Making the switch from PS4 to PC

[Slush2318]

Hello

Fairly new to farm simulator but can't stop playing lol. I want to go to PC for more mods for overall enjoyment. Is there an advantage to buying the Steam vs disc version at all? Also my PC is quite old so thinking of getting a gaming PC like Cybertron,iBuyPower or cyberpower. Any recommendations don't want to break the bank. Also do most PC players play on a monitor or do they hookup to big screen TV.

I play on PC with a normal monitor and I have the disk version. Gives you a poster and stuff. I prefer it over steam. Just my opinion. As for a PC, you don't necessarily have to get a gaming computer to run it on high settings. I have a PC that I got on sale for $500 (normally $620) that runs it on high, with a ton of mods, between 30 and 60 FPS. So you don't have to spend a lot to get it to run well.

Hey thanks for the quick response and info. Yes most of the gaming PC I've been looking at are around $500-700.

Great I've never played on console but thoroughly enjoy it on PC. Hope you enjoy it, and don't hesitate to ask if you have any more questions

Buying on Steam gives you the possibility to easily backup you game files as is. no re-installation needed only to restore backup. Lot faster if you use a USB3 HDD Drive or thos new USB3 SSD external drives(incredibly fast).

DVD Version has the downside to be SO Slow, it's way out dated... Only for those who can't afford large downloads(limited data bandwith).

If you have unlimited bandwith and a good internet speed go for Steam version, it's worth it.

I've never regretted using steam for all my PC games. Their all still there for me to play as I wish. Also great deals can be had. There's no disadvantages that I've ever come across. My desktop sits close to my TV so I bought a gpu with dual HDMI outs so I can switch to whichever I want. If you have that ability it's nice imo.
