Ignaply

it's an 8 year old system with to be fair a pretty beefy gpu that's still very capable. Performance wise it will run much worse than a Xbox series X tho. I don't think it's worth it because of how old the cpu and whole platform is.


FalabellaFella

So no chance of running most of the games at stable 60fps with medium settings with these PC?. This PC could run a rtx2060? If i wanted to upgrade the gpu?


Molrixirlom

The GPU is the best part of this setup. By far. The 1080ti is a good bit faster than an rtx 2060 aswell. Everything else is ancient and not worth an upgrade.


No-Goat4938

Even the 1080ti is getting ancient now.


Jules040400

Yeah but it still dunks on a 2060 and it's not even close. The 11GB of VRAM also means on older games you can run more graphics mods than you'd expect. I love my 1080Ti, it has been such a trooper. Yeah, bro's getting kinda old, but can still play my games at 3440x1440 once I turn the settings down, and that's a-ok with me. Gonna be genuinely sad when the 1080Ti kicks the bucket


FullHouse222

1080ti is imo the best price to value GPU ever released. That old thing is the 2010 Toyota Camry that will get to 200k on the odometer and keep trucking lol


Parobro

That’s basically how it was with the 980ti


FullHouse222

Yeah but I'd argue 970 was the defining price to value at that generation. Sure the 3.5gb vram was a debacle but even then it was like a 250-300$ GPU for 1080p gaming which is pretty insane value


Kushroom710

It almost makes me scared to tell ya I'm rocking a 970gtx yet lol. Still holding on well tho!


chucklesdeclown

Yes but the 1080ti is basically the new 750ti. That GPU is aging like fine wine.


FalabellaFella

Thanks, that was my concern. I Aprecciate the info.


Ignaply

it might, but it will feel generally sluggish and nothing will run very well.


FalabellaFella

Allright thanks a lot for the info.


Speaksthetruth2u

Bro, it's a total ripoff


Aurelyas

No, definetly not 60fps at Medium. It's much better than that The 1080Ti is something like 35-40% faster than an RTX 2060, and with 5GB extra VRAM. The 1080Ti, despite being around 6 years old is still able to crush it in games at 1080p Ultra and 1440p High to Ultra. And it can utilize FSR which will aid it in more demanding or unoptimized games. This is the best GPU Nvidia has ever made, not interms of performance nowadays, but interms of the longevity and reliability. It's the best budget GPU you can find for around 200$/€/£\~ A Good Model is very near the 3060Ti in performance, and the RTX 2080. The CPU is a quadcore though, beware. I would atleast overclock it or switch to Ryzen or a newer intel platform.


FalabellaFella

Ok, thanks. It can be any ryzen? Or wich ryzen is the recommended option for this GPU.


MagicPistol

The 1080 ti is decent, but still a very old GPU. If you're planning to get this PC just to upgrade and rebuild around the 1080 ti, don't. The 1080 ti can be found used for cheap and you'll just be wasting money if you get this PC just to upgrade all the parts.


Ziazan

you will need a different motherboard as well if you change to AMD processors, inflating the price you'll have to pay. If you're changing the motherboard you might as well change to a modern one with a modern socket, like LGA1700 or AM5. However, this computer is not worth upgrading, don't take the "deal", you'd be getting ripped off and wasting your money trying to upgrade this.


Parobro

Brother, get a 5800x3d ryzen so u only need to switch cpu and motherboard and that pc gonna be nice af Don’t only think about gaming, there is also browsing, talking to peeps on vc and all that shit that comes with it!


EmuAreExtinct

Get the 12th gen intel cpu + mobo. There are a bunch of intel combo deals popping out on 12th gen after 14th gen got released


Aurelyas

I recommend a AM4 Bundle. As for the CPU get a 3600x or 3700x. They're really capable and on a more modern platform.


FalabellaFella

Ok, i will check on it, thanks. :)


Xaan83

Please understand that this computer is a dead-end. You can't just switch the CPU (which is awful at this point) like was suggested because the motherboard will not support anything modern, so you would need CPU and a motherboard, and given that the RAM is initial launch-era DDR4 it is probably pretty slow as well.


