    Add 150 for a decent CPU, 40 for 16 GB of memory. Another 80 for a Mainboard for a total of 180+150+40+80=450 USD

    You could have at least spent 2 minutes looking up prices instead of making stuff up. A Ryzen 5600 is $110 and a compatible motherboard $50. That CPU outperforms the PS5 and Xbox Series X by a big margin

    I’m just saying if you want a rig that outperforms a console, it will be in the 4-digits.

    No, you don’t. Here is a list that I quickly threw together. It has a much better CPU and GPU than current gen consoles, and 1TB of SSD storage, for “only” $550

      Not relevant. Games for consoles are much more optimized because there are just a few configurations.

      A PC with similar specs as a console will very likely have worse performance if you compare them.
