Of course the PlayStation 4 is cheaper than an equally powered PC. The question is, is it cheaper after five years of PS Plus? And when you factor in things like the lower costs of software on PC's, you get something pretty similar to equal pricing.

This, PCs gonna be the cheapest platform to play on in the long run

It has always been that way, in the PSX, PS2 and current gen as well. If you want to save money - get a PC. Consoles have always been a luxury, they give you extra comfort and you have to pay for it.

You are right that the config is more powerful but that config won't run games like PS4... you will need a even more powerful config.

- The CPU is fine.
- RAM I think you will need more RAM for the GPU... SystemRAM is fine.
- GPU you will need any over 2.5GLOPS

I know there is the obvious OS/PC tax that I'm not accounting for. But the raw specs are better. That is all I was aiming for.

I could of course put one together than when you take into account the PC tax on power it would soundly beat both consoles, but that would likely double my prices.

In reality I don't care as I game on Nintendo. lol

Who cares about raw specs apart from nerds who are j*rking off thinking about it? The graphics on this PC won't come close to what you'll see on a PS4/XO and that is what really matters. It's just too close, a PC has to be much more powerful than a console to run similar graphics.