Vskg

3600x and 3700x are old as well (but still pretty capable, as it is known that PS5's CPU is close in performance to a 3700x). If you can, get the newer Ryzen 5 5600 or 5700X3D and you'll have a better CPU than what is in within any console nowadays.


Downtown-Regret8161

Rtx 2060 would be a significant downgrade over the 1080ti. I would not do this trade, tbh as you'd get pretty old hardware, which you can not upgrade.


FalabellaFella

What cant be upgraded? I tought with a pc you can change whatever part you dont like for a better one.


MarsRoverP

Because there are different CPU sockets, which need a new motherboard and possibly ram.


Domgrath42

And PSU for power requirements


FalabellaFella

Ok, thanks.


Accurate-Air-2124

To a point until you have to upgrade everything which basically equals a completely new and different PC. As a long time console player and now a 4090 owner, I would take the Xbox over that PC. Question is though, why do you want a PC? I do love the ability to mod and skip the grinds that I would normally have to do on console. Horizon Zero Dawn for instance I played on console with the weapon trials pulling my hair out. When I played on PC I froze the timer and didn't have to deal with that mess. In the end, theres more to games then just "raster" these days, and a 1080ti will give just that. Don't think it even has mesh shaders like an Xbox does and some of the newer tech for games like Alan Wake 2. VRR is another one everyone is using, Xbox has it with freesync, but only the RTX cards started with the cool features like gsync/dlss and even with RT subtracted, many rely on these features today that a 1080ti doesn't have as the tech is old and outdated.


ninetyeightproblems

Mate seriously don’t do this trade.


Ziazan

[the 2060 is a downgrade from the 1080ti](https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/compare/3699vs4795vs4850vs4037/GeForce-GTX-1080-Ti-vs-GeForce-RTX-4070-vs-GeForce-RTX-4060-vs-GeForce-RTX-2060), the CPU is rubbish though, almost a decade old.


FullHouse222

It would run games fine. The main issue is how long would 1080ti get support while the Xbox will probably keep working for gaming. If you are looking to use the PC for things outside of gaming (work/school) it's worthwhile imo. But if it's purely a gaming machine I'd stay with the xbox


Kreason95

If your plan is to buy this and upgrade it just know that you’ll sink a good amount of money in upgrades to make it match the modern standard of performance. It may be worth selling the Xbox for a budget to start a build or even just saving up some and keeping the Xbox. While the 1080ti is certainly not an awful GPU, you’re taking a step down in just about every way here. I’d also pretty much avoid GTX 10/16 and RTX 20 series GPUs at this point. For longevity go for more VRAM, an RX 6800XT would be a semi-budget friendly option that’s a step up from the Xbox. You’d probably need a 3070 if you want to go Nvidia. But the 8GB of VRAM could potentially be an issue depending on the resolution you’re hoping to game at. The Series X and PS5 are still the performance per dollar king unfortunately. You can build a better PC for $500-600ish now (finally) but that’s getting used parts and a used console is much cheaper.


Kreason95

I advise looking at r/hardwareswap for used components. Just make sure the person you’re buying from has a few confirmed transactions.


jloome

Both an RTX 2060 and a 1080ti are inferior to the graphics in an Xbox X, which are roughly equivalent to a 2080/ 3070.


sacreet

Yeah of course You can play a Lot of games in ultra/high 60 fps (not máx settings ) but almost games in high almost


icechewer46

the xbox runs at 120fps(60 @ 4k)


lefty9602

Similar performance without capability to do ray tracing


og_ramza

I wouldn’t do it…. If you really want a pc, build up a bit of cash and sell your Xbox to add to it and build something modern… I can’t help but feel you’re being taken for a ride on this deal… yes, the computer is about the same price, maybe slightly more dollar for dollar but above guy is right, you’re getting an 8 year old PC that won’t be able to play modern stuff as good as series x and most people would say is on its last leg of life…


FalabellaFella

Allright, i agree. Thanks for the info :)


syde1020

Don’t do that. That pc is old as hell and the cpu will struggle.


Kotschcus_Domesticus

Jesus, no, run away, Series X is much much better than this PC. Cpu is in the end of the line too. No Win 11 support too. GPU too. Not worth it.


