「PS5 Pro買うならPCでよくね？」←実際に同じ予算で作ってみた。

Summary

The video tests the claim that “if a PS5 Pro costs this much, you might as well build a gaming PC” by assembling a PC around the PS5 Pro’s ¥137,980 price. The build uses a mix of new and used parts, so the host emphasizes that this is an entertainment comparison—not a like-for-like comparison of two all-new systems.

PC build and budget

The main components are an Intel Core i5-12400F, 32GB of DDR4 memory, a 1TB M.2 SSD, and a used GeForce RTX 3080. The build also includes a B760 motherboard, a 750W power supply, an inexpensive air cooler, a Corsair case, and a new Windows 11 Home license.

The video reports a total cost of ¥140,675, about ¥2,700 more than the PS5 Pro. Choosing a 2TB SSD instead would raise the PC total to about ¥161,675.

The host prioritizes the graphics card over the CPU, reasoning that a stronger GPU matters more for demanding games at high resolutions than extremely high frame rates at 1080p. The PC’s 32GB of RAM is also presented as useful for multitasking, while storage can be expanded later.

The RTX 3080 is a used, older high-end graphics card purchased for about ¥45,900. The host says buying used parts from Dospara feels more reassuring than using peer-to-peer marketplaces because the retailer checks and packages them. However, used hardware still carries uncertainty, so it may be better suited to builders with some experience.

Build guide and practical advice

The assembly walkthrough covers installing the CPU, two RAM modules in the motherboard’s recommended slots, and the M.2 SSD; mounting the CPU cooler and applying thermal paste; installing the motherboard and power supply in the case; and securing and powering the GPU.

The host highlights several common precautions:

• Check CPU–motherboard compatibility before buying parts.
• Remove protective film from heatsinks and cooler surfaces.
• Start screws by hand before tightening them with a screwdriver.
• Make sure the CPU cooler is properly seated.
• Secure a heavy graphics card firmly.

The video also mentions a separate, more detailed PC-building and wiring guide for viewers who want additional instruction.

Testing and PS5 Pro comparison

The completed PC passed CPU and combined CPU/GPU stress tests. Under full load, power consumption was about 500W. The host found the system relatively quiet, with acceptable temperatures.

In game tests, the PC handled many games well at 1080p and WQHD. Final Fantasy XV reached roughly 140 FPS at 1080p and around 120–130 FPS at WQHD. At 4K, performance fell, but remained above 60 FPS. Cyberpunk 2077 was described as comfortable at 1080p and WQHD with standard settings, while ray tracing and demanding 4K settings were more challenging.

The comparison with the PS5 Pro showed different trade-offs:

• Apex Legends: The PC reached around 130–150 FPS at 4K in the tested conditions. The PS5 Pro ran at about 120 FPS in performance mode and about 60 FPS in its balanced visual mode.
• Monster Hunter Wilds: The game was demanding on the RTX 3080, so PC results depended on the selected resolution and frame-generation settings. On PS5 Pro, the host observed roughly 30–40 FPS in image-quality mode, around 60 FPS in balanced mode, and about 100 FPS in performance mode.
• Final Fantasy VII Rebirth: High PC settings were demanding. The host was impressed by the PS5 Pro’s Enhanced Mode, which uses PSSR upscaling and was reported to deliver a 4K/60 FPS experience.

The video does not declare one platform the winner. The host argues that a PC offers broader uses, such as video editing, multiple monitors, Steam games, and mods. The PS5 Pro, by contrast, offers a ready-to-use, purpose-built gaming experience without assembly or the same troubleshooting burden. The conclusion is that the two platforms serve different needs.
