell the difference buy much if its a 720p or 1080p, as long as you can make out what your shooting at and have a good time doing so then its pretty good in my book.

Also i would recommend buying 2 harddrives and maybe 1 SSD drive, the 2 harddrives are a good idea b/c if you plan on getting a custom PC you are must likely going to get a bunch of games for it , i have a 600Gb harddrive and about 50 games, that may seem like a lot but it really isn't, i have about a little over 200Gb left. I take it that some of the games/ programs are more costly in memory storage then others but still my point stands. As for the SSD drive, it is a good idea to have a pretty fast RPM on it if your going to do Youtube videos, it can really speed up your saving time, also you can move your games to it for faster Loading screens but i wouldn't recommend it(if you want then go a head but remember that games take up a LOT of space FAST)You can also use it for editing and rendering but keep in mind that your have to have a decent CPU as well

All in all its pretty worth it if you ask me, i plan on upgrading soon as i may get some spare money to do so.

To be honest I don't think I could go full pc gaming, might sound silly but I hate fps on pc even though they are suppose to be played on pc (CS)I think I like consoles more is because it's more social some how.
I own a decent pc (i5 4670k/8gbram/gtx770) I hardly play any high demanding games, I bought BF4 to test my pc out so I could see how awesome it looked yeah I haven't played it since lol still level 1 and got it in December. So my conclusion is DO BOTH