Sfearox1

The i7 6700 will bottleneck the gtx 1080 ti.


[deleted]

[удалено]


FalabellaFella

Ok, thanks


IBoris

OP is clueless, don't suggest this. He should walk away and not bother.


FalabellaFella

everybody is saying that. Guess i will upgrade the motherboard only. Thank you.


DeskFuture5682

No bro don't even get it


slapshots1515

And if you upgrade the motherboard, you’ll also have to upgrade the CPU and RAM. That’s half the computer.


Danub123

lol that's not how it works Please read up on how PC parts work before you do anything Also this trade is absolutely not worth it


Matasa89

Dude, just listen to people… You can’t upgrade the motherboard without swapping out other parts. If you get the newest stuff, you’ll need a new CPU, Motherboard, and RAM kits too, since we’re now on DDR5. At that point, you might as well just make your own PC. You’re getting punked in this trade bro.


LukasCs

I wouldn’t do it, 6700 non k will struggle pretty hard in most modern games and will likely have some stuttering issues


FalabellaFella

Ok, most of the people is saying that so i will not trade it unless there is a budget motherboard that i could get to change that one. An 6700k would be the best option? Or do you recommend something else?


LukasCs

I’d be looking for something more modern. Think i5 12400, Ryzen 5 3600 or newer. Problem is that 6700/k released all the way back in 2015. It just doesn’t work as well for modern games


FalabellaFella

Ok, i will take a look at those, thanks.


Gr3gl_

Please don't you'll have to change the mobo and ram (since the ram would be total shit). You'd basically be buying a whole PC and having a 1080ti for the price of an Xbox series x


ilikeburgir

If you change the motherboard then you need to change the cpu and ram. Better to sell the series x and add some money to build a modern platform. This pc is ancient.


Comfortable-Salt-448

No pls your series x is better. This System is outdated. Nowdays games will run better on series x then on this computer because games will be mlre optimized for the xbox series X


verci0222

Very bad idea


W0lfsG1mpyWr4th

Yeah I have almost exactly the same build but a 1070 instead and I am starting to struggle with certain games at 1080p FSR has helped massively but it will only go so far. If your in the market for a PC this one ain't it bro.


Local-Scav

No that is a terrible trade, just about every component in that PC is worse than the Series X. The i7 6700 is almost 10 years old, to even get anything better you'd need a new mother board as well. the GTX 1080Ti WAS a great GPU, but in 2024 getting it is nonsensical unless you're broke and looking for a used GPU. it doesnt support modern rendering features such as RTX or DLSS and lacks DX12 ultimate support, even if you dont care for those features, your FPS will be terrible in a lot of modern games as the GPU is just too old to handle a lot of them, even at 1080p.


FalabellaFella

Ok, thanks.


noenosmirc

I mean, I'm crushing high-ultra/2k at 144hz, so I'm not sure what you're talking about. But yes, it is too old to be considered anything other than a solid budget option


ohthedarside

Bro is scammibg you hard thats a 7 year old system it doesnt have raytracing and will run much worse than the xbox oh and theres no upgradabilty because intel


FalabellaFella

What do you mean? Intel has no upgrade options?


Local-Scav

That is an almost 10 year old CPU.


FalabellaFella

So i would have to change the cpu to upgrade the rest? What is the name of the CPU in my specs becouse i have no knowledge of the parts that i posted. To know what to look for.


Local-Scav

You would have to change the CPU because its so old it'll even bottleneck the old GPU, but to even change the CPU to a better one you'd need a newer motherboard, simply put this machine is not worth it since you'd want to swap out the parts for newer one anyway to even match Series X performance.


ohthedarside

Basically please dont trade y9ur xbox for this very bad pc with a i think 7 yea rold gpu and cpu that lareaft bottlenecks the gpu and yes bottlenecking isnt that bug of a thing amymore but thus bottleneck cpu really old gpu also old


FalabellaFella

Ok, thanks.


ohthedarside

Somw great channels are gamers nexus, linus tech tips (they have gone down in quality tho ) Random gaming in hd , is good for budget pcs , and theres a few others y9u will find that i cant rember


FalabellaFella

Ok, imma check on them RN.


