I need some links to pcs that can perform better than or equal to next gen consoles. (Price around $800 but it can sway up or down)
 
Solution
This build would run new games at high or ultra 60 fps settings without problems (the "next gen" consoles would run the same games at medium-high settings @ 30 fps most of the time). It is a pretty powerful build, especially for it's price.

This is a pretty solid build that would get you really good performance for it's price:

Note: This price does not include the price of windows, if you needed windows included in the build, let me know.

FYI this is for building yourself, not a prebuilt PC (which I don't really recommend, you get much more bang for your buck when you build yourself and it is super easy).
