$200 is entry level?
And second of all, the fact that we can get a better GPU for a "few hundred dollars more" is so ridiculous to bring up. Why did they even bother?

Because with that GPU you get a lot more performance (people had no problem paying "a few hundred dollars more" last gen to get the PS3 over the 360 when it came out). Plus, a PC is used for more than just gaming. A high-end PC can be built for $800-900 that will outpace either the PS4 or the Xbone for years to come. Not to mention that the software is much cheaper, and online is free. And PC is backwards compatible with games of all generations, and even older consoles.

I do wonder why the article even mentions pc. Anyone and their grandmother knows how a $500 gpu will have theorethically more horsepower than a ps4. The problem, however, with pc's is that the hardware never really gets fully optimized. Doesn't matter if you got a $500 or $10000 pc, you will still get ports from console games that are usually poorly optimized.