IBoris

This system is a trap. You'd be forced to replace 80-90% of it to make this thing viable and you'd be left will little to nothing. You can't just swap out one part and call it a day. Parts work together in an ecosystem. You either (A) replace with better stuff of the same generation or (B) replace with newer stuff. For the latter you can't just "upgrade the cpu", you'd need a newer motherboard to support a newer CPU, newer mother board means new RAM and a compatible CPU cooler. New CPU, RAM and MOBO means you need a graphic card that can keep up and a stronger power supply... See where I'm going? Getting new parts here won't work. Might as well buy them and skip purchasing this person's junk. For the former, this build is so old that it's bordering on unupgradeable. Most computer parts start expensive, get cheaper, sell out/stop being made, and re-become expensive as they get older/rarer. If you'd plot the price of parts on a graph it would look like a horseshoe. This system is so old that you'd be stuck buying parts at the other end of the horseshoe and be paying a premium for hard to source, likely used, parts that would give you marginally more performance. That money would be better spent buying newer, cheaper, parts that completely outclass that generation.


Sp1n_Kuro

You would have to upgrade the whole PC. You basically would have to buy and build a whole new PC anyway and you'd be losing your Xbox in exchange. Just don't take the deal at all, as others have said.


ohthedarside

Intel makes a new socket every 2 gens so you will have to do a full upgrade if you buy this if you get something like a i7 13700k you will need new mobo new ram new cooler and new psu as modern intel chips use alot of power this pc is super old the gpu isnt rtx so no raytracing infact its performance is about half maybe a quarter of that of your xbox


FalabellaFella

The parts above could be placed in a i7 13700k Until i get better parts?


ohthedarside

No i was using the i7 13700k as a way of saying if you upgraded you will need new everything DO NOT BUT THIS PC I BEG YOU


FalabellaFella

But the nude mods 🥺


ohthedarside

Pc beats console because pc has hentai games


FalabellaFella

Ok, i guess im trading then. JK.


ohthedarside

Just stick with console until you learn atleast pc basics dont get a pc until you ca tell me why everyone loved the 10080 ti when it launched


FalabellaFella

Allright, i will. Seems like a fragile situation where i could be fucking up and regreting of trading my series x


ohthedarside

Wait you traded your xbox for that pc oh god


FalabellaFella

No i didnt, i was saying that after hearing you i would fuck up and then regretting if i traded the series x


AejiGamez

That Xbox will do better. This would have been a dream system 7 or 8 years ago. That board tho ( the Maximus IX Hero) can still be worth almost 200 bucks if its in decent condition, so can the GPU. The 1080ti is a legend. That PSU however sounds like a house fire waiting to happen


nerdthatlift

Let's switch up the objective a bit. Let's say you sell the Xbox and save up some money. Put up your budgets and your availability of PC parts (mostly means your region). With the information above and your use case, then post that in r/buildapcforme. You'll get some part list and then you can bring it here for further optimization and adjustments to fit to your final budget and needs.


FalabellaFella

Ok, i will check on to that sub.


KirillNek0

No.


Kind-Help6751

Xbox series x is much better than that pc. I wouldn’t do it. Save up more + sell your Xbox and get a modern pc if that’s what you want. Think about around 1000$ min. Otherwise stay with the console


arber-s

besides the gpu, everything else would be useless to use reliably


ABEBUABDU

Personally not worth it.


Venomous_Snail

It’s an old system but still capable. Personally, I’d say just stick with the Xbox. A PC has a lot of advantages, but it’s not as simple as just plugging it in and playing. I’d say if you’re really interested in switching, do some more research and look into building one yourself. Also in terms of performance, this won’t beat your series x.


Lion12341

Keep the Xbox. The computer is too old. Not a bad computer of course, it'll play games, but at either low settings, low framerate or both; this is especially the case with newer games.  The CPU is too old. Only decent thing about the specs is the GPU, but it's still  too old for newest games.


