Which is why I am finally going to make a switch to PS5 as my first dedicated game console after 2 decades of Gaming PC's. 500$ for a high performance box that will game for atleast 5 years that I can connect to my existing 4k monitors or my 4k tv is an insane deal.

I'm looking at doing the same thing. I've been struggling with my PC all week. Second time this year, usually the only good avenue for a fix is to format and re-install Windows... I've had enough. My Macbook Pro 2015 has been doing just fine for 5 years and is currently doing great with a new battery. So I'm almost officially a console guy now QQ, guess I'm getting too old for this sh!t.

I just wish console games supported keyboard/mouse controls. Playing FPS games on a controller is painful.

Another problem is the latency of many TVs.

Hopefully they'll actually support motion aiming like on the switch this generation. It makes it a loooot more bearable. A lot of the waggle games on the wii have just burned people's expectations for motion controls, but if you try it with a ps4 or steam controller on pc you'll notice it's much more mouse-like than on just 2 sticks.

This doesn't sound right at all for modern Windows. You sure it isn't a hardware issue?

did it 5 years ago with the PS4 and now a Switch, never looked back. guess i got old and my priorities changed.
