Yeah, Digital Foundry just recently tested GTA V with a 750ti and an i3 CPU, a build that would cost maybe $500 (less if you went ultra budget on secondary parts and already owned a copy of Windows). It got better framerates than PS4. PC gaming is not that expensive, especially once you factor in the money you'd save from many new games being $10 less than their console counterparts, as well as the frequent sales that Steam and GoG have.

The only issue I see is that 750ti and i3 perhaps no longer meeting the minimum requirement of games a few years down the road (towards the end of gen 8), last gen both my CPU and GPU were behind minimum requirements by the end of the gen, and they were both high end components at the beginning of the gen. The reason for this is that developers don't put the same level of optimization into older PC hardware as they do older console hardware, the ever evolving nature of PC hardware causes devs to prioritize optimizing for newer hardware.

I just read an analysis on on WCCFTech that showed the PS4 version is essentially the same as the PC version maxed out in 1080p.  So yes the 750 Ti can run it at 60 FPS, but it isn't using as high quality textures and such.  Also yeah we all know the PS4 has the equivalent of an i3, but then again that's all you need unless you are powering a $400+ GPU.