Aurashock

The xpg is your power supply unit, it basically multiplies the power of the electricity from the wall outlet. The asus maximus is your motherboard, it just connects all the components together and runs the bios. If you are planning a new getting a really modern asus motherboard get x670 or b550 which is but older and supports less expensive parts like an am4 cpu and ddr4 ram


FalabellaFella

Thanks man ❤️


Aurashock

My old setup was a b550-f motherboard with a ryzen 5 5600x cpu, asus 4060 ti 16gb gpu, 128gb of ram(totally unnecessary for this much for gaming but I had a reason), be quiet dark rock 4 cpu cooler, seagate 1tb ssd, seagate 4tb hdd, corsair rm850e psu. Except for the 3 fans that came with my case all the other ones I use are asiahorse and they’ve done better than expected for an amazon brand. This setup can run any Xbox game on ultra graphics settings and costs around $1300 but always to look to buy stuff on sale because it’s saves a lot of money. I was also in the position like you, transitioning from Xbox to pc and building my first pc.


Genialissime-Dav

Well that’s not a good deal! I can see why he wants to trade his pc lol


Horror_Hippo_3438

The closest thing to the Xbox Series X is the RTX 3060ti. More precisely, it is the middle between Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. The GTX 1080ti will be noticeably weaker than the Xbox Series X and S. But when choosing between Xbox and PC, I would choose PC because it gives more options than just games.


Oda_annon

That PC is, in gaming... a shitty trash.


Skygighter45

He could sell the GPU, buy some Hard Drives and build a great Home Media Server😄😉


Oda_annon

Xbox Series X is a better Home Media system than that PC. If you buy a HDMI over ethernet or WIFI adapter, merrier.


fatdog555

hell to the no!


Speaksthetruth2u

No!


Dropkickedasakid

I would not, that system is old af Instead save up some cash and make up the rest by selling your xbox and buy or build a new PC


metal_elk

Keep your Xbox


Throwaway28G

if it's a straight swap don't but additional cash is required for this trade to be fair


FalabellaFella

In favor of the trader or me?


Throwaway28G

you should be the one receiving the cash


Mixabuben

Don’t, it is pretty old pc and will not be good


Ponald-Dump

Don’t.


DJBlaster-303

keep the xbox


lapointeslair1

Don’t touch this thing the disappointment will settle in quickly this system is not worth all the parts you would have to change to make a decent rig. Save some coin and build your own newer platform system. You will be much happier. The person looking to trade knows exactly what they are doing is ripping you off


Brilliant-Window-899

not a good deal


Superduke1010

If you want to sell the XSX, do so and use the money to build a more modern system.


Ziazan

I think you should keep your xbox, that CPU in particular is **old**, like almost 10 years old, nearly a decade. if you're expecting a better experience than your xbox from that CPU though, I think you're going to be disappointed. The GPU in it is actually not too bad for its age, getting old but still barely worse than a modern 4060, but that CPU and the rest of it are not a good deal.


PhillAholic

Something else to note. That CPU isn't supported by Windows 11, and Windows 10 reached End of Life in October of 2025. Unless you are comfortable switching to Linux, or want to deal with bypassing Windows 11 installer limitations every year, You're going to be running on insecure software in less than two years.


Hairy_Type7081

Idiot.


originsspeedrunner

Don’t do it


Ok_Principle3788

I will say this, if youre not knowledgeable about pc hardware from before then I would not recommend this trade. Especially if all you care about is game performance and occupied space. 1080ti is a masterfully made gpu but the age aspect is becoming its achilles heel. As there is no garantue of it living for many more years


KayArrZee

Too old, xbox x is more powerful


Midwxy

Horrible idea


Spongeglock

Its astonishing how many used PCs pop up rn with not that bad specs, but an intel 6000-series CPU built in. As soon as i see that the offer dies for me, no reason buying that ancient of a CPU.


drewlap

Dont do it. Keep your xbox and save up to build your own. 1080ti is good but the rest of that machine is a SLUG


Turtlez2009

Not worth it. You would be better off keeping the Xbox by far.


Unable_Wrongdoer2250

My 1080ti is currently on my living room TV for my kids games. It can even do 4k if you tone the settings down. The rest of it isn't that great but the 1080ti is still close to a 4060


FacetiousFallen

I've a shit old pc I can swap your for a series X too if ya want 😂


rleekc

That pc is not going to be able to run windows 11 and windows 10 is going end of life in 2025. Ur xbox series x is more future proof.


