Game Consoles Are Already Dead — And Developers Know It

Yes that's true. But I am talking about the top tier, the high end of high end. But with a console they can't offer such a thing and gouge you with pricing. My point is, there is so much crap to build a gaming PC and so many types and competitors and prices to choose from. You could easily be fooled and waste money. With a console, what you see is what you get. You save more money is the bottom line and NO ONE can argue that.

Then that would be well over the price range you quoted.

Especially if you started going crazy with the cooling that you need in order to keep it together... I mean, if we're talking best of the best. You would go well over that, sir!

Only if you're a dumbass that doesn't know how to do a little research. So you basically have no point.

Yup, all you really need is Microcenter and a friend with decent knowledge on how to build the system. It really is so much easier than it used to be. Research a little and save a lot.
