I have a computer with a GTX 650 TI 1 GB, E7500 Core 2 Duo, 6GB RAM DDR2. P5n32-E SLI Motherboard, 450 W LC-Power PSU, which isn't performing to my expectations (getting 20-25 fps on skyrim all low) so I had an offer of a PS4 in exchange for this ''Computer''. I previously tought about trading this ''computer'' for a PS3, but since I can have a PS4...
 
take it imo, it's a good deal, just make sure you can get a cheap work PC or something, that's still pretty important for day to day things.

I mean people say that you can build a budget computer to beat a PS4, but for pure gaming consoles are good deals, especially when you're getting one for free essentially...
 
If your only interest is gaming, and building a new PC is not an option (the only part worth re-using IMHO is the graphics card, which would be able to handle Skyrim on High if not bottlenecked), then I'd say this is a rare case where trading a PC for a console may make sense.
