Just curious.  How much was your custom PC?  This is an honest question because it sounds expensive as hell.  Mine was around $1500-$1600

Only the LGA 2011 moterboard cost over $300... the CPU Sandy Bridge-E over $300... 4x modules DDR3 2400 ~$300.

MB + CPU + Memory = ~$1000

Damn that's a lot, just for those. But if I could afford it I probably would go all out too on mine.

No need for that kind of setup for gaming, even current day Sandy or Ivy Bridge will still perform much faster than what's in the PS4 for much cheaper than high class Intel stuff. AMD's Steamroller will also roll some faces when it comes out and that's going to be even cheaper than Intel stuff at 8 cores with good performance.
