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.

There are many more reasons to game on PC than graphics. My games don't look much better than console games on my $650 PC, but they sure run much better. I don't have the stuttering problesm of Fallout 4, and I can run the game at a decent 50-60 fps with high/ultra settings. But what really appeals to me is that I can get the bugs fixed and graphics improved with mods. I can try out the creative endeavors of others without publishers limiting them.  I can choose which ever control scheme I want. I can prioritize framerate in my games or visuals. It is my choice. PC gaming isn't just about visuals, and for me that is my least priority, although it is a nice bonus to have all my games run at 1080p, while console gamers have to compromise image quality and still have worst performance.
