Some comparison with PC hardware
CPU = AMD FX8350 with cooler 174$
GPU = RX 480 8GB 280$
MB = Gigabyte AM3+ 53$
Ram = 8GB 34$
PSU = 500w 38$
HD = 1TB 37$
Blu Ray Drive = 55$
DualShock 4 = 47$
Windows 10 = 85$
total 803$
and now ad in 200$ if you life in Europe
I dont get how can people hate Sony for giving you a Gaming PC for half the price like what is wrong with that? The PS4 Pro is a wonderfull value to anybody not only console gamers

Okay. So.
1) Anyone who buys an AMD FX AM3+ system right now is essentially wasting money.
2) Ram. Go with a Crucial Ballistics 2x4Gb DDR3 1600mhz memory for $34. - Same price, more performance.
2) Get the OS from Computer Recyclers/Swap meet for a couple bucks/free. - Save $80 - $85
3) Stick with the keyboard and mouse rather than the PS4 controller. - Save: $40
4) PC is mostly digital, you can ditch the optical drive or go with the cheaper LG at $46. - Save: $9 - $55.
5) If you really need to stay with AMD, get the FX 6300 instead. - Save: $84
6) Do you really need an 8Gb Radeon 480 card? The 4Gb card is more than enough for most people. - Save $51
That's up-to $315 shaved off right there and I wasn't even trying.
Converesly, you can't ignore the cheaper games, free online either. If you have a large games library like I do, you could save a shit ton of cash.
This kind of comparison happens with every new console release, nothing has changed with the Playstation 4 Pro verses the Playstation 4's release relative to the PC.
And really, I doubt you are going to convince PC gamers to leave their platform anyway.
Ultimately though, I think you are missing the point of the PC. It's about choice.
You wan't better hardware than the Playstation 4 Pro? Then you shall have it.
Want a gaming PC that's cheaper than the Playstation 4 Pro? But with less quality graphics? You can have that too.

They are only $5-$10.
