If your really looking at it based on cost and you don't care about anything else there is nothing better then a gaming PC and it's not even an contest. 

I can go out and buy a used ps4 for sub £200, it'd cost £110-£125 just to get a GTX950, then you need a case, motherboard, cpu, hdd, mouse, keyboard,psu. My Gaming PC I built 3 years ago cost me £700, sure you can get a cheaper one but I wouldn't, it needs to last and trading in PC parts isn't quite as easy as trading in a console. It is more powerful than a ps4 still, but the gaming experience isn't really any better.

Yes but any PC gamer if he really wanted to could get anything for free once the machine is built and ready. Once you add in live subscription and software prices your paying more. If a PC gamer was a pirate he would be paying much much less but even with steam sales and all the other sales you still end up coming out ahead. The upfront cost are more but the overall savings is more and it's why I tried to swtich to PC gaming. Unfortunately I'm on a mouse and keybnoard all day at work and I'm not going to play on one. I need a controller to do everything.
