You couldn't be more wrong. Maybe you should look at this post below

I disagree with their findings in a lot of ways. OS and API in Win 7 64 bit using only 15% of the cpu power and 17% of the RAM, directly checked from my settings as we speak, and that's with Firefox open with 6 tabs, plus antivirus/antimalware, Steam, and a handful of other underlying system tray apps running.

My system has 16 GB of ram in it, so even with it using 20% of that ram, it's less than 3 GB used, leaving 13 GB free. RAM is dirt cheap for PCs, throwing more in is easy. I can jump up to 128 GB in this motherboard with 1 click from Newegg.com. The latest update from the DX11 people have opened the bottleneck quite a bit more, for the newer vid cards and games.

DDR5 ram is nice, don't get me wrong, but it's nothing world-changing at the end of the day. RAM is like a storage chest - just because you can find something a little faster doesn't mean you can fit any more inside of it once it's full. Textures, poly processing, particles and lighting all depend on this. Vid cards ship now with 2 GB of VRAM now on average, and some are breaking that barrier as we speak to 4GB. A new version of PCIe is due out late 2013/early 2014, which will expand the bus channels that the data passes through by a significant amount.

So at the end of the day, I couldn't be more RIGHT. But my point still stands, you'd clearly rather be trying to make a case that a PS4 is more powerful than a PC than actually just go play your PS3 and actually enjoy gaming. Me, I'm stuck here for a little bit more, got to finish a film edit. Then I'll go load up LFD2 on Steam.  =)
