If you work on pcs all day, pc is perhaps the worst option. Playing on pc is great if you work away from a desk and have some extra time to fiddle around which makes it ideal for kids and cave dwellers.
This will sound controversial but the graphical options offered by pc are for the most part not worth it. Barring cyberpunk, it’s a giant money pit with little payoff. I say that as someone who owns a very expensive pc and barely plays games on it. The best games worth playing on pc always show up on console even late. The so called eye candy never makes the game fun. Once you get to 60fps, everything over doesn’t make the game more fun, etc. You really begin to understand how much of a waste it is after purchasing a 4090. Perhaps the worst part is that the most graphically intensive games are console ports. Almost nobody creates a game from scratch for high end hardware. So in the end, you pay more money to run console games with after thought graphical settings shoehorned with into the game. You also get way more stutter, more bugs, too many launchers, etc.
If your goal is just to play the latest games, then keep it simple and just get a console. It’s the most cost effective way to play games. If you’re a child, then pc makes more sense because it’s a multi-utility device and gives them avenues to explore and learn. If you’re an adult with responsibilities, good luck convincing your significant other to sit away in another room playing pc games. Worse yet, good luck convincing them to allow you to put a pc in the living room.
Finally, there’s the argument made by the pc boys that it can do more things. They usually reference video editing(better and faster on mac), programming(better on Linux), music editing(better on mac), cheaper games(no longer the case depending on region), more options etc. While pc does provide more options, if it’s not something you were already doing in your day to day life, pc is useless. Those who wanted/needed a pc already have one. For most people, smart phones and tablets are sufficient for their day to day needs.
Long story short, get a console or in this case a ps5 pro. Pc no longer poses a convincing argument if the sole purpose is to play games. Back in the day, pc offered huge value proposition as big budget games were made to exclusively push the platform. That is no longer the case.
