Play Station 4 vs The Following PC..

i5-4440,
R9 270x,
Gigabyte H87-D3M,
8 GB (2x4) RAM (1600 MHz),
A Full HD Display with 60Hz refresh rate (same used for both the PS4 and PC seperately),
1 TB int HDD for storage,
120 GB SSD for OS and Games,
Windows 8.1 x64 OEM,
80+ gold 600 W PSU ,
A good Bluray RW optical drive,
Gaming keyboard and mouse (may be wireless controllers too)..
NO OVERCLOCKING IN ANYTHING.

In which of these I can experience smoother gaming? Also, if both is to get outdated in 10 years from now, changing the whole console costs me more than upgrading PC components. So which would be better?

NOTE: Assuming all the games were released for PS4 and PC platform)..

In terms of graphical quality, they would be roughly similar. The PC would look better now, but as developers learn how to squeeze more from the console it would overtake. For smoothness, it depends on what settings your trying to run.
However in literally every other way the PC would be better. You can use a PC for more than just gaming.

No PC or console is ever going to last 10yrs, a PC is going to be outdated in 3yrs. However whatever hardwre is available in 3yrs will beat a current-gen console hands down.
If you did stick with that for 10yrs, not a thing from it is going to be usable. In 10yrs we will probably even be using DDR5.

tough hmmm lets take it like this if you are a sports man like Football, basketball, racing and that PS for sure! + you have pretty good exclusives on PS4 and if you like to chill on sofa with only controler in hands playing some games on the HDTV LED And that bullshit television then PS4 is the best and if you have alot of friends that come to your home its always better to play PS4 then PC collectively to play with friends (i dont say that you cant do that with PC but with PS4 is better)
If you play Dota, WOW, strategy games some FPS shooters (you have them to on PS4) and if you like hanging on the network alot (facebook....etc) then PC

Ok now, I'll never play under High settings (not even med-high settings) and taking that as 3 years, after this period I should change the console totally over but with PC I should upgrade CPU and GPU which would cost lesser.. Please don't consider other things than gaming..

I'm a gamer who cannot pick the best between FPS and racing games.. Both are important for me, once I complete a FPS game I'll go for a racing game and it continues..

Thats the thing, you cant just "change the console totally over". They come out on a release cycle, and the PS3/X360 were around for something like 8yrs so you can expect that or longer with the current consoles.

But when game developers/makers produce games to bring everything out of consoles and like you said it gets outdated in 3 years, won't SONY and Microsoft release their next gen-console? otherwise no console gaming for 5 years?

A lot of game studios cap maximum FPS for PS games and reduce graphical detail tremendously to ensure that the PlayStation hardware, which is exponentially underpowered compared to PC, can run the games. PC gives the best performance/buck.

Console gaming still happens after the hardware is far outperformed by whats available on PC, its just that the games get nerfed because they also need to work on the consoles. Hence the whole sentiment that consoles are holding back PC gaming that usually comes up around 5-6yrs into a console generation.

I'd say go for PC. I played last gen games on mine and have no problems playing "next gen" games on same PC.
With PC there is no next gen, it just incremental improvements in graphics levels and every couple years you need to drop a new GPU.
But at least you're not stuck with a re-skinned version of same game for next 8 years. (CoD i'm looking at you!)
Only downside of PC is it's very anti social but most of my gamer friends live 100s of miles away so it doesn't bother me.

So when it comes to watch dogs, for the card i said this shows that it gives 30+ fps in average and on high settings. If PS4 offers same 30fps too, which one will offer better graphical details and performance?

I see, so the PC will offer good graphic details and more fps with more powerful card?

Yes, in general a more powerful card does bring better performance and graphical details.
