PS5 Pro Equivalent Build? (sh.itjust.works)

I’ve been wanting to build a Pc for a while now and had been hoping to build one with better specs than the ps5. Now that we know what to expect from the PS5 pro as well as the price ($700) I’m curious what a similar or somewhat superior pc build would cost and what kind of parts I would want to look at? I know you can’t make something that’s going to perform exactly the same but I’m curious regardless. Honestly I’ll probably be going higher-end than that (~$1500 range) but it seems like a good starting point.

https://www.logicalincrements.com/ is a good starting point.

If you want to beat the PS5 Pro in terms of raw performance, you'll probably want to look at the "great" tier and higher. It's hard to say now since we don't have any real-world benchmarks to go by.

$700 seems like a lot for a PS5 Pro, but if it's really as powerful as they claim then it will still compare well to PCs under $1k.

That site has a weird lack of x3d cpus... Top 3 tiers should have 7800x3d, next 2 7600x3d / 5800x3d, next 3 5700x3d as alternatives.

Also it would serve them well to separate higher tiers to gaming / workstation and recommend parts based on that. Otherwise they end up recommending 7950x3d at the highest tier despite it not being the best at anything

Now that you mention it, yeah, I wonder if they haven't updated recently.

Isn't the 7950X3D the best at basically everything? I mean, disregarding value per dollar, it's still better than any of the other Ryzens for gaming, isn't it?

I think it trades blows with 7800x3d in gaming and is behind 7950x, 9950x, 13900k, 14900k in productivity.
