From the fact that user surveys of hardware show that their rigs are worse than current gen consoles. I wouldn't call those gaming PCs.

Also, if your 2010 built rig cant handle current games unless you crank the settings to low for it to run, i put it to you that your rig wasnt high end when you built it anyway.
Let me guess, mid range amd cpu, mid range gpu?

Nah. It's i7 running 3.2GHz and I have 5800 series ATI. CPU was over $300 and GPU was over $200 when I purchased it from Newegg.

Unless you've got <4GB of RAM or are running dual monitors/ higher than 1080P resolution, you should have no trouble equalling the current gen consoles.

I've got 6GB of RAM running dual monitors (should be 12GB, but I've got a bad RAM slot). My main monitor is 1920x1200. I'm able to run things decently at low/medium (i.e. plenty of framerate drops but it's manageable).
I very rarely actually play games at 1200p because I can't run it well at all. Usually go for 1050, which is the next lowest 16:10 resolution.
