Yeah, and with this configuration you will need an upgrade for all the latest PC games in a year. I really don't know why are some even trying. I mean, yeah you can do this, but be ready to only get partially the true PC experience. Hardware price wise they never did and never will beat consoles.

And this is coming from someone who is a regular in the PC gaming scene for almost 20 years now.

The bolded is blatantly false.  This platform should last the whole generation. The CPU outclasses the CPU in consoles considerably. The GPU is an upper-mid end enthusiast card. There shouldn't be a game that is unplayeable for at least 3-5 years and that would coincide with the release of new consoles. 

The only people who need to upgrade every year are those who need to play their games at ultra 1440p+ 60fps indefinitely. 

 

No, I dont want that but 1080p with accveptable performance on ultra settings is a must. I am not a graphics whore, otherwise I wouldent game on consoles, but graphical fidelity is one of the few reasons I still like to put PC's to the limit. Calling what I wrote blatantly false, is pretty much admitting that console quality is perfectly acceptable for PC gamers, while that can actually be called out, judging by the reponse many PC gamers have on this and other forums.
