Better at some areas like the CPU* but worse at others like the GPU. If your question is "will I be able to play games for the next 3 years with mid-high settings?" then yes, you should have no problems.

Even tho console hardware seems like a midrange PC at the time they come out they are more optimized for gaming, and the games themselves are optimized for the hardware.

Its better than a console, but as a gaming machine its not that optimized.
Downgrade the CPU to an i5, spend what you save on getting a beefier GPU.

Also right now, this is a crazy good value.
