Here I have a theoretical PC build. I was wondering which one would be better- this PC, or a PS4?
I have a monitor, mouse, and keyboard already.

CPU: AMD Athlon II X4 750K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($79.99 @ Amazon)
Motherboard: Asus F2A55-M LK PLUS Micro ATX FM2 Motherboard ($49.99 @ Newegg)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($40.50 @ Newegg)
Video Card: PowerColor Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition 1GB Video Card ($79.99 @ Newegg)
Case: NZXT Gamma Classic (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($29.99 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: Corsair CX 430W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V Power Supply ($24.99 @ Newegg)
Optical Drive: LG GH24NS95 DVD/CD Writer ($15.00 @ Newegg)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8 (OEM) (64-bit) ($95.88 @ Amazon)
Other: Move existing cable modem ($25.00)
Other: Western Digital 500 GB 7200 rpm HDD ($52.99)
Total: $494.32

A PS4, if you don't know, is $400. I've heard that the graphics on a PS4 are better than a 7770, but the PS4 has a different overall layout. I need to know soon. Thanks!

Just add $150 and you can have a PC to match the PS4 and Xbox One:

This baby will always have a backbone against the PS4 for the years to come. Just like the 8 year old 7800GT that can always play the games that the PS3 plays.

P.S. Theoretically, this baby will beat the PS4 and Xbox One on Mantle supported games. So it's most likely that you are future proof with this one.

The PS4 doesn't even have a GPU, it has an APU.
