Here's a better one I think. $592 Still more powerful than both consoles but closer in price.

CPU: Intel i5 ivy bridge $180
MOBO: MSI Z77A LGA1155 $104 (includes free 8GB RAM)
RAM: Crucial 8GB DDR3 1600 $0
GPU: Sapphire HD7850 1GB GDDR5 $140
PSU - ANTEC 650W $70
DVD - ASUS DVD burner $17 (unsure if I even need this, let alone a BR drive)
HDD - WD 500GB 7800RPM SATA 6Gb/s $60
Case - Gigabyte steel case $21

This config will never run games better than PS4 and you forget OS, Mouse, keyboard, etc.

The others config you posted too... not "powerful" enough to reach PS4.