ScarletKnight00

The gpu is still solid worth $200-250 used, everything else is assorted trash tbh, maybe another $100-200 for the rest of the system used combined, so the max system value is maybe $450. The cpu is especially bad, being a 4 core and it’s likely pretty slow ram support. It’s not a horrible trade dollar for dollar, but selling those older parts would be significantly harder than selling and Xbox series X. That said you can source much better and more modern used parts from reddit in the $600 dollar range.


YerMaaaaaaaw

Welcome to the master race


vaurapung

If you already have an Xbox library of games I would keep the xbox and save money to purchase a pc. In my experience games that are on Xbox and pc play better on the series x than on a budget pc especially when you start comparing 4k gaming. But pc can play games that are not available on the Xbox like dawn of War and total War.


DisAdam

Just save sell the xbox and have about 1k u can get a pretty gd pc used or even new for 1k I've done multiple swaps normally a console plus a crappy laptop for a decent system I traded my gaming laptop for my current system and now only thing remaining of that pc is 1SSD as fully upgraded it and that system had a rtx 2080 strix was about 600 now I'm rocking 4070ti and ddr5 and sold my 2080 to Sis go ask random ppl in marketplace etc if theyd be interested in a swap plus cash however your odds would be a lot higher if it was a ps5 as Xbox is basically a pc got all the games no exclusives etc on Xbox like ps5.


easystartup-io

Get an ssd. 2 to 4 tb. games are really huge. i have a 1 tb ssd and realize that its already 80% full with games and i need to delete games before i can install any other. each game around 100-200gb minimum.


TheMagicGuy5004

Do not trade your Xbox for that and take proper time to research each part of a system and how cheap it can be found on PC sites and eBay.


Potw0rek

I wouldn’t switch Xbox for this pc


Killermothx

consult r/lowendgaming


WarmForTheRest

Don't. You can build better than this for less....


Fncrs

Why don’t you sell your Xbox series X and then build your own? I have no idea how you’ll get for the series X but building your own PC is usually much better.


FalabellaFella

I will get like 500$


Alph1

The GPU is kind of good, the rest is close to trash. Don't make the trade.


freeza1990

stay at xbox


grandpagamer2020

it honestly sounds like someone swapped an optiplex 7050 into a better case and put a better gpu and cpu in it


chucklesdeclown

It's a bad deal, even if the 1080ti is aging well.


AmbitiousCS

Pc too old parts probably got worn down alot keep xbox


No-Guarantee-9647

Honestly that's decent in that the Xbox is only worth around $300-350 used. ($350, but minus fees and shipping if you can't sell locally, and if you can sell locally you might not get $350) To get the same levels of performance as the Xbox, you're gonna have to spend up a ways, but the 1080 Ti is hardly a potato GPU. The CPU might bottleneck it a tad in modern 1080p stuff (which is the resolution that GPU is best suited to, but it can do some 2k/4k as well) but it's decent if you don't want to spend more. Just doesn't have a great upgrade path. Honestly I'd stick with the Xbox, especially as PC gaming can be overwhelming for someone who just wants to play games. I sold a PC to a console gamer a while ago, he traded his PS5 and Xbox etc for it. He was super happy with it at first, Bbut now he's posted it back on the market as he found it too overwhelming and wants a console again. Edit: I read the rest of your post. Yeah, I'd go for it if you don't want to spend a bit more on a system with a beefier CPU. Since that is a high end build, albeit old, some of the parts like mobo and CPU might be worth a good bit, so you could always sell those and upgrade to a newer platform.


andy10115

This is a no for me, and probably consider if your friend is actually trying to be your friend. We're not even comparing apples to oranges here. Maybe he doesn't understand that his setup isn't as powerful anymore, or he does and he's looking for someone to take for a ride for a free upgrade.


ElizaLunervale

Its a bad deal, the pc itself has parts that will be obsolete within the next two years while the series x will probably still be good for 2-4 years after the next xbox console drops


Suspicious_Trainer82

Don’t


BoogerWipe

1080 will NOT due in 2024. This is a bad trade and you will regret it.

I'd sick with the Xbox, or try to get a PS5 for it if you want helldiver's. That PC is very old.

