No 450$ PC is going to match the PS4 on anything lol

*edit* those are some excellent builds. Some people done some good shopping on that thread. But does not include the price of a mouse, keyboard, monitor (most people already have HDTVs and an HDTV as a monitor is annoying but possible...) Windows, etc.

Add 20-50 to the price for Windows (most people don't pay $100 for it, that is a rip-off price) and 20-50 for a keyboard + monitor to their $380 build. Then you have a $420-$480 PC that performs just as well as a PS4 in games. That is a pretty close price-range, considering all the other features that PC gives you which a PS4 does not. Also if you consider that you don't need to buy the PC you were planning to buy on top of your PS4, and the savings on games/online, PC gaming can be much less than console gaming in total price.  The one thing you have to consider with PC gaming as an implicit cost is power consumption.
