That is interesting, considering a "Top of the line brand new (gaming) pc" usualy costs atleast 700$, sometimes even almost 1000$. As for Xb1 it is supposed to be an entertaiment system and therefor concentrates more on "Illuminating the living room" (as stated by some Microsoft dude), so if gaming is more important to you i´d go with a ps4. Although i heard that the xb1 is supposedly better because of various online services blablabla. A standard gaming pc would need an overhaul everytime the current generation improves, meaning some new specs every two years, while you only have to by a new console when a new generation is incoming (meaning once every 10 years).

Personally if i got the money i´d get the xbone sine i grew up with xbox and halo and shtuff. Also the consoles are trying to push the gaming PC out of the buisness and therefor have many exclusives and bonuses over the normal pc. (Like with the different release dates for the Dawnguard DLC. Xbox got it 1st, PC 1 month later and PS3 got it extremly late.)

Note: This is just my opinion and based on the information i gathered/heard/picked up over the internet. All my knowledge about PCs come from friends that own one. I myself only have an Xbox 360 elite.