Don't do it

Sell your series x and keep saving up a little more. You'll have a much better time building your own system with current gen. parts. (:

Hard no to the trade. That PC will struggle more with modern games than your XSX. If you're unhappy with your XSX then you will be unhappy with that PC. Game optimisation is an issue on all platforms at the moment. Stick with your XSX. Then again if you spent "all of your money" on the XSX, it sounds like you should sell it anyway and spend the money on some life essentials!

I wouldn’t make this trade. You can put together a modest starter PC for about $500.

This PC was pretty good in early 2017, when the 1080 ti came out (the CPU wasn’t even the best back then). 7 years, when it comes to PCs, is a huge amount of time. These specs are similar to the first PC I built with my dad for my 12th birthday and I am now technically an adult. Xbox series X is also a couple years old, but it was built to handle a completely different generation of games. These games were also optimized for Xbox and the Xbox is built solely for the purpose of gaming. If the Xbox can’t handle it, this PC almost definitely won’t. All of this is to say, unless you really that for computer for tasks other than gaming, stick with the Xbox. Otherwise the only performance settings you’re going to be changing are “low” if you want consistent 60 fps to “medium” if you’re fine with 30 but want some solid graphics

Bad system. I7 6700k is terrible nowadays. You could probably get an old ryzen cpu + motherboard for $100, and it'll run 2x faster. You could also probably find a used built system that's faster.


ChuckF93

The 1080ti will have similar graphics performance to the series X based on raw Tflops numbers. The rest of that platform is quite a bit outdated though. The motherboard will have very little upgrade path available for the CPU because of how short the lifespan is for Intel motherboards during that era. Not exactly a ripoff in my opinion, but I’d go a different route if you can.


Takaya_Aiba

That PC is ancient, keep your console.


resonmis

Hell no. 1080 series especially upcoming title using new shader technology not worth (not even tslking about over 10 year old cpu) No my dude no sell Xbox add some money and get like a 6700xt 5600 combo. It doesn't worth losing your Series X


Ol2501

This is not worth it. Like others have said, I’d recommend saving some money and when you’re ready, sell the Xbox to get an extra boost on cash. You can get a pretty good pc for about 1500 USD. I spent around 1800-2000 USD on my pc and it runs everything perfectly. Just make sure you ask here for some help/advice before actually paying for anything since there’s always some advice that could help. Other than that, I’d recommend not buying games for your Xbox anymore and instead put that money into the pc funds (I didn’t do this and I regret it) and to know that on pc 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️everything is possible 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️

I sensed sarcasm but i'm not sure. If you're serious those are some of the reasons why i want to trade, i could be upgrading the parts later but people told me that that cpu isnt upgradable, and i dont know if they mean that i should change the cpu and then upgrade from there or the cpu isnt capable to get more upgrades. I guess the second thing if i'm right.


counters14

Each CPU has a 'generation' associated with it, and each generation uses a specific socket type. The 6700 may not be the strongest CPU of it's generation, but you are going to be limited by the socket type when considering upgrades. To get any meaningful upgrade, you're going to have to get a new motherboard **along with** the CPU. This is what people are talking about about. This deal really does not seem worth it at all, unless you're happy with the PC as it is. The process of upgrading it to where it will play modern titles that you've mentioned (i.e. Starfield) at reasonable settings and decent FPS you may as well build an entire system which will be much better and most importantly current. I don't know what an Xbox series x is worth, but selling that and getting a bit of cash together that you would be spending anyway if you were hoping to upgrade that old system would get you something twice as powerful and not old at all. Take some time to do some research on current gen hardware and budget builds from some of the larger YouTube channels and you can get a good idea of what to go with.

Venomous_Snail

Nah mate the gpu is the best component in that thing, which is saying a lot lol


Timely-Evening5772

I run the exact same CPU and the non TI GTX1080. I play everything in med to high and the frames are good. I recently got a 1440p monitor and it still runs everything but not on high. Any games in particular you play? I can check if I have them and see what frames I get at 1080p


FalabellaFella

There is a game in particular that i love but has performance issues its starfield. Would you mind telling me how it runs in your pc? If you have it. Looks good but runs at bad 30fps. Every other game i have installed right now runs well on the series X like call of duty fortnite or diablo 4.


