I want to see a PC that doesn't need to be built, that can be bought for $400, that can match the current consoles right out of the box.

Let's define built for this:

Built = anything more than just buying it, bringing it home, plugging it in, and starting a game.

I don't think I am going out on a limb in saying that the majority of people who play console games are not the types that are out building custom PCs.


You can buy a desktop PC from walmart for $250 and stick a nVidia 750ti ($130) into it and it will give the same performance of a PS4.

You can even buy one from BestBuy

That doesn't fit the "built" clause of my post.  Unless you can bring it home, plug it in, and instantly start playing games at an equal or greater setting than the consoles, that is going to deter the "normal" video game player from going PC.
