PC has an ancient architecture from the 80's plus a terrible software like DirectX and OpenGL that takes up to 50% of it's raw power.
This is what John Carmack has been saying for over a year (you need a 3.68 Teraflop GPU on PC in order to match PS4's GPU ).
So the i7(4/8)@3,5GHz + 8GB of RAM + R9290 2GB is a pretty reasonable config if you want to play modern games in 1080p/60fps in high setings on a PC.
Also I agree with OdinHades, games on consoles are selling in millions while on PC in thousends, why developers should spent months of optimalization for the hardware that has more pirates than gamers?
