PC Gaming with slow download speed. Is it worth it?

So, I'm about ready to switch to PC as my main gaming platform. I have all the parts ready to be paid for and shipped. The only problem is, how I'm going to be able to get the games themselves. I have a very slow download speed.


It took me an entire day just to download League of Legends. I fear that when I try downloading a larger game, such as Battlefield 4 or Elder Scrolls Online, it will take me more than a day just to download a single game. Maybe even an entire week. Basically, my question is: Should I just accept that it will take a long time to download games and just get over it, or decide to stick with the consoles. I'm really excited about having a really good PC. Now, I'm just worried that I won't even be able to get games for it.

At least balance your setup, a decent PC with decent internet will be awesome enough.
If it's a beast PC, but with really bad internet, it'll be quite a task to work with.
I for one, use my laptop when I play on Survival and it's a really weak laptop. Although, I have a really good internet so it kinda balances it out.

I have a good rig but a pretty poor internet conection (abot twice as fast as yours) and I just download games over a few days. It is a bit iritating but hey I can live with it.

Hey, you wanna like give me the password of your router? Even if you live in Europe it'll still probably be faster than mine once it gets here.
