To be fair, that build wouldn't necessarily be on par to the PS4, and maybe the XOne. You'd need to up the CPU to an i3 at least, and the GPU to be a 270x to compare to the PS4. It would add another $80 or so to the build. This would then give the PS4 value as it has had since launch. As far as building the PC, I'd imgaine those buying the parts should be comfortable building it.
As some have already said, the savings come from the games. I assume most of the PC sales come from Steam sales, which means huge savings compared to console games even when they go on sale. Personally, I prefer console because I tend to enjoy the exclusives more than say the average multiplat.
