Giving PS4 and Xbox One a run for their money

[Shido]

Hello, I was talking to a friend about Sony and Microsoft next consoles, he didnt know what to get(He's a X360 user but enjoys playing Sony explusives too) so I tell him to wait 2 years or so when, probably, next gen winner will be more evident and there will be a lot of next gen games to try, and console prices will be lower. I told him to buy a better PC, play some PC's exclusives and some next gen games too. He told me that was a very expensive idea, and I said I will build a cheap gaming PC comparable with next gen consoles. So here's my build.

This build is mostly for gaming, trying to keep components within next gen budget and performance, while still having quality components for well know brands mostly:
