It's amazing that my $400 Ps4 can even get comparable performance to my $1000 gaming PC. Now that's where the value in console comes in though. They give unparelled performance at their price range. I couldn't even come close to build a gamng pc as good as the ps4 for $400.

You can build a PC that's as good as a PS4 for $400.
Buy a second hand 6 year old Core 2 Quad PC for $50-$100, drop in a second hand $100 GPU like a 2Gb Radeon 6950, buy a cheap PSU and some extra Ram.
Then overclock the CPU to 3.6ghz+ and you have a PC that is arguably better than the PS4.
Although, personally I would lean towards a GCN GPU because of Mantle which would benefit greatly on a machine such as this.
As for a $1000 gaming PC, it would beat the PS4 back to age of empires, espcially if it's built today, they aren't even in the same league, even if you skew the results in the PS4's favor by throwing a Korean 1440P monitor into the PC's build.

Yep, you're right. If you take away the fact that this thing would break really soon, use more power, not perform as well, and probably have a failing gpu, you're right. A cheap PSU isn't really what you want to go for. Those old cpu's aren't as strong, and it can't be assumed that they'll overclock that high. Also, you're lowballing on prices, considering the cheapest computer I can find within your perameters is $170 on ebay. And the cheapest 6950 I can currently find on ebay is $200. Plus the ram would be very slow, consifering you'd be using ddr2, and ddr2 ram is also rediculously expensive. I never said that my $1000 pc doesn't beat by a lot, but the ps4 can offer similar performance in some games.
