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.

Yeah then you should have gotten your fact straight, the PC you just build is nowhere near as powerful as the PS4

How are the three builds I posted not more powerful?

CPU

PS4 has a low-power AMD Jaguar CPU.

8-cores @ 1.6GHz with NO L3 cache and 2MB L2 cache PER 4-cores (4MB total).

The AMD I listed above is a normal-power AMD Vishera CPU.

8-cores @ 3.5GHz with 8MB of L3 cache and 2MB L2 cache PER 2-cores (8MB total).

I don't see how you can argue the lower end Jaguar at less than 1/2 the clock and FAR less cache is going to outperform the Vishera CPU.

The two intel i5s are only quad-core, but they routinely outperform AMDs 8-core, especially in gaming.

http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/698?vs=702 (comparison of the Vishera CPU I listed and the higher end i5)

I think I've shown definitively my CPU choices are better than PS4s.

GPU (all 256-bit)

PS4 has an AMD GPGPU @800MHz - 1152 cores - 1.84TF.
Xbone has an AMD GPGPU @800MHz - 768 cores - 1.23TF.

The Sapphire HD7850 I picked is @920MHz - 1024 cores - 1.88TF.

I'd say these are very comparable cards and better than both consoles.

RAM

PS4 has 8GB of GDDR5 at 176GB/s that is on the MOBO.
Xbone has 8GB of DDR3 at 68.3GB/s that is on the MOBO. (+32MB eSRAM @ 102GB/s on GPU)

My configurations have: (corrected g.skill RAM link)
8GB of DDR3 at 21.3GB/s (on MOBO)
PLUS
2GB of GDDR5 at 176GB/s (on GPU)

While my ram is slower than both in the main 8GB of ram, it includes 2GB on GPU itself that matches the highest rate. I think in the long run my 10GB total ram beats/matches Xbone and is comparable to PS4 to not really matter.

Conclusion

I was right all along. (Though I was definitely not far exceeding PS4... probably more on par with it than exceeding)
