Then you have to deal with the fact that PC is infested with DRM. Steam, Uplay, Windows Store, and Origin are all DRM. Windows is nagware, as well as spyware. 

You also have to deal with the fact that PS4, Xbox One and Switch are infested with DRM. Sony's PS Store + PS Now, Xbox Marketplace + GamePass and Nintendo eShop + Virtual Console are all DRM. Any console game without a retail release is 100% DRM while you can buy many PC games digitally without DRM, f.e. at GOG.com or the Humble Store.

PS4 OS, Xbox OS and Switch OS are all spyware which collect data of your gaming behavior.

Finally, a $1000 PC will absolutely not get you 4K, unless you are buying shoddy parts, or cutting massive corners. 

Depends on the games you want to play in 4K.

I agree with the bolded. The prices for digital versions of AAA games on consoles are a joke.  Consoles also have DRM, but they have way less than PC. I'd say there's about a 1 in 5 chance of a AAA game coming to GoG, while almost all AAA games on consoles are available at retail. If its on GoG I'll get it for PC for sure. But otherwise I'll be going for whatever version is DRM free. 

Yes, depends on the games you want to play. Most AAA games won't run at 4K 30 FPS on a 1K rig though.
