Can't you get all that for under $1000?

I don't know...

Core i5: $200-250
GTX 680: $500-550
Moterboard: $50-100
HDD: $50
DDR3: $50-100
Other: $50-100
Win8: ?

I think to make a good PC for gaming with better performance than PS4 you will need at least $1000.

PS. Most article I saw comparing PS4 and PC forget the case, motherboard, HDD, fans, cooler, windows (Linux have no gamez), joystick, etc...

 

Damn, I didn't realize the GTX 680 was that expensive. I guess the one I saw for $400 must've actually been on sale.

Windows 8 is $90 from Tiger Direct, btw. There's the cost of the PSU as well... I dunno how many extra case fans you need for a 680, but, from what I've seen, they're pretty cheap($9). Cases practically always seem to be on sale, too, and a wired 360 controller will set you back around $20. 

$1000 isn't all that much to spend for a quality PC, imo.
