A 550Ti can be found for $100-120 online, but a $400 PC can't ever be expected to run new PC games well for 5 years, at least not at 1080p... maybe at 720p and lowered graphics.

Lol, not according to dozens of threads on various gaming forums of PC elitists arguing against common sense back when the PS4/Xbone released. I just think it's funny to point it out now and then as newer games get released.
Those types of systems will never keep up with consoles in the same way.

550ti for 100-120????

Are you nuts? You can get a 280X/770 for that rpice.

A new 550ti would probably around 40-50.

You mean like the consoles? That can't play Battlefront at 1080p with their already reduced detail at 60fps?
