Further breaking down the sybergaming specs:
That GTX 960 is strictly a 1920x1080 gaming card. The only way you're going to be seeing multi displays or 2560x1440 is on older or lighter overhead games, not games using high end game engines.
Even a GTX 970, although advertised by Nvidia as being a 4K video card, is really more of a 2560x1440 card.
The GTX 980 is where high performance evens out a bit more, but now we're talking about a $1419 preconfig box in a discussion comparing $349 consoles.
Personally, I would be configuring my own box at these prices based on an i7 Skylake and most likely a GTX 970 with a total build price of anywhere between $1,000 and $1,200. I could do one under $1,000 with some compromises, but even looking at a $1,200 build (which could be upgraded to a GTX980 with the same compromises), I would really have to like those Alienware cases to pay extra for a preconfig system.
As for the $499 build, which is what we should be comparing to consoles, that's minimum spec for high end games. If people are buying those to play high end games, they're probably going to be upset with the performance.
