PC is a lot more expensive option for me,i would have ti replace everything except hdd,dvd readers,sound card and case and it would cost me around 1000€, on other side ps4 is 400€ and it has games i like to play on pc.I really dont care about ps4 exclusive games,if theres good one i would play it.For my new pc i would get FX-8350,R9 280X Toxic,+8GB RAM,750W PSU,new motherboar and water cooling,but that seems expensive where i live.
 
Solution
The 280X and FX-8350 is double a PS4's performance... Of course it costs double.

A PS4 is really more like a GTX 750 and AMD Athlon X4 760K.
That is your call, do you like console gaming or PC gaming?
Consoles are cheaper, but the games cost more.
PC will give you better performance and graphics, but it will cost you.

If you play to have fun go ps4, if you play because you want the best, and want it to look good while you play, go PC.

PC because later on you can get even more upgrades rather than just buying a new console. Also, here is a good build for a PC

I wouldn't personally recommend a PS4 unless it's for playing with your friends at home (all on the same room). For personal gaming, I would really recommend the PC. The best would be to get the PC you want, but even if you decide that's too much, you can still make a cheaper PC and still get a better experience than a PS4...
It's all up to you though, I know a lot of people who would rather recommend a PS4...

What do you enjoy the most? What games do you like the most?
Besides pricing, does getting the PS4 have any other advantage for you?