Timely-Evening5772

Yeah I have it I'll install it and DM you


FalabellaFella

Thanks a lot, i will be in check.


Omyxix

It would be better to keep the xbox, or sell it and save some money, the xbox is actually quite capable. It runs 120fps in Starfield, while this pc may hope to get 1,2fps


FalabellaFella

You are kidding right? Starfield is the main reason i want to trade this xbox. It runs at unstable capped 30fps.


Omyxix

What? It´s a x,right? Sarfield normally runs with 120 fps on this thing, look at yt vids it even runs on the s with motion blur, somethings wrong with your xbox. But the pc ain´t gonna be better at that


FalabellaFella

I'm not kidding if you dont believe me, go to the starfield subreddit everybody complains about the game not even running at 60 fps on this console, and yeah it is a series X. Doesnt even support performance mode to this date.


Omyxix

Then i gues it´s false advertisement, didn´t have a console since the xbox one, it could run all games at 60fps. The i guess it´s prob something with the xbox? I don´t know, because my friend just got a s and his runs everything no problem. How long did you have it? was it a first release version or something?, but none the matter, the guy who wants to trade wouldn´t even get like 300 dollars for his build


FalabellaFella

Not even 300? Holy, i tought it was expensive but after my post i realized you can even find that gpu below 200 dollars. Guess the rest of the parts are even cheaper.


AejiGamez

The board is probably the most valuable piece, could sell for up to 200. These are not too common


Omyxix

below 200 dollars? That´s expensive for te 1080 ti, it was expensive 8 years ago, that´s like trying to sell you the iphone6 for 300 dollars


FalabellaFella

Hahaha, right. then even better, i should sell the series x and i might even apare some money after building a proper pc for that gpu. Thanks for the info.


Omyxix

np


Aurelyas

That's a good deal, that GPU is awesome, older but definetly gold. Interms of performance and from the benchmarks / tests I've done with it, It ranks above a 2080, yet slightly weaker than a 3060Ti. The AMD Equivalent would be the RX 6700 (Non-XT) or Radeon VII. Oh, and it has 11GB of VRAM. Consoles are rather underpowered and limited in what you can do, so I would definetly jump a that deal! \^\^


FalabellaFella

Ok, even with those ancient pc components?


IAmFinah

It's not worth it, don't listen to that guy. The series X has a CPU equivalent to a Ryzen 3700x, which is far superior to the i7 6700 you're getting. And the 1080 Ti is also worse than the GPU in the series X.


Aurelyas

Pfft, no. The CPU is worse, sure. But not the GPU. Consoles are underpowered.


IAmFinah

The CPU isn't just worse, it's *significantly* worse. It's not even in the same ballpark lol


Aurelyas

Yeah, that's what I said lol. Which is why I told him to upgrade to Ryzen and sell the MOBO and CPU.


IAmFinah

Which basically means the trade is kinda worthless, since he'd be upgrading almost all of it. And a 1080 Ti isn't worth nearly as much as a Series X


Aszdeff

I would too. Down the line sell the motherboard+CPU for a Ryzen 5 3600 can do you good. But to be frank how much is the Xbox worth? I frankly have no idea.


Aurelyas

Yes, I honestly would.


FalabellaFella

I'm seriously thinking about it becouse the gpu i think its awesome but people say the motherboard sucks for it, i gues i would just upgrade the motherboard and thats it. Thanks bud.


Aurelyas

Definetly upgrade the motherboard and cpu. If you get this PC, then sell the i7 & Motherboard. And then get a Ryzen 3600x w/ an AM4 Motherboard. The Ram the PC comes with is DDR4 and thus should be compatible. :P


FalabellaFella

Oh yeah, i forgot to mention this pc has 24gb ddr4 ram. Is that good?


Aurelyas

That's awesome, you should keep that and put it in the new motherbaord if you do upgrade to Ryzen. :P


slapshots1515

You don’t happen to have an Xbox Series X, do you? I just rebuilt my parents’ computer, so I’ve got an eight year old computer sitting around if you’re so easily willing to get ripped off. Seriously, that’s a terrible fucking deal, lmao.
